The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a real sweet spot opening up straight away. The window kicks off with building SW groundswell and it looks like the standout is gonna be Saturday the 26th and Sunday the 27th of July. The swell is solid, coming in at 5ft to 8ft from the SW and SSW, with a very long period of 18 to 17 seconds, packing a heap of energy (1837 to 3006). That’s big, powerful, and long-period groundswell. For a reef break like Quimixto, that’s a perfect recipe. The real kicker is the wind. On Sunday morning the 26th, it’s dead calm—absolutely glassy. And the water is sitting at 88°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The 8ft swell on Monday morning the 27th is the biggest, but it’s also glassy early – that’s the pick of the whole run for experienced surfers ready to handle that size. Expect clean, lined-up waves. Crowds are possible given the quality, but it’s a consistent reef, so there’s usually plenty of peaks.
After that peak, the energy holds through the 28th and 29th, but the wind shifts to a cross-onshore, and the conditions get a bit bumpy. The swell stays around 5ft to 6ft, but it’s less clean. The period drops from 17 seconds down to 14 seconds by the 30th, so the magic is gone.
Then we hit a lull. From the 30th of July afternoon, the swell sinks below 4ft and the energy levels drop off a cliff (down to 342 and below). The last week of the run, from the 1st of August onwards, is pretty flat. There are a few glassy mornings with tiny 1ft to 2ft waves, but it’s only really surfable for a longboard if you’re desperate. The 8th of August has a glimmer with 2ft and 16-second period, but the energy is weak (158). Basically, after the 31st of July morning, it’s a long gap of very ordinary to poor conditions right through to the end of the forecast.
So, to sum it up: the first few days are the ones. Sunday the 26th and Monday morning the 27th are the true standouts. After that, you’re chasing leftovers.
Rusty.

Information about the Quimixto Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Quimixto provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Quimixto can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Quimixto surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Quimixto) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Quimixto may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Quimixto is 21 km (13 miles) from Puerto Vallarta. If you plan a holiday in Jalisco, look for hotels and other accommodation in Puerto Vallarta. Puerto Vallarta has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
