The Lowdown

Alright crew, Rusty here. Let's break down this sixteen-day window. The only spot lighting up is Quimixto, so that's where we're looking.

The first proper swell hits Sunday the 26th of July. We're talking 5ft waves from the southwest, with a period of 18 seconds – that's a long, juicy groundswell. The energy is solid (1696 in the morning), and the conditions are glassy. For experienced surfers, this is prime. Yes, you might see a few others out as crowds are "sometimes", but it's far from packed. The water temperature is nothing unusual for this time of year.

Come Sunday afternoon, the wind shifts to a 10 km/h cross-offshore breeze, but the energy actually jumps up (2160). Still excellent, but the morning's glass is the real gem.

Monday the 27th brings a serious step up in size. We're looking at 8ft in the morning, hitting 8ft in the afternoon from the south-southwest. That's expert-only territory. The wind is messing with it though—cross-onshore both sessions—and the wave comment calls it "marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions." Lots of water moving (more than 3000 energy), but the wind is fighting the quality.

The real standout is Wednesday morning the 29th of July. Solid 6ft swell from the south-southwest, a 16-second period, and absolutely glassy conditions. The energy is still pumping at 1662, and the report says "excellent for experienced surfers." That's your session.

From there, the swell slowly fades. Thursday the 30th morning still has a clean 5ft swell and zero wind, but less power (1164). Friday the 31st through Monday the 3rd of August see the swell drop from 4ft down to 2ft. The glassy mornings will still give you clean little waves, but the punch is gone.

Into the second week, a new little pulse shows up around Thursday the 6th of August. It's a very long 18-second period, but only 2ft of swell. The afternoons of the 6th and the mornings of the 7th, 8th, and 9th are glassy or calm, so you'll get some clean, weak, long-period lines. The energy is low (300-400), but it's still surfable and fun on the right board.

Bottom line: Wednesday the 29th of July is the one to aim for. The Sunday the 26th and Tuesday the 28th are also top-notch. After that, it's a slow slide into small, clean, gentle surf.

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.
