The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
We’ve got a solid run of swell on the way for Quimixto, but the start of the week is a bit of a write-off, so don’t rush out just yet. The first good window opens up Wednesday morning, July 29th, and that’s where the real stoke begins.
The early part of the week, Tuesday July 28th, is a no-go. The swell is pushing 6ft from the SSW with a very long 17-second period, and the combined wave energy is pumping hard at 2740 – strong to very strong. Wind is cross-on, conditions are messy. Wait it out.
Now, Wednesday morning July 29th is the standout. Clean 6ft SSW swell, long 16-second period, energy still strong at 1646, and the wind goes glassy. That means glassy, clean conditions. This is a proper reef break, so that long-period groundswell will wrap in beautifully. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, but with the size and power, it’s more for the experienced crew. Water temp is about average for the time of year.
Thursday morning July 30th is also a treat. Swell drops to 5ft from the SSW, 14-second period, with energy moderate at 1050. The wind is dead calm – glassy again. Perfect.
From Friday July 31st onward, the swell starts to fade. Friday morning has 4ft from the SSW, 13-second period, glassy, but energy dropping to 575. Still surfable and clean. Saturday August 1st morning is tiny at 3ft, and by Sunday August 2nd it’s barely breaking.
There’s a long gap from Sunday August 2nd all the way through to the following weekend. Swell drops to 1ft to 2ft, mostly weak energy in the 100-300 range, conditions ordinary or poor. Proper lull.
Things pick up again around Saturday August 8th, with swell building back to 4ft from the SSW, 16-second period, energy at 886. But wind is cross-on, not clean. The real return is Sunday August 9th morning: 4ft SSW, 14-second period, glassy. Good call for the second week, but less certain this far out.
Best of the best is Wednesday morning July 29th and Thursday morning July 30th. Glassy, clean, solid groundswell at a reef break. That’s where you want to be.
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.
