Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a solid run of waves coming up at Quimixto, with a few real standout sessions that have me pretty stoked. The water is sitting at 88°F for the first session we’re looking at, which is much warmer than what’s normal for this time of year, so you can leave the thick wetsuit at home.
We kick things off proper on Monday, July 6th. The morning session is where it’s at. We’re looking at a 4ft SSW groundswell with a very long period of 16 seconds pushing a heap of energy (1318). The wind is glassy from the NNE at just 3 mph, so you can expect clean, lined-up sets. This is a reef break, and with that long period, it’s going to suck the life out of the swell and wrap in beautifully. This is the best on offer early on.
Tuesday morning, July 7th, is another gem. The swell ticks up to 4ft, still from the SSW but with an even longer period of 18 seconds. The energy is huge at 1567. With the wind completely calm and glassy, it’s going to be pristine. This wave has ‘excellent’ written all over it, but at that size and power on a reef, it’s for the experienced crew. Afternoons through the week get a bit dicey with the risk of thunderstorms and shifting cross-shore winds.
Wednesday, July 8th, and Thursday, July 9th, keep the fun going. Both mornings are glassy with 5ft and 5ft SSW swells. The energy stays moderate to strong (1324 and 1022). The long periods (16 seconds) mean the reef will be working nicely, and the glassy conditions will keep the surface like a mirror.
There’s a bit of a lull from Friday, July 10th, through the weekend and into the start of the next week. The swell drops a little, the winds turn cross or onshore, and the quality drops off. You might get a small window here and there, like Monday morning, July 13th, with a 4ft SSW swell and glassy wind, but the energy is low and the size is marginal.
Now, if you can wait, we’ve got a late-hitting standout in the second week. Take a look at Friday, July 17th. That Friday afternoon session is looking serious. A 6ft SSW swell rolls in with a period of 12 seconds, pumping out strong energy (1425). The wind is light and glassy from the ESE at 3 mph. This one is marked as excellent for experienced surfers because 6ft on a reef with that energy is a proper step up. Saturday morning, July 18th, holds that size at 7ft, but the period shortens to 10 seconds, making it a bit chunkier and less refined.
Take note: the swell over 5ft in the later part of the window is for the experienced surfers only. For the rest of us, those glassy mornings around the 6th to the 9th of July are your absolute best bet for clean, fun waves.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
