The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty back again with the same stretch in numbers you might be more used to. Here we go.
We’ve got Quimixto (reef) as the only real player across this two-week run. The water’s warm, sitting right about 88°, a bit warmer than the usual this time of year.
Friday morning July 17th: Some clouds, glassy with a light ENE breeze at 3 mph. Swell running 3ft out of the SSW with a 12-second period and 364 combined energy. Clean, easy, a nice way to start.
First real standout: Saturday afternoon July 18th. Dead calm, zero wind, glassy surface. 2ft of SW swell but with a 19-second period, pushing 509 energy toward the reef. The long period will add some shape—just you and the ocean.
Sunday afternoon July 19th also glassy, 2ft SW swell, 18 seconds, 705 energy. Quality.
Monday morning July 20th: More glass with light NNE airflow at 3 mph. 4ft of SW swell, 16 seconds, and 1001 energy. This is serious, clean reef surfing and not too crowded if you’re on it early.
Into Tuesday the 21st morning: Glassy again, 3ft SSW at 15 seconds, 723 energy. Another clean slate.
The last part of July heats up into something special. Saturday morning July 25th: Glassy, 4ft SW swell, 21-second period, 1261 energy. Big, long lines coming through.
But mark July 26th and 27th on your calendar. Sunday the 26th morning: 5ft of SW swell at 18 seconds, a massive 1780 combined energy, and glassy wind. This is for experienced surfers—powerful, plenty of push. Monday morning the 27th: 5ft SSW swell, 19 seconds, 1884 energy, again dead calm. That’s the prime window right there, perfect for the reef.
We fade out toward July 30th and 31st with clean mornings and 4ft to 3ft SSW swell before the energy drops off into early August. Still clean, still surfable, but not the same power.
Bottom line—the best glassy morning windows are July 18th through 21st, and the biggest, most powerful standouts hit July 26th and 27th. Don’t sleep on them.
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.
