The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down the surf for Quimixto.
The water is a warm 89°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so you’ll be comfortable in just boardies.
The real action starts on Tuesday 28 July afternoon. A solid SSW groundswell, 6ft at a long 16 seconds, with a huge 2229 combined energy reading. The wind is a light cross-on from the NW, so it’s a little bumpy, but there’s a ton of water moving. This is a powerful session for experienced surfers only.
Wednesday 29 July morning is the absolute standout. The swell is still 6ft from the SSW with that dreamy 16-second period, and the wind is dead calm. Glassy perfection. The energy is a very strong 1783. This is the one you wait for.
Thursday 30 July is still excellent, with the swell dropping to 5ft and 14 seconds, but with morning glass again. Clean, rippable lines. By Friday 31 July we’re at 4ft, but it’s glassy in the morning, making for a fun, smaller day.
There’s a lull from the 1st of August through the first few days, with the swell dropping under 3ft. The mornings are generally glassy, so you’ll get clean little waves, but nothing to really write home about. The energy drops into the low hundreds.
Swell starts to build again around Thursday 6 August morning. Clean 2ft, and the energy is picking up. Then Friday 7 August is a cracker: morning glass with 3ft from the SSW, but it’s a very long 18-second period. The afternoon on the 7th is even better – 3ft, glassy, and 685 energy. That’s a sneaky good session.
Saturday 8 August morning sees the swell push up to 4ft with a 16-second period, but the wind is cross-on, so it’s not as clean. Still, 999 energy in the water. Sunday 9 August morning is the pick of that second week: 4ft, glassy, and a clean 14-second period.
From the 10th onward, the swell drops again, but the very long period swells (18-19 seconds) hang around, giving clean, small lines in the morning. This is a classic reef – those long-period groundswells will wrap in beautifully.
The absolute standout? Wednesday 29 July morning. That’s the one. Be there.
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.
