Alright folks, Rusty here, checking in with a look at what we’ve got cooking down the road. The next couple of weeks are shaping up with a real mixed bag. There’s surf on offer, but you’re gonna have to pick your moments.

The first real session I’d paddle out for kicks off Tuesday afternoon, July 7th, at Quimixto, a reef set-up that’s consistent and good for beginners. We’ve got a solid 6ft SSW groundswell rumbling in with a very long 18-second period. That’s a heap of raw energy pushing through, with the combined swell energy hitting a beefy 1806. Now, that long period at a reef break should mean some nice, lined-up waves, but it’ll also mean lulls between sets. The wind is a light 6 mph cross-shore from the West, so it won’t be perfect, but it’s rideable. Water temps are sitting at 88°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year – a solid 5° above average, so the water’s gunna feel like a bath. Expect a few others out as crowds are sometimes an issue here.

Wednesday, July 8th, is where the real magic starts. By the morning we’ve got a clean 5ft SSW swell, still a long 16-second period, but the wind switches and it’s game on. A glassy 3 mph cross-offshore breeze from the SE, and the wave comment says it all: expect very good surf. The energy is still strong at 1315. The afternoon session looks just as good – dead flat glassy conditions with barely a breath from the ESE. That is primo.

Thursday the 9th keeps the good times rolling with clean, cross-offshore conditions in the morning and a dropping swell of 5ft, still with that sweet 16-second pulse. The afternoon looks epic again with glassy conditions. This stretch from Wednesday morning through Friday morning is the standout period. Thursday morning’s combined energy is 1011, still packing a punch.

Friday the 10th has a glassy morning with 4ft SSW swell, and that’s the end of the clean run. By the afternoon, a cross-on breeze rolls in and the quality drops off.

We then hit a flat, grotty patch from Saturday the 11th right through to Sunday the 12th. The surf gets smaller, the wind turns cross-on or onshore, and frankly, the conditions are poor. A few days you’ll want to find something else to do.

Monday the 13th sees a glimmer of hope with a glassy 3ft SSW swell in the morning, but it’s a shadow of what we had. The energy is down to 451, more moderate. Tuesday the 14th is interesting – early morning we’ve got dead calm, glassy conditions with a tiny 2ft groundswell from the SW, but with an 18-second period! That long period on a small wave might make for some weird, straight-breaking ones at the reef, but if you’ve got the patience, it could be fun and uncrowded.

We limp through the middle of the month with small, mostly mediocre surf until Thursday morning, July 16th. That’s when a new swell from the South, 5ft, arrives with an 11-second period. The wind is light 3 mph from the NNE and glassy. The combined energy is back over 1000 at 1062, so it’s got some grunt. That morning session looks like a proper go. The afternoon builds to 6ft S swell but gets onshore chop, so get it early.

The last bit of the run has some clean, glassy mornings around Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th. Sunday the 19th looks sweet with a glassy 3ft SW groundswell, long 17-second period and a combined energy of 983. Good, clean, small waves.

Overall, the pick of the bunch is without doubt the stretch from Wednesday morning, July 8th through Friday morning, July 10th. That’s when we get the best combination of solid SSW swell, very long period, and clean, glassy to offshore winds. After that, you’re hunting for the odd clean morning session.

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.
