The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for the upcoming stretch at Quimixto. This is a classic reef set-up, and it’s looking like a solid run of waves for those who know what they’re doing.

The water is sitting at 88°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – you’ll be glad of that when you’re sitting out there.

We kick off on Thursday morning, July 23rd. It’s small, with a clean 2ft SW groundswell, but the main event is the glassy conditions. The energy is still low (293), so it’s a gentle start to the morning. The afternoon gets messy with a cross-switch, so don’t expect much.

Friday morning, July 24th, is where it starts to get interesting. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the SSW, the period is a solid 24 seconds, and it’s dead glass again. The energy is climbing (860). That’s a long-period groundswell for a reef, which means nice, lined-up waves but long waits between sets. The morning is the go.

Saturday, July 25th, is your first real standout. Morning glass with a 4ft SW swell (1105 energy) – that’s a beautiful combo. Then the afternoon gets even better. The swell hits 5ft from the SW, period drops slightly to 19s, but the wind goes cross-offshore. That’s clean, punchy, and way more consistent. This is excellent for experienced surfers.

Sunday, July 26th, keeps the quality high. Glassy morning again with 5ft SW swell (1698 energy). The afternoon is cross-off and clean with the same size. Two solid days back-to-back of clean, reefy waves.

Monday, July 27th, the swell jumps up to 7ft from the S, period at 14s, and the morning is glassy (3090 energy). That’s a heavy, powerful swell for the reef. This is expert territory. The afternoon turns cross-shore and messy, so stick to the morning.

Tuesday, July 28th, the morning is a bit cross-shore on the 7ft SSW swell, but the afternoon is a dead calm, glassy 6ft SSW swell (2977 energy). That’s a late-afternoon session that could be magic.

Wednesday, July 29th, is your next absolute standout. The morning is glassy with a 8ft SW swell, period 13s, and energy at 3180. The afternoon sees it bump to 8ft SW with a clean cross-off wind. That’s big, powerful, and clean. This is the peak of the whole run, but it’s strictly for experts.

Thursday, July 30th, the swell backs off to 6ft, but the morning glass is still there. The afternoon turns cross-onshore, so it’s a morning-only call.

Friday, July 31st, through the first week of August, you can feel the surf fading. Friday morning has a clean 5ft WSW swell (960 energy), but after that, the size drops steadily. Saturday, August 1st, sees 4ft, and by Sunday, August 2nd, we’re down to 2ft. The energy drops into the few hundreds from there.

From Monday, August 3rd, through to Wednesday, August 5th, it’s a flat spell. Waist-high or smaller, with the energy sitting below 200. The wind is often glassy, but there’s just no power. This is a gap of about 3-4 days of very ordinary surf.

Thursday, August 6th, there’s a little flicker of life. The afternoon has a clean 2ft SSW swell, but the period jumps to 18 seconds and the energy hits 373. It’s small, but clean and long-period – a sneaky little late session.

Friday, August 7th, finishes the run with a clean 2ft SW swell in the morning (391 energy). The afternoon is cross-onshore, so it’s a brief window.

The pick of the entire run? Without a doubt, Saturday, July 25th afternoon through Wednesday, July 29th morning. Big, clean, powerful swell on a reef. If you’re an expert, you’re looking at the 8ft Wednesday afternoon session. If you want something a little more manageable, the Saturday morning glass is your best bet. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.

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.
