Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s shaping up for Quimixto over the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a classic reef set-up that’s consistent, and it’s looking pretty promising, especially for the beginner to intermediate crew.
Right off the bat, this Friday morning (July 3rd), we’ve got glassy conditions with a clean 4 ft SSW swell rolling in with a 14-second period. The combined energy is sitting at 629, which is a solid, moderate pulse of energy. It’s calm as a mirror out there, so those first few hours are going to be super user-friendly. The water temp is running about average for this time of year, so no nasty surprises.
Over the weekend, Saturday morning (July 4th) is another glassy winner with a steady 4 ft SSW swell, the energy picking up a touch to 649. Sunday morning (July 5th) is where things start to get real interesting. The swell bumps up to 4 ft, period stretches to 17 seconds, and the energy jumps right up to 1202. That’s a healthy groundswell pushing in, and with glassy conditions from an offshore ENE breeze, it’s going to be clean and lined-up. This is a standout session for the week.
Monday morning (July 6th) keeps the good times rolling. Another 4 ft SSW swell, 16-second period, and the energy is up to 1371 – that’s moderate to strong energy. With the wind dead calm, it’ll be a beautiful morning for logging some long rides. This is the best on offer for the first week. The afternoons do get a bit of a cross-onshore breeze and the occasional risk of a thunderstorm, so get out early.
The following Tuesday (July 7th) and Wednesday (July 8th) mornings are both glassy again, with the swell holding at 4 ft to 6 ft. Wednesday morning especially has a 6 ft SSW swell with 16-second intervals and a combined energy of 1470. That swell is getting solid, and while it’s still clean, anything over 5 ft starts to push into more intermediate territory. For the experienced surfers, those morning windows on Tuesday and Wednesday are a serious highlight.
As we move into the second week, the consistency stays, but the size drops back a bit. Thursday (July 9th) and Friday (July 10th) mornings are still glassy with 4 ft to 5 ft SSW swells. Energy is still healthy, around the 740 to 1009 mark. These are solid, reliable sessions for the reef. From the 11th onwards, the swell dips under 4 ft, and the conditions get a bit more mixed with cross-onshore winds showing up more often. The energy drops into the 500-700 range, so it’s not a write-off, but it’s definitely more of a fun-sized mellow day than a pumping one.
The tail end of the forecast, around July 15th to 17th, sees the swell drop to under 3 ft and the energy falls below 500. The wind is pretty consistently cross-onshore, so the quality drops off. There’s a gap of a few days there where the surf is poor or just marginal. We do see a small return of glassy conditions on the morning of July 18th with a 2 ft SSW swell, but it’s a slow one.
If I had to pick the real standout: head to Quimixto on the morning of Sunday, July 5th, or Tuesday, July 7th. Clean glass, decent 4 ft swell from the SSW, and loads of energy. That’s your 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.
