Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it. We've got a solid run of surf on the way at one spot that's looking like the main event for the next couple of weeks. The water out there is a toasty 88°, which is a good 5 degrees warmer than normal for this time of year – that's pretty unusual, so you'll be surfing in bathwater.

It kicks off on Friday, July 3rd. The afternoon is a bit average with a 3ft SSW swell and a light cross breeze, but things really start to shape up from there.

Saturday, July 4th, is where it begins. Morning glass off with a 4ft SSW groundswell (14-second period) and no wind to speak of. The energy is moderate at (649). That's a super clean session to get the weekend rolling.

Sunday, July 5th, is another standout. Morning glass again, swell bumps up to 4ft from the SSW, and the period stretches out to a very long 17 seconds. The energy jumps into the strong zone (1066). This is classic reef-break grunt – long, powerful lines. It'll be a ripper for the experienced crew, just be ready for longer waits between sets.

Monday, July 6th, and Tuesday, July 7th, are the absolute peak of this run. Monday morning is dead calm with a 4ft SSW groundswell (16s) and energy climbing to (1324). Tuesday is the highlight. A 4ft SSW groundswell with an 18-second period, glassy as a mirror, and the energy is pumping at (1558). We're looking at "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers" here. This is the pick of the forecast – you don't want to miss Tuesday morning.

By Wednesday and Thursday, the swell stays solid, in the 4ft to 6ft range, with morning glass and good energy. The afternoon sea breezes and storm risks kick in, but the mornings remain top shelf.

After a bit of a drop-off through the middle of the second week, holding waist to chest-high for the keen, we get one more spike on Friday, July 17th. The morning shows a 5ft S swell but with a cross-onshore wind, so it'll be a bit lumpy. The afternoon is better with the same size, a 16-second period and strong energy (1511).

Then the big finale: Saturday, July 18th. Look, this one is for the big-wave chargers only. We've got a 12ft SSW swell hammering in on a 13-second period. The energy reading is a massive (4228). That's a serious amount of water moving. It's also a bit onshore in the morning, so it'll be a raw, powerful, and probably dangerous day. The inexperienced should sit this one out.

In short, the first week is pure gold, topped by Tuesday, July 7th. The second week fades but finishes with some serious, heavy swell for the experts. Get on it while it's good.

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.
