Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' in the water.

The next week and a half is a story of slow build and then some serious firepower. Don't expect much in the way of quality right now, but if you can wait, the payoff looks real. The water is a balmy 88°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – you'll be in boardies, no question.

The first few days are a bit of a write-off, honestly. Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th are only offering marginal surf with cross-onshore breezes messing up the face. The swell is there, around 4ft to 4ft from the SSW, but the wind is just enough to ruffle it up. Not worth paddling out for.

Things start to get interesting on Monday the 13th. The morning goes glassy, with a clean 4ft SSW swell. It's small, but the tide might be a factor. The energy is moderate (518). The afternoon picks up a bit with a clean 3ft and cross-off wind. Still not a standout, but a step in the right direction.

Tuesday the 14th and Wednesday the 15th are similar – small, clean, glassy mornings with the swell dropping to 2ft. The combined energy dips to 312 on Wednesday, which is weak. You could get a few fun ones on the longboard, but that's about it.

Then things get real. Thursday the 16th is a game changer. The morning swell jumps to 5ft from the S, with a moderate energy of 954 and glassy conditions. But the afternoon is where it's at. The swell pumps up to 8ft from the S, with a period of 12 seconds. The energy is strong at 1779, and it's glassy. This is for experienced surfers only – it's too big for beginners. Friday the 17th keeps that energy going with 8ft SSW swell, glassy in the morning and clean offshore in the afternoon. This is the first real standout period.

The weekend softens a bit, but Sunday the 19th has a nice glassy morning with a 4ft SW swell that has a very long period of 17 seconds, giving it strong energy (929). That long period will make the waves at this reef setup really fold nicely.

But hold onto your leash, because the real standout is coming. On Monday the 21st of July, we're looking at a massive 15ft SSW swell, with a period of 13 seconds. The combined energy is a whopping 7925, which is very strong. It's glassy in the morning. This is exceptional surf, but strictly for experts. If you're not comfortable in big, powerful waves, stay on the beach and watch. The following Tuesday the 22nd is still solid for experienced surfers, with a 8ft WSW swell, glassy morning.

The tail end of the period has some more solid, glassy mornings for experienced surfers, like the 25th and 26th of July. The 26th of July Sunday morning looks particularly good, with 8ft from the SW and glassy conditions.

So, if you're looking for the best of the best, circle Thursday the 16th afternoon through Friday the 17th, and then the absolute standout is Monday the 21st of July for the big wave crew. The crowds at Quimixto can be an issue sometimes, but with these sizes, the lineup might thin out a bit.

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.
