Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about the surf. We've got a bit of a slow cooker rolling into the region, but it's got a killer finish if you're patient.
For the next several days, the energy is dropping off. Tuesday the 7th starts with a solid 4ft SSW groundswell, and with that glassy NE breeze, it's going to be a beautiful, clean morning. The water is sitting right about where you'd expect for this time of year, nothing weird going on. You’ll feel that 18-second period pulsing in, and the energy reading of 1567 says there's plenty of push for a beginner-friendly reef. Watch for the swell to bump up a touch in the afternoon, but the wind goes a bit wonky, making it a messy session. The next couple of mornings, Wednesday and Thursday, stay clean with glassy conditions and waves holding around 5ft to 5ft (combined energy between 1000 and 1300), which is really nice. The wind stays glassy or light, so the morning sessions are the go.
Then it gets quiet. From Friday the 10th through to Monday the 13th, we see the swell drop. The wave energy drops below the 1000 mark, and the winds turn cross-on, making things crumbly and marginal. Not worth paddling out for. Tuesday the 14th has a short window of absolute calm with a 2ft swell at 18 seconds, which is promising if you just want a quiet, glassy paddle, but there's hardly any size.
The real standout window for experienced surfers is the final few days of the outlook. Monday the 20th of July sees a big bump, with 8ft SSW swell pushing in, though morning winds are a bit crossy. But hold onto your board—the afternoon of the 20th into the 21st is the bomb. Tuesday the 21st is the best on offer. We’re looking at a massive 12ft SW groundswell, glassy calm winds all morning in the clear weather, and the wave energy is huge (3239). That's strong, powerful surf. Winds stay offshore again Tuesday afternoon, keeping it clean. This is serious stuff, not for the faint-hearted—over 8ft, this is expert territory only. That long-period groundswell will be hitting the reef with authority but the period (12 seconds) isn't so long that it'll race straight past. It's going to be a proper session for the crew who know what they're doing.
The morning of Wednesday the 22nd holds similar, with another 10ft SW swell and glassy conditions (2644 energy). The whole sequence from the 20th to the 22nd is the real highlight, with a monster clean swell.
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.
