Alright, Rusty here from Quimixto. Let's get into what's cooking.
We've got a slow start. The first few days, the surf is just too small and weak to get excited about. Monday, July 13th, has a waist-high wave at 4ft from the SSW, but the energy is only moderate (520). The water temp is about normal for this time of year. You'll get some glassy windows, but the quality is poor. The whole first week is mostly small, weak, and messy. There's a few fun-sized waves on Sunday the 19th, but it's not the main event.
The first real standout is the stretch from Monday, July 20th, through Wednesday, July 22nd. The swell is building and holding strong at 4ft to 6ft from the SW, with energy readings over 1000 (1018 on Monday morning). The wind is glassy, so the faces will be clean and smooth. This is a classic, long-period groundswell that will be working beautifully on the reef. Tuesday the 21st afternoon gets a bump to 5ft, and Wednesday the 22nd morning is the peak at 6ft. That's solid, fun size for a reef, and with that glassy wind, it's going to be fantastic. Just keep in mind, crowds are possible here.
The real big one hits on Monday, July 27th. The swell jumps to 7ft from the S in the morning, pushing to 8ft in the afternoon. The energy is massive (2218 and 2361). This is expert-only territory. Winds are calm and glassy in the morning, then turning clean offshore in the afternoon. That's a powerful, clean swell for the experienced crew. By Tuesday the 28th, it's a monster 13ft, but the wind turns cross-on, making it a messy, choppy mess. More of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a write-off. The real fun is the clean, manageable groundswell from July 20th to 22nd, and then the big, expert-level swell on July 27th. Don't bother with the small stuff.
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.
