The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. Rusty here, looking at the Quatro-Once (411) region for the next 16 days. This is a point break, exposed to the south-southwest, and it's a consistent spot that's good for beginners. The water temperature is sitting at 85° – that's a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might be needing less rubber than usual.
The best of the whole outlook kicks off right away. Wednesday afternoon, September 9th, we’ve got a glassy, clean 3ft SSW groundswell rolling in with a 16-second period. The combined energy is strong (817), and with the wind dead glass, it's going to be a dream. The swell direction is bang on the optimum for this spot. You’ll have some company, but it’s a consistent break, so there’s plenty to go around. This is the standout session – a real beauty.
Thursday morning, September 10th, keeps the magic going. The swell bumps up a touch to 4ft, still from the SW, with a 15-second period, and the wind stays glassy. The energy is very strong (957). This is another top-tier window. The afternoon sees the wind shift to a light WNW, still glassy, and the swell holds at 4ft – still excellent.
Friday morning, September 11th, is still good. We’ve got a 4ft SW swell at 16 seconds, with a light east wind making it clean. The energy is solid (773). The afternoon gets a bit more cross-shore, and the quality drops.
After that, things get a bit patchy. Saturday and Sunday have some smaller swell, and the wind starts to mess with the shape. We get a few glassy windows, like Sunday morning with a 3ft SW swell, but it’s much weaker.
The next real highlight pops up on Thursday morning, September 17th. The swell is back to a clean 3ft from the SW, with a 14-second period, and the wind is glass. The energy is moderate (521). Right after that, the wind gets messy again.
The very last day, Thursday, September 24th, has a note of hope. The wind is dead calm and glassy, with a 2ft SW groundswell, but the energy is weak (197). It’s rideable, but it’s a shadow of what’s on offer this week.
So, to sum it up: the first two days are the absolute gold. Wednesday and Thursday, September 9th and 10th, are the ones to clear your schedule for. The rest is a mix of small, often windy days, with only a few brief, clean windows scattered in the second week. It’s a classic case of get it while it's hot.
Rusty.

Information about the Quatro-Once (411) Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Quatro-Once (411) provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Quatro-Once (411) can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Quatro-Once (411) 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 (Quatro-Once (411)) 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 Quatro-Once (411) 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.
