The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s coming in your local waters.
The next couple weeks have a real nice run of long-period SW groundswell, but it’s the first week that’s gonna have you grinning. This is the kind of setup you don’t want to miss.
Saturday the 15th is the real deal. Quatro-Once (411) is looking at a 5 ft SW swell with a 16 second period, and the combined energy is strong at 1182. The water’s about 85°, a touch warmer than usual. Saturday morning the wind is glassy out of the ESE at just 3 mph, so the surface will be dead clean. This is a standout for experienced surfers – the swell is solid, the direction is right, and the point will be offering up some beautiful lines. Saturday afternoon stays glassy calm, still 4 ft and excellent.
Sunday the 16th keeps it going. 4 ft SW swell, 15 seconds, glassy in the morning. Very good. The afternoon gets a light cross-onshore breeze, but it’s still fun.
Monday the 17th is another beauty – 4 ft SW swell, glassy morning, clean afternoon. Energy jumps to 1052 that afternoon. Excellent conditions.
Tuesday the 18th holds, with 4 ft SW and clean mornings, though the afternoon gets a little bumpy. Still plenty of waves.
Wednesday the 19th stays glassy in the morning, 3 ft at 14 seconds. Afternoon stays clean. Good stuff.
The middle of the week from the 20th sees the swell drop and winds turn a bit scrappy, so things get marginal for a few days.
But look ahead to Saturday the 29th of August. Morning brings 4 ft SW swell at 17 seconds, energy of 1089, and glassy conditions. Excellent for the experienced crew. The direction is perfect for this break.
Then Sunday the 30th of August could be the best of the whole run. 5 ft SSW swell at 16 seconds, energy at 1303, glassy morning and calm afternoon. That’s a top-tier weekend.
Crowds can show up here sometimes, but with conditions this clean, it’s worth dealing with. The long period means the waves will have real push and shape on this point.
Stay stoked.

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.
