Quatro-Once (411) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a solid run of surf on the cards at Quatro-Once. The first couple of weeks are looking the pick of the bunch, with a nice mix of clean conditions and punchy SW groundswell.

Sunday morning (6 September) kicks things off in style. The water’s a touch warmer than normal at 84°, so it’s a bit of a treat. We’ve got a 5ft SW swell rolling in with a 15-second period, which means plenty of energy and long, lined-up waves. The combined energy is moderate at 969, so there’s some push behind it. And the wind? Glassy. Absolutely dead calm. That’s a rare treat. Quatro-Once is a point break that loves a SSW swell, so this is a standout session for sure. It’s a beginner-friendly wave, so perfect for getting out there, but it can get a few people on it sometimes, so pick your peak.

Monday morning (7 September) keeps the good vibes going with another glassy morning and a 4ft SW swell, still with a nice 14-second period. The energy is still moderate at 794. Conditions are clean and inviting.

Tuesday morning (8 September) is another cracker. A 4ft SW swell, 13-second period, and a light offshore NNE breeze at 6 mph. That offshore wind will keep the faces smooth and clean. Moderate energy at 834.

Thursday (10 September) is one of the best windows. Both morning and afternoon see glassy conditions with a 4ft SW swell, 15-second period, and moderate energy around 936 and 870. That’s as good as it gets.

Friday morning (11 September) sees a little bump in size to 4ft SW, still with a 16-second period, but a slight cross-onshore wind from the SSE makes it a bit less perfect. Still plenty of energy at 835.

The following week tapers off a bit in size but keeps delivering clean conditions. Tuesday morning (15 September) sees a 3ft SW swell with a long 18-second period and glassy conditions, so the sets will be well-spaced and powerful. Wednesday morning (16 September) is another standout: a 4ft SW swell, 16-second period, and a light cross-offshore breeze from the ENE. That’s clean and lined up. The energy is moderate at 708.

By the second week, from the 17th onward, the swell drops off more noticeably. Thursday morning (17 September) still has a 3ft SW swell with a 14-second period and glassy conditions, but the combined energy is down to 508. Friday (18 September) sees the swell drop to 2ft, and the wind swings onshore, making it messy. The energy is weak at 373.

From the 19th onward, it gets small and inconsistent. There’s a bit of a lull, with mostly 2ft to 2ft SW swells. The 20th (Sunday morning) brings a glassy 2ft SW swell with a 19-second period, which is promising for a long-period groundswell, but the energy is weak at 400. It’s a bit of a waiting game, but the clean conditions on that morning might still offer a few clean lines if you’re patient.

Overall, the standout sessions are the glassy mornings of Sunday 6 September, Thursday 10 September, and the clean, cross-offshore morning of Wednesday 16 September. These are the ones to circle on the calendar.

Rusty.
