The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let's get into what's happening with this spot.
The water is sitting at 85°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so it's nice and warm.
We've got a good run of surf coming through. The absolute standout is going to be Friday the 4th of September at Quatro-Once (411). The morning is glassy with a light offshore breeze, serving up 4ft of clean SW groundswell. The wave energy is strong at (1072). And then the afternoon gets even better – glassy again with 5ft of SW swell, and the energy jumps up to (1382). That's the session to circle: excellent conditions for experienced surfers on a point break that will love that long-period SW swell. It's too big for beginners, so only head out if you've got the skills.
Before that, Tuesday morning (1st September) is a good warm-up: glassy conditions with 4ft of SW swell and moderate energy (440). Wednesday morning (2nd September) looks very good too – clean 3ft SW swell with an offshore breeze, a 13-second period, and building energy (595). Thursday is a bit more marginal with smaller waves and cross-shore wind.
After Friday's peak, Saturday morning (5th September) hits 6ft but it's got cross-onshore wind making it messy. That's expert territory only. Then Sunday morning (6th September) comes back well: glassy 5ft SW swell with good energy (977) – a very good session.
Into the second week, there's consistent, smaller surf with plenty of clean windows. Monday the 7th, Tuesday the 8th, and Thursday the 10th all have very good morning sessions with 4ft to 5ft SW swells and light winds. The best of that week looks like Friday the 11th of September morning – glassy 4ft SW swell and good energy (859), really clean conditions. After that, the energy drops off but there are still fun, clean waves through to the 16th, just smaller.
Overall, it's a strong run. Friday the 4th is the one to aim for, with Sunday the 6th and Friday the 11th as excellent back-ups.
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.
