Quatro-Once (411) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a solid run of surf coming up, starting with a nice pulse on Tuesday morning. The water is sitting at 85°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can leave the wetsuit at home.

Tuesday (14 July) morning we’re looking at a clean 3ft SSW swell with a 14-second period. That’s groundswell, bringing some proper energy (475) and the NNE breeze is offshore, keeping things tidy. It’s a good one for the beginners to get out there, but don’t expect to have it empty – crowds are possible.

Wednesday (15 July) morning is the real standout. The swell bumps up to 4ft from the SSW, period still 14 seconds, and the wind is glassy out of the east. That’s as good as it gets. Combined energy hits 600, so you’ll feel the push. This is the session to circle.

Thursday (16 July) stays clean with a 4ft SSW swell, glassy conditions in the morning, and the afternoon holds up too. Good stuff.

Friday (17 July) morning is another cracker – 4ft, 14 seconds, offshore NNE breeze, clean as a whistle. The energy is up there (530).

Saturday (18 July) morning – 4ft SSW swell, dead calm, glassy. This is the biggest of the run so far, still well within fun size for everyone. Energy is 640, so it’s got some grunt.

Sunday through Monday (19-20 July) stays in the 3ft to 4ft range, mostly glassy mornings, but there’s a risk of thunderstorms around. Still plenty of fun waves.

Tuesday (21 July) we see a drop to 2-2ft from the SW, period stretching to 15 seconds. That’s a long-period groundswell, but the size is small, and the wind goes cross-onshore, so it’s a bit of a lull.

Wednesday (22 July) is tiny – 2ft – but with offshore winds, it’s still rideable for a log.

Thursday (23 July) morning throws a curveball: 4ft from the SSW, but the period is a short 7 seconds. That’s windswell, not groundswell. It’s glassy, so it’ll be clean, but the waves will be weaker and more crumbly. Energy is only 234.

Friday (24 July) morning is tiny again (1ft), but hold onto your hat – the period is 24 seconds. That’s a very long period groundswell, but the size is so small it’s barely breaking. Energy is 321, so there’s deep water energy, but it won’t translate to much at the beach. This is one for the reefs and points, not the beach.

Saturday (25 July) morning – 2ft, 21 seconds, glassy, energy 610. That’s a lot of energy for a small wave. It’ll be clean, but you’ll be waiting for the sets. A point break would be the call here.

Sunday (26 July) morning – 3ft, 19 seconds, offshore NNE, clean. Energy is 595. This is a nice end-of-week prospect.

Monday (27 July) – 3ft, 18 seconds, offshore NNE, glassy in the afternoon. Energy hits 702. That’s the strongest energy of the whole forecast. The sets will be long, but the waves will be well shaped and hollow on the right break.

Tuesday (28 July) morning – 3ft, 17 seconds, glassy, energy 643. Another beauty.

Wednesday (29 July) afternoon – 3ft, 16 seconds, glassy NE wind, energy 617. A solid way to finish the run.

Overall, the best sessions are Wednesday 15th morning, Saturday 18th morning, and Monday 27th for the biggest energy. Keep your eyes on that glassy, offshore windows.

Signing off, Rusty.
