Quatro-Once (411) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty again, but I’ll switch to feet and knots for you landlubbers who think in those numbers.

We’ve got a solid run of surf coming up, starting right now. 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.

The pick of the bunch, and the one I’ll be watching, is Quatro-Once (411). It’s a point break that’s consistent and exposed to the SSW swell. The best window kicks off on Monday the 10th. The swell is a clean 3ft from the SSW, with a proper 13-second period. That’s a nice groundswell, and with a gentle offshore breeze from the NNE, it’s going to be clean. The combined energy is moderate (536), so there’s a decent push behind it. This is a beginner-friendly spot, but on Monday morning, it’s looking like very good surf for anyone.

Monday afternoon holds up with the same 3ft SSW swell, and the wind stays light offshore. Tuesday morning is still clean with 3ft SW swell and a 14-second period. The wind is a slight offshore, keeping it tidy.

Wednesday the 12th is a real standout. The swell holds at 3ft from the SSW, but the wind goes glassy. That’s the kind of morning you wake up early for. The wave energy is moderate (574), and it’s going to be smooth. Thursday the 13th drops a little to 2ft, but it’s still clean with a cross-offshore breeze.

Then on Friday the 14th, we get a bump. The swell pushes up to 4ft from the SW with a very long 18-second period. That’s a proper groundswell. The morning is glassy, and the energy is strong (851). For a point break, that long period is gold, and it should line up beautifully. Saturday morning the 15th sees the swell peak at 4ft from the SW, 16-second period. The energy is strong (1136), but the wind is onshore in the morning. The afternoon swings cross-offshore, so keep an eye on that.

The run continues into the second week. Sunday the 16th morning is glassy with 4ft SW swell. Monday the 17th is a dead calm, glassy morning with 4ft SW swell. Tuesday the 18th is clean with a cross-offshore breeze. Wednesday the 19th morning is glassy again with 3ft SW swell. The pattern holds through to the end of the window, with smaller but still rideable 2ft to 3ft SW swell, often with glassy or clean conditions. The point breaks it nicely, so even the smaller days will have shape.

Crowds at Quatro-Once can happen sometimes, but with this consistent run of good conditions, expect some company on the best days. The standout is Friday the 14th and Wednesday the 12th – those are the ones to circle.

Rusty.
