The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s shaping up for our region.
We’ve got a decent run of surf ahead, but it’s a slow starter. The first couple of days are pretty ordinary, so don’t rush out just yet. The real action starts to build mid-week and then we’ve got some absolute gems towards the end of the first week and into the second.
The standout break is Quatro-Once (411). This is a consistent point break that’s exposed to the SSW swell. The water is sitting at 84.6° which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be comfortable in a spring suit or even boardshorts.
Tuesday, August 4th is a write-off. The swell is only 3.0 ft from the SSW, but the wind is cross-on and there’s risk of thunderstorms. The energy is weak (282), and the wave comment says it’s marginal. Don’t bother.
Wednesday, August 5th is still small at 3.0 ft, but the wind goes cross-off in the morning from the ENE at 3 mph, cleaning things up. The energy drops to 155, so it’s weak, but it’s surfable. Afternoon sees a bit more wind. It’s still ordinary.
Thursday, August 6th is where the pulse kicks in. The morning shows 2.3 ft but the period jumps to 14 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell. The energy is moderate (287), and with a light cross-off breeze from the east at 6 mph, it’s clean. The wave comment says “expect good surf conditions.” This is the first real window.
Friday, August 7th is a standout. The morning brings 3.6 ft from the SW, period 13 seconds, a clean offshore wind from the NE at 3 mph, and the energy jumps to a strong 648. The wave comment says “expect very good surf conditions.” The afternoon is even better with 3.0 ft and a very long period of 17 seconds, energy at 710, and still clean. This is a solid day.
Saturday, August 8th is another cracker. Morning: 3.6 ft from the SW, period 16 seconds, clean offshore NE wind at 6 mph, energy 782. That’s a lot of power. The afternoon goes glassy with 4.3 ft from the SSW, period 15 seconds, and energy still very high at 780. The wave comment says “expect very good surf conditions.” This is one of the best windows.
Sunday, August 9th keeps the good run going. The morning has 3.9 ft from the SSW, period 14 seconds, glassy conditions with a light ENE breeze, and energy at 607. Afternoon stays glassy with 3.6 ft from the SW. Both sessions are clean and fun.
Monday, August 10th is a step down but still good. Swell drops to 3.0 ft, period 13 seconds, cross-off wind, energy around 380. “Expect good surf conditions.”
Tuesday, August 11th is the absolute best of the entire forecast. The morning is good with 3.3 ft, offshore wind, and energy at 606. But the afternoon is where it’s at: 3.0 ft from the SW, an incredible 18-second period, glassy conditions, and the energy hits a massive 1003. The wave comment says “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers.” That’s a very long period groundswell and it’s going to be clean as a whistle. The point break will handle that period beautifully.
Wednesday, August 12th holds well. Morning sees 3.0 ft from the SSW, period 16 seconds, offshore wind, energy 608. Afternoon goes to 3.6 ft from the SW, period 16 seconds, energy 598, with a light cross-off breeze. Both are very good.
Thursday, August 13th is smaller again. The swell drops to 2.0 ft, but the period is still long (14-18 seconds

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.
