Quatro-Once (411) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a nice consistent window of clean, rideable surf kicking off right away, so no waiting around this time.

We’re looking at a solid run of surf at Quatro-Once (411). The water is sitting at 84°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a nice little bonus when you’re sitting out there.

Things get going on Monday morning, September 14th with a tiny but clean 1ft SW groundswell at 19 seconds. It’s glassy with barely a breath of wind, and the combined energy is 287 – weak energy, so don’t expect much push, but it’s a sign of good things to come. The morning is the pick, as the afternoon stays glassy with a slightly bigger 2ft.

Tuesday the 15th is where it starts to get interesting. The morning sees 2ft SW, but the real standout is Tuesday afternoon. We get a bump to 3ft SW with a 18-second period, clean offshore wind from the NNE at 15 km/h, and combined energy jumping to 708 (moderate energy). That’s the kind of setup that’ll have points running nicely.

Wednesday the 16th keeps the good times rolling. A moderate offshore NE breeze at 20 km/h cleans up a 4ft SW swell (16-second period) in the morning, energy at 704. The afternoon is similar but a touch smaller at 3ft. Both sessions are very clean.

By Thursday the 17th, we get a glassy morning with 3ft SW and a 14-second period. Energy is at 558 – still moderate. The afternoon turns onshore, so make the most of that morning window.

Friday the 18th starts off glassy again with 3ft SW, but the afternoon gets messy with light cross-onshore wind. The weekend sees a mix: Saturday the 19th has a dead-calm glassy morning with 3ft SW, but the afternoon goes poor. Sunday the 20th is the next true standout. The morning is glassy with a 3ft SW swell at a very long 19 seconds. Combined energy is 636 (moderate). This is a prime window – that long period will groom the waves beautifully at this point.

Moving into the second week, the windows get narrower. Monday the 21st has onshore wind and marginal conditions. Tuesday the 22nd is a good shout – a glassy morning with 3ft SW (16 seconds) and moderate energy at 560, and the afternoon stays glassy with 3ft. Wednesday the 23rd has a clean, light offshore in the morning but turns cross-shore later.

From Thursday the 24th onward, things get chunky and messy. The afternoon sees a 5ft SW swell but with a short, weak 7-second period and onshore wind – poor quality. The whole weekend of the 25th and 26th is blown out and choppy, with swells dropping off. The last few days of the month are all cross-onshore and poor, with energy dropping back into weak values.

Best on offer: Tuesday afternoon the 15th and Sunday morning the 20th are the clear standouts. Both deliver clean glassy or offshore conditions with moderate energy and long-period SW groundswell. If you’re picking one, go for Sunday the 20th – a glassy start with that 19-second period, moderate energy, and a point break setup that will just groove.

Stay stoked,
Rusty
