The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here from the Quatro-Once (411) point. Looking at the next couple of weeks, there’s a solid run of South-West groundswell on the cards, but we’ve got a few quiet days before the fun starts.
The first real action is Monday morning, August 31st. We’re looking at a 4ft SW swell with a 13-second period, and the water temp is about average for the time of year. The wind is glassy and light from the SSW, so the waves are clean. The combined energy is 508, which is moderate. This is a top session for a beginner; the point break will handle the long-period groundswell nicely.
The rest of the first week has some good windows. Tuesday afternoon, September 1st, turns glassy again with a north wind, but the swell is still 4ft. Wednesday morning, September 2nd, is a standout: 3ft SW swell, 13-second period, glassy ESE wind, and the energy is up to 600. That’s a solid moderate.
The real highlight is the morning of Sunday, September 6th. The swell bumps to 5ft from the SW with a 15-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 1014 – that’s strong energy. The wind is glassy from the SSE. This is excellent for experienced surfers, but at 5ft, it’s too big for beginners. The long period will make the sets powerful and the point will hold it, but the gaps between sets will be longer.
Saturday the 5th of September is a mess – cross-onshore wind and 6ft swell, which is expert-only and choppy. Monday the 7th of September morning looks clean again with a 4ft SW swell and cross-off wind, but the energy is a bit lower.
The second week is smaller. The best bet is Thursday, September 10th morning. That’s a 4ft SW swell with a 15-second period, glassy S wind, and combined energy of 1141 – strong. This one is for the experienced crew due to the power.
After that, the swell drops to 3ft to 4ft, with some glassy mornings on the 12th and 14th of September. It’s still fun for a longboard but not the kind of thing you’d plan a trip around.
Remember, this is a point break, so that long-period SW groundswell will wrap in well, but when the period hits 15-17 seconds, it can wall up. When the wind is glassy, it’s as good as it gets.
Rusty.

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.
