Quatro-Once (411) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into what’s shaping up for the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got one spot on the radar, and it’s looking like a solid run of waves for the most part, especially for those who like a clean, consistent point break. The water is sitting at 85.5°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can leave the thick rubber at home.

It kicks off this Saturday morning, 18 July, with a nice 3.9 ft swell from the SSW and that classic 13-second groundswell period. The wind is glass – dead calm – so the surface will be like a mirror. There’s moderate wave energy (572) pushing through, and it’s going to be a very clean, fun morning. The crowd might be around, but on a point break like this, it’s usually manageable.

Saturday afternoon keeps the same 3.9 ft size, still glassy, with a touch less energy (515). Solid.

Sunday, 19 July drops a little to 3.3 ft in the morning and 3.0 ft in the afternoon, but the wind stays glassy. The swell is still from the SSW at 12 seconds, so you’ll get some nice, lined-up waves. Good for a longboard or a fun mid-length.

Monday, 20 July brings a bit more juice in the morning – 4.9 ft from the SSW – but watch the period, it’s shortened to 8 seconds. More chop, less grunt, but still glassy conditions. The energy is moderate (602). The afternoon drops back to 3.0 ft with a cleaner 12-second period.

Now, Tuesday, 21 July has a mixed bag. Morning is a small 2.3 ft from the SW with a very long 15-second period, which is groundswell gold. That long period means the waves will have plenty of push and shape, but the gaps between sets will be longer. The afternoon jumps to 4.6 ft with a short 7-second period, which is a bit messy, but still glassy.

Wednesday, 22 July is a bit of a down day. Morning is 2.0 ft and clean, but those afternoon winds go cross-onshore, making it choppy. The energy drops to 285. It’s a “marginal” call for the afternoon.

Thursday, 23 July is even smaller and wind-affected. 2.3 ft in the morning with onshore wind, and the afternoon is a tiny 1.3 ft with a long period, but the wind is cross-onshore. Not worth paddling out.

Friday, 24 July is a nice surprise. Morning is 2.6 ft from the SSW with a very long 24-second period. That’s proper groundswell, and it’s glassy. The energy is strong (963). This will be a clean, slow, powerful point break session. The afternoon is 2.0 ft but still glassy.

Saturday, 25 July – morning is 3.0 ft from the SW with a 21-second period, clean cross-off wind. The afternoon is 3.0 ft with 20-second period and zero wind – dead flat calm, glassy. The energy is moderate to strong (678). This is a standout for clean waves.

Sunday, 26 July – morning is 3.3 ft from the SW at 19 seconds, glassy. The afternoon pushes to 3.9 ft at 18 seconds, but the wind goes onshore, making it messy. The morning is the one to hit.

Monday, 27 July – morning is 3.3 ft from the SW at 19 seconds, and the wind is zero – glassy. The energy is very strong (1410). This is excellent for experienced surfers. The afternoon is 3.9 ft but with onshore wind, so morning is the winner.

Tuesday, 28 July – morning is 5.6 ft from the SW at 17 seconds, with clean cross-off wind. The energy is very strong (1778). That’s a serious swell. It’s in the “excellent for experienced surfers
