Quatro-Once (411) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got one spot that’s really going to be the story for this whole forecast period: Quatro-Once (411). This is a consistent point break that’s exposed to the SSW swell, and it’s setup for beginners. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing weird there.

The first recommended surf kicks off on Thursday morning, the 3rd of September. We’re looking at a 2ft SW groundswell with a long 16-second period, and it’s glassy. The combined energy is moderate at 744. That’s a real nice clean start to the run.

Thursday afternoon gets a bit messy with a light cross-onshore wind, so I’d stick to the morning session.

Friday the 4th has a bit of a mixed bag. The morning shows a bit of cross-shore wind, but the afternoon cleans right up. Friday afternoon is the standout for the first few days: 5ft of SW swell, 17-second period, glassy. The combined energy is strong at 1348. That’s excellent surf, but with that size, it’s more for the experienced crew.

Saturday the 5th keeps the good run going. Both morning and afternoon are glassy with 6ft and 5ft SW swell respectively. The morning has even stronger energy at 1592. This is the best of the entire forecast. That 6ft is going to be a proper challenge for beginners, though.

Sunday the 6th morning is still glassy with a 5ft SW swell, but the energy drops a bit. The afternoon turns onshore, so that’s your cut-off.

From Monday the 7th through to the middle of the week, we get clean cross-offshore winds and smaller, manageable waves in the 3ft to 4ft range. Good for the beginners again.

The 8th of September Tuesday morning is especially nice: glassy, 3ft, and an 18-second period, with moderate energy (738). That long period will make for some nice lined-up waves on this point.

There’s a bit of a lull from the 12th of September onwards. The swell drops right off and the conditions get messier. We’ve got a gap of a few days where the quality is just not there.

Then, hold on. On the 17th of September, Thursday morning, things get interesting again. We see a 2ft swell with a *very* long 24-second period, glassy. The combined energy is moderate at 709. That’s a long-period groundswell, and it’s going to be super clean, but it’ll be a bit slow between sets. That’s a promising one for the point break.

The 18th of September Friday morning is also glassy with a 21-second period, 2ft, and moderate energy (674). Another clean, long-period session.

The absolute standout here is Saturday the 5th of September, both morning and afternoon. That’s the biggest swell, glassy, and the energy is strong. It’s a bit big for beginners, but for anyone with some experience, that’s the session to point for.

Rusty.
