The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it. The next couple of weeks are a mixed bag, but we got some real windows to score.
The overall vibe is a push of clean, powerful swell early on, then it fades out into smaller, weaker stuff later. The energy's got some punch at times, so it's all about picking your moments.
Early Week (Tuesday and Wednesday)
Kicking off Tuesday morning at `Quatro-Once (411)`, we got 4ft of SW swell rolling in with a 12-second period. Not huge, but the wind is light and cross-offshore, keeping it clean. Water temp is about what you'd expect for this time of year. The energy's moderate, reading 440, and it feels like it's got some push. The afternoon gets more cross-on with a bit of breeze, so the morning's the call.
Wednesday morning is a similar story, with 3ft of SW swell and a longer 13-second period. Energy bumps to 595, a touch juicier, and with that light E wind holding it clean, it should be a fun one for a beginner-friendly point. Afternoons look weaker and more onshore, so morning sessions are the go.
Midweek to Friday
Thursday morning brings a slight drop to 3ft, but it's a bit cross-on and the conditions aren't as crisp. Energy's rising though, hitting 791, so there's some grunt. It's a bit more work to find a clean one. Friday morning is where it gets proper. The swell bumps back to 4ft with a solid 17-second period, and the wind goes glassy. Energy jumps to 1128, which is strong, and the forecast is excellent for experienced surfers. This is a standout session—a proper long-period groundswell hitting a point with clean conditions. Save your energy for this one.
Friday afternoon looks more challenging as the swell rises to 5ft and the wind turns onshore. Not a washout, but it won't have that magic.
The Weekend
Saturday morning we got the biggest swell of the stretch, at 5ft with a 16-second period, and again, glassy wind. Another top-tier pick. Energy is peaking at 1352, strong, and conditions are clean. This will be a proper, powerful point wave with serious push. Still in the experienced range, but for those who know, it'll be firing. The afternoon goes cross-on and windy, turning messy.
Sunday looks like a come-down, with swell dropping to 5ft but the wind cross-on and energy fading to 979. Not bad, but not as clean as the previous days. The magic from Friday and Saturday mornings is gone.
Next Week and Beyond
Heading into the new week, the swell shrinks. Monday the 7th has 4ft of SW swell with a 14-second period, and offshore light wind. Still rideable and clean, but the energy drops to the 755 range. Tuesday the 8th is smaller at 3ft, but the period stretches to a very long 18 seconds and it's glassy. Energy is moderate at 738, but the lack of size means smaller, more technical waves.
From Wednesday the 9th through the weekend, we're seeing a real drop-off. Swell heights hover around 3ft to 5ft, but periods are shorter and conditions are often cross-on or onshore. Energy levels are all over the place, from 824 to 1057, but the wind just won't cooperate. It's going to be hard to find a clean, well-shaped wave. The better windows are Thursday morning (10th) with 4ft and light wind, but it's onshore.
The Long Range
The second week from the 11th onward is looking sluggish. Swell sizes drop to around 3ft to 4ft, with periods between 13 and 17 seconds. Energy is mostly weak to moderate, with a few bumps. Tuesday the 15th has a glassy start with 2ft swell and 17-second period, could be fun for a longboard, but the afternoon turns poor. By the 16th, it's similar: small, glassy in the morning at 3ft, but nothing with any punch.
Overall, the standout sessions are clearly Friday morning (4th) and Saturday morning (5th). Both have that combo of solid SW swell, long period, and glassy conditions that makes the point at Quatro-Once really sing. Get on it early, because that window closes fast.
