The Lowdown
Alright, buddy, let’s see what the ocean’s giving us. Quatro-Once (411) is a consistent point break that picks up the SW swell. Water’s sitting at about 85°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might not even need a wetsuit.
The best session of the whole run is Tuesday afternoon, July 28th. You’ve got a solid 5ft SW swell rolling in with a long 17-second period — lots of energy, reading 1573 on the combined scale. Wind is cross-off from the east at 9 mph, keeping it reasonably clean. This is excellent surf, but it’s for experienced surfers only; the size and power are no joke. Crowds can show up sometimes here.
Wednesday morning, July 29th, is another beauty. The swell stays at 5ft from the southwest, with a 16-second period. The wind goes offshore from the north-northeast at just 6 mph, giving you clean, smooth waves. The energy is still very strong at 1266. Wednesday afternoon holds up well too, with a light breeze keeping things tidy.
Thursday morning, July 30th, the swell drops a touch to 5ft, but the period is still long at 14 seconds. The wind goes glassy from the east at 3 mph — perfect conditions for a point break. The energy is moderate at 777. This is a top morning for clean, fun waves. Skip the afternoon as the wind turns onshore.
Friday morning, July 31st, you’ve got 4ft of swell with glassy conditions and a 13-second period — clean and surfable, especially for better surfers. The energy is moderate at 524. Friday afternoon gets blown out, so don’t bother.
Saturday, August 1st, starts glassy with 4ft waves, but the afternoon turns messy. Sunday, August 2nd, the swell drops below 3ft and conditions get marginal. There’s a bit of a lull through to midweek, with waves hanging around 2ft to 3ft. Early mornings on Monday, August 3rd, and Tuesday, August 4th, are glassy but weak.
Then things pick up again around Friday, August 7th. Friday morning has a small 2ft SSW swell but with a very long 18-second period and glassy conditions — worth a paddle for the clean lines. The energy is moderate at 432. Friday afternoon builds to 3ft with a 17-second period and glassy wind — very clean, and the energy jumps to 633.
Saturday, August 8th, is the other big standout. Saturday afternoon delivers 4ft of SSW swell with a 15-second period and glassy wind. The energy is strong at 812. This is going to be a clean, solid session for experienced surfers. The morning is a little cross-on, so wait for the afternoon.
Sunday, August 9th, stays good with a 4ft SSW swell and offshore wind from the northeast at 6 mph — clean and punchy.
Into the second week, conditions settle into smaller, cleaner waves in the 3ft to 3ft range through to Wednesday, August 12th. Nothing huge, but with light offshore or glassy winds, there’ll always be something to ride.

Information about the Quatro-Once (411) Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Quatro-Once (411) provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Quatro-Once (411) can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Quatro-Once (411) surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Quatro-Once (411)) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
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.
