The Lowdown
Right, grab a coffee and listen up. Ol’ Rusty here with a look at the coming days for Quatro-Once (411). We’ve got a nice run of surf ahead, and the water is sitting at a toasty 85.5°, which feels a couple of notches warmer than typical for this time of year. The first few days are gentle but build into something with real punch, so don’t sleep on the middle of the window.
Tuesday morning the 21st starts us off with a clean 2.3ft of SW groundswell. It’s got some serious legs with a 15-second period, and the cross-off breeze from the ENE is doing us a favour, keeping the surface tidy. Wave energy is moderate (389) but it’s a nice, easy starter set for beginners. The afternoon gets a bit tricky with a cross shore breeze, so morning is definitely the call here.
Wednesday the 22nd is a bit of a write-off. The wind swings onshore and the quality drops right off. Not worth paddling out for. Skip it.
Thursday the 23rd morning is a gem. Glassy conditions, a clean 2.3ft of SW swell with a 12-second period. This is a classic, small but perfect little window for a log or a funboard. The afternoon sees a weird spike in period to 26 seconds, but the swell height drops to 1.3ft. That long period will be tricky on the point, but if you find a river mouth or reef break, you might snag a weird, slow runner. But honestly, stick to the morning.
Now, from Friday the 24th we start getting interesting. Friday morning is glassy, zero wind, and a 2.3ft SW swell with a 24-second period. The energy jumps to a solid 761 (moderate). That’s a proper groundswell, and clean as a whistle.
Saturday the 25th morning is another standout. Glassy NE breeze, 3.0ft of SW swell at a 21-second period. It’s clean, it’s punchy for its size, and the energy is up at 739. This is a lovely point break session for all levels.
Sunday the 26th is where it starts to step up. The morning sees a clean 3.3ft of SW swell, cross-off wind, and the energy is climbing into strong territory at 926. The afternoon gets excellent: 3.9ft of SW swell, 18-second period, cross-off breeze, and energy hitting 1146 – that is strong, and experienced surfers are going to be smiling.
Monday the 27th morning is the first real dose of size for the confident crew. 4.3ft of SW groundswell, 16-second period, glassy conditions, and energy at 1256. That is a proper, powerful swell for the point. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so expect company if it looks this good.
Tuesday the 28th is the peak of the run. Morning has a clean 5.2ft of SW swell, offshore NNE wind, and energy blasting up to 1588. That’s very strong. The afternoon is even glassier with zero wind and the same 5.2ft. This is expert territory, big, clean, and powerful. Love it.
Wednesday the 29th holds the same 5.2ft of swell with a solid 16-second period. Morning has a gentle offshore wind, keeping it clean. Afternoon is glassy again. Energy is still very strong (1219-1275). If you missed Tuesday, this is your second chance at a serious, proper session.
From Thursday the 30th the swell starts to slowly wind down, but it’s still fun. Good clean 4.9ft surf in the morning. By Friday the 31st, the afternoon turns glassy again with 4.6ft of swell. The first week of August sees the size drop back to that 2.3ft to 3.0ft range with cleaner offshore winds on a few mornings, so a solid, mellow finish to the run.
If I had to pick the absolute best window, it’s from the morning of Monday the 27th through to Wednesday the 29th. That’s when the swell is big, the wind is either glass or off, and the point is pumping. Mark it in the calendar.

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.
