The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s cookin’ for the next couple weeks.
The first real action kicks off Monday morning, July 27th, and it’s a slow start. We’ve got a solid, long-period groundswell from the SW, carrying a ton of energy – 1232 combined energy. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 84°, which is a nice bonus. The standout early session is Monday morning at Quatro-Once (411). This point break is consistent and exposed, so it’s grabbing all that SW juice. The swell is 4ft, but the period is a very long 16 seconds, meaning deep, powerful lines. The wind is glassy, dead calm, so expect clean, peeling waves. This is more for experienced surfers, as the size and power will keep it interesting. The afternoon holds the same quality, with glassy conditions and 4ft swell.
Tuesday, July 28th, sees the swell bump up to 5ft from the SW, with a period stretching to 18 seconds. The morning is looking clean with a light cross-offshore breeze from the east. The energy is pumping at 1540. This is the best on offer for the first week. The afternoon gets a bit messy with onshore wind, so stick to the morning.
Wednesday, July 29th, is another cracker of a morning. Back to glassy conditions, with a 5ft SW swell and a 16-second period. The energy is still strong at 1266. The point will be reeling off. Afternoon gets a bit choppy with onshore wind again.
Thursday, July 30th, the swell starts to dip slightly to 5ft, but the period is still a solid 14 seconds. The morning is dead calm, glassy, with energy at 770. It’s clean but the swell is starting to ease. Friday, July 31st, the trend continues down with a 4ft SW swell, 13-second period, and glassy morning conditions. The energy is dropping to 524.
We then hit a bit of a lull. Saturday, August 1st, sees the swell drop to 3ft, and Sunday, August 2nd, down to 3ft. The mornings are glassy, but the waves are getting small. This hangover lasts through the start of the next week, with Monday, August 3rd, offering 3ft and Tuesday, August 4th, dropping to 2ft. The conditions are ordinary, and the energy is weak.
Now, for the long-range promise. The second week looks to pick up again. Starting Friday, August 7th, we see a pulse of new SW groundswell. Friday afternoon is the standout: offshore winds from the NNE are glassy, swell is 3ft, but the period is a very long 18 seconds, and the energy jumps back up to 753. This is a promising session for the point break. Saturday, August 8th, offers more of the same with 3ft SSW swell, 16-second period, and glassy conditions. The trend holds into Sunday, August 9th, with a 3ft SSW swell and a dead calm morning. The best of the long-range looks to be that Friday afternoon and Saturday, with clean, long-period groundswell. It’s a bit further out, so keep an eye on it, but it’s got some real potential.
Signing off, Rusty.

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.
