The Lowdown
Yo, what’s up crew, Rusty here with a look at what’s coming down the line for Quatro-Once (411). This is a solid point break that’s gonna have some fun stuff on offer through the next couple of weeks. The water’s sitting at a warm 86°F with an anomaly of 3°F which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s feeling a little more tropical out there.
First up, Wednesday morning the 22nd, we’ve got small 2ft swell out of the SW, 13-second period, but the energy is weak (285) and there’s a risk of thunderstorms with a light onshore breeze – not the best start. We’ve got a bit of a lull through Wednesday afternoon into Thursday morning, but Thursday morning the 23rd shows some signs of life: a 2ft swell from the SW, period at 12 seconds, and the wind switches to a light cross-off from the NE, so the surf looks clean with moderate energy (310). It’s small, but the conditions are right.
The real standout for the first week is shaping up for Friday morning, the 24th of July. Swell bumps to 2ft from the SW, but the period jumps to a very long 24 seconds – that's proper groundswell energy, and combined energy hits 964 (moderate). The wind goes glassy from the NW, making for clean, glassy conditions. This is a point break, so that long period will wrap in nicely, giving you long, clean lines with easy paddling between sets. Great for beginners, too, since it’s not big. Crowds are sometimes there, so be ready for some company.
Saturday the 25th through Sunday the 26th keeps the fun going – Saturday morning has 3ft SW swell at 21 seconds, offshore wind from the NE, and energy at 858. Then Sunday afternoon the 26th jumps up to 4ft SW at 18 seconds, energy cranking up to 1130 (moderate), and it’s clean. That Sunday afternoon is really clean and a strong session for those who know the break.
The middle of the week from Monday the 27th sees the swell pick up – Monday morning hits 4ft SW at 16 seconds with 1236 energy, but it’s a bit cross-onshore and could be tricky. Monday afternoon cleans up with cross-off wind, so it’s excellent for experienced surfers.
Then Tuesday the 28th and Wednesday the 29th are the big ones for the bigger wave crew. Tuesday morning the 28th has 5ft SW swell, 18-second period, glassy conditions, and combined energy at 1539 (moderate-strong). That’s a solid groundswell and it’s clean as a whistle. This one’s for the experienced – at 5ft and that long period, it’ll have some push and the sets will be well-spaced. Wednesday morning the 29th is the same size: 5ft SW at 16 seconds, glassy with 1274 energy. Both these days are the standout for bigger surf. Crowds are possible at times, so get out early.
After that, the swell starts to back off a bit through the rest of the week and into August, but we keep consistent small waves. Thursday morning the 30th has 5ft SW at 14 seconds, glassy, good for a fun session. Friday morning the 31st drops to 4ft SSW at 13 seconds, still glassy, and the first week of August sees 3ft to 3ft SW/SSW groundswell at 12-13 seconds, clean or glassy conditions most days. The energy stays in the mid-200s to low-300s – moderate – so not a lot of punch but still plenty of fun on the longboard or a fish.
No huge gaps – there are small swell days all the way through, so you won't be left high and dry. Just keep an eye on the thunderstorms; they roll through a lot. Overall, the first week (especially Friday 24th, Sunday 26th, and Tuesday/Wednesday 28-29th) is your best bet for clean, quality waves. The second week is more consistent small stuff – nothing to drive hours for, but if you’re local, you’ll get a wave.
Stay stoked.
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.
