The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a solid run of surf coming in at Quatro-Once (411). It’s a consistent point break that’s exposed to the SSW swell, so when the southerly groundswell rolls in, this place really knows how to handle it. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so nothing weird there.
The pattern kicks off on Wednesday, 26th August. Early morning brings a clean 2ft SSW groundswell with a long 15-second period and glassy conditions. The energy is moderate (231). The afternoon holds similar, just a touch smaller at 2ft, and still glassy. It’s the kind of session where you can get a few fun ones without fighting the wind.
Thursday, 27th August, is more of the same: small, glassy, and clean. The swell dips to 1ft in the morning but picks up to 2ft in the afternoon, with a very long 18-second period. Energy is moderate (208 to 245). It’s small, but the quality is there for a longboard or a foiler.
Friday, 28th August, is the first real standout. The morning swell builds to 2ft with a 19-second period, and the wind is cross-off, keeping things clean. Combined energy jumps to 474. But the afternoon is the gem: 2ft, 19-second groundswell, glassy conditions, and energy hitting 586. This is the best session of the early window. The waves will have great shape, and the long gaps between sets make it easy to get back out the back.
Saturday, 29th August, sees the swell push up to 4ft to 5ft, but the wind gets messy. Morning is a light cross-onshore, and the afternoon turns onshore. The energy is high (925 to 1061), but the quality drops. Not the pick.
Sunday, 30th August, is a big one. The morning brings a 5ft SSW swell with a 14-second period, glassy, and almost 1109 in energy. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers—too big for beginners. The afternoon wind swings onshore, but the morning is a serious session.
Monday, 31st August, settles back down to 4ft with a 13-second period. The morning is clean with cross-off winds, and the afternoon is glassy. Energy is moderate (609 to 602). Good, solid surf.
Tuesday, 1st September, is a bit mixed. The morning has a cross-shore breeze, but the afternoon turns glassy. The swell is 3ft at 12 seconds, and the energy climbs to 645. It’s a fun afternoon session.
Wednesday, 2nd September, delivers again. Morning is 3ft from the SSW with a 13-second period, clean with cross-off wind. The afternoon is even better: 2ft, 17-second groundswell, and offshore wind. Energy is 694. Clean, lined-up waves.
Thursday, 3rd September, is a bit of a write-off. The swell is 4ft but the wind is onshore in the afternoon, and the energy is high (823) but the conditions are messy.
Friday, 4th September, is a standout. The morning is glassy with a 4ft, 17-second SSW groundswell and energy of 1028. This is excellent for experienced surfers. The afternoon goes onshore, but the morning is pure magic.
Saturday, 5th September, is another big one. The morning is glassy, 5ft, 16-second period, and energy of 1394. Again, for the experts. The afternoon gets a cross-onshore breeze, but the morning is premium.
Sunday, 6th September, is a good all-rounder. The swell is 5ft with a 14-second period, and the afternoon is glassy. Energy is 825 to 898. Clean, consistent waves.
Monday, 7th September, is similar: 4ft, 14-second swell, glassy morning. Energy is 706. Solid.
The final standout is Tuesday, 8th September. Morning has a 3ft, 19-second groundswell with cross-off wind and energy of 1129. The afternoon is glassy and calm. Excellent conditions for the experienced crew.
Wednesday, 9th September, morning is glassy at 5ft, 17-second period, energy of 1333. Another top-tier session for experts.
And Thursday, 10th September, wraps it up with a morning session: 5ft, 16-second swell, cross-off wind, and energy of 1708. That’s the biggest energy of the whole run. Clean and powerful.
Overall, the best on offer is Friday afternoon, 28th August, and Sunday morning, 30th August. The first is a glassy, long-period winner for everyone, and the second is a powerful, clean session for the experienced crew.
Keep an eye on Saturday, 5th and Tuesday, 8th September too. Those mornings are absolute crackers for those who know what they’re doing.
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.
