Quatro-Once (411) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got cooking for the next couple of weeks.

We’re looking at a pretty sweet run of surf, especially for the first week and a half. The overall pattern is a consistent, solid SSW groundswell hanging in there for days, with plenty of clean conditions to go with it. Water temps are sitting at 85.3°, which is a touch warmer than what you’d normally expect for this time of year, so you might not even need a spring suit.

The standout session of the whole outlook, no question, is Sunday 12 July morning at Quatro-Once (411). We’ve got a clean 4.3ft SSW groundswell with a 14-second period, and it’s glassy – dead calm, not a breath of wind. That’s about as good as it gets. The combined swell energy is a solid (717), so there’s plenty of push behind those waves. This is the one to circle on the calendar.

The run keeps going strong through Monday 13 July and into Tuesday 14 July, with consistent 3.3ft to 3.6ft SSW swell, clean cross-offshore winds, and that same long-period energy. It’s not as big as Sunday, but the quality is still top-notch. Tuesday morning has a nice offshore wind (15 km/h from the NNE), keeping the faces clean and lined up.

Wednesday 15 July morning is another glassy gem with 3.9ft SSW swell and (600) energy – real smooth conditions. Just watch the afternoon on Wednesday, it swings cross-onshore and gets a bit bumpy.

Thursday 16 July and Friday 17 July are both looking good again in the mornings, with glassy or clean conditions and chest-to-head-high sets. Saturday 18 July is an absolute stunner – dead calm, glassy all day, with a steady 3.9ft SSW swell. That’s a full day of fun.

By Sunday 19 July, the size eases slightly to 3.3-3.6ft, still clean, but the energy drops a bit (455-451). Still a good day out.

We hit a bit of a lull from Monday 20 July through to Wednesday 23 July. The swell drops to 2.0-3.0ft, and while there are still some glassy moments, the power just isn’t there. Wednesday 22 July morning has a short 7-second period, so it’s a bit weak and crumbly.

Thursday 24 July is a write-off for the morning with moderate rain and cross-shore wind; the afternoon goes glassy again but the swell is only 3.6ft with a short 7-second period. Not the best quality.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting for the longer range. Hold onto your board: Saturday 25 July morning sees a new, very long-period groundswell (21 seconds!) arriving from the SW, but the size is only 1.6ft. The energy is moderate (408), so there’s more pulse than height. The offshore wind from the NE will keep things pretty clean.

Sunday 26 July morning is another one to keep an eye on. The same long-period SW groundswell is still pulsing, with a 19-second period, 2.0ft height, and a clean offshore wind (10 km/h from the NNE). The energy jumps to (503). This is a long-range standout – promising, but you’ll want to keep an eye on it as it gets closer.

Finally, Monday 27 July morning looks like a bit of a sleeper. The swell builds to 2.6ft from the SW, with a solid 18-second period, and the combined energy hits (652) – that’s the strongest reading in the second week. Offshore winds from the NE again. This could be a session where the sets have real push, even if the height doesn’t look huge on paper. The afternoon turns a bit cross-onshore, so get on it early.

No real gaps of dead flat days here – consistent enough to keep the stoke alive.
