The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
The next 16 days are looking pretty good for Quatro-Once (411). This is a consistent point break that’s exposed to the swell, so it handles a lot of what the ocean throws at it. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing weird there.
The first real action is Monday morning, August 3rd. We’re looking at glassy, slight air conditions with a 2ft swell from the southwest, period 14 seconds. That’s a long-period groundswell, so the waves will have some push and shape, but it’s not huge. The combined energy is moderate (312). It’s a slow start, but the wind is dead calm, so it’s clean.
Tuesday morning, August 4th, is a real standout. It’s glassy with zero wind, a 3ft swell from the south-southwest, period 9 seconds, and combined energy of 279 (moderate). That’s the best early call. The swell is small but the conditions are perfect. It’s a beginner-friendly wave, so it’s a great morning for a longboard or a funboard.
Friday morning, August 7th, is the next big one. The swell jumps to 4ft from the southwest, period 13 seconds, and the combined energy hits 648 (strong). The wind is glassy from the east-northeast. This is a serious session. The waves will have real power, and the lineup should be clean. The crowd is listed as “sometimes,” so you might have a few others out, but it won’t be packed.
Saturday, August 8th, keeps the run going. The morning is 4ft from the southwest, period 16 seconds, combined energy 823 (strong). The wind is cross-off, so it’s clean. The afternoon is even better: 4ft from the south-southwest, period 15 seconds, combined energy 791 (strong), and the wind goes glassy. That’s a top-tier afternoon. The swell direction matches the optimum (SSW), and the period is long enough to give you proper lines down the point. This is the best on offer in the whole outlook.
Sunday, August 9th, is still very good. The morning is 4ft from the southwest, period 14 seconds, combined energy 638 (strong), with glassy wind. The afternoon holds up too, with 4ft and clean conditions.
The second week settles into a more consistent, smaller pattern. From Monday, August 10th, through to Sunday, August 17th, you’ll see waves between 2ft and 4ft, mostly from the southwest or south-southwest. The periods are long, often 14 to 18 seconds, so the energy is there. The wind is usually offshore, cross-off, or glassy, so the surf stays clean. The combined energy is mostly in the strong range (350-834). It’s a solid run of fun, rideable waves, especially for a point break.
The last day in the forecast, Tuesday morning, August 18th, is a nice closer: 4ft from the south-southwest, period 14 seconds, combined energy 519 (strong), and glassy wind. That’s a good way to finish.
Overall, the highlight is the Saturday afternoon on August 8th. Head out then and you’ll be smiling.
Stay safe, 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.
