Quatro-Once (411) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, I’m back on the mic here for the local surf. You know the drill, I’m Rusty.

We’ve got pretty steady surf through the whole 16-day window here, with a solid sweet spot right in the middle of next week where it really fires. The swell direction holds tight from the SSW this whole time, which is the sweet spot for our setup.

We’re starting on Saturday the 4th of July, and it's already rolling. We’ve got a clean, 4 ft SSW swell coming through with a 15-second period. Light breeze all day, cross-off wind, so it’s looking alright. The combined wave energy is solid moderate, reading 905 in the morning. Not the day to call your boss sick, but it’s a fun, user-friendly wave for the weekend.

Sunday the 5th holds similar, 4 ft SSW at 14 seconds, clean and light. Easy paddling, consistent.

Okay, now listen up. The standout for this whole outlook is Monday the 6th and Tuesday the 7th. Monday morning we get a jump to 4 ft from the SSW, but the period stretches out to a very long 16 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy. The combined energy is up to 1209 (moderate). The real gold is Monday afternoon: the wind drops to *dead calm*, glassy as a mirror, and the swell smooths out to a 4 ft, 20-second period monster from the SW. The combined energy jumps to 1416. That is a pure, clean, long-period groundswell. This is going to be a dream at a point break like this. If you have a longboard or a step-up, that afternoon session is the pick of the month.

Tuesday the 7th morning is also magic. We’ve got 5 ft from the SSW, an 18-second period, and it’s glassy with a slight air. The combined energy peaks at 1599. That’s strong, clean, and consistent. This is for experienced surfers though; that energy is no joke. Tuesday afternoon the wind shifts cross-on and it gets a bit lumpy, so get your waves in the morning.

Wednesday the 8th is still excellent for experienced surfers. 5 ft SSW, 16-second period, glassy both morning and afternoon. The energy is still strong at 1254. This is a multi-day run of high quality.

From Thursday the 9th, the swell starts to settle back a bit but stays clean. Thursday morning is 4 ft, 15 seconds, glassy. A great option if you missed the main event. The afternoons start showing a bit of cross-on wind from the SW from here on out, so mornings are the go-to.

We get a bit of a lull with smaller, weaker surf on the 13th and 14th, but it’s still clean. On Tuesday the 14th, the period bumps back up to 16 seconds with a 3 ft, making for some clean, long-period lines.

The third week gets a bit more mixed with risk of t-storms and some onshore winds, but there are still clean windows. Saturday the 18th morning brings a return to 4 ft SSW at 15 seconds, glassy, with combined energy of 978. That’s a good way to end the run, but the earlier confidence is higher. The very last day, Sunday the 19th, the wind goes full cross and it gets messy, so the run fizzles out a bit.

Water temp is about average for July, so no worries on that front.

Signing off,
Rusty
