The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
The water is sitting at 85° which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so ditch the wetsuit.
We kick off Sunday morning at Quatro-Once (411). This is a point break that breaks consistently, so it’ll be running. We’ve got a clean 3ft SW groundswell with a very long 19-second period, and the wind is glassy from the NE. That’s going to be smooth, lined-up waves. The combined wave energy is moderate (900). Because it’s a point, that long period will wrap in beautifully. It can get busy sometimes, but early morning should be fine.
Sunday afternoon the wind turns onshore and there’s a storm risk, so the clean morning is the one.
Monday morning 27 July steps it up. The swell is 4ft from the SW, still a long 16 seconds, and the wind is dead calm – glassy. This is excellent for experienced surfers. The energy is moderate (1238). This is a standout session.
Tuesday morning 28 July the swell pushes to 5ft from the SW, period 18 seconds, with a clean cross-offshore breeze from the E. Energy is moderate (1530). Conditions are clean and the waves have some grunt. At 5ft, it’s a bit much for absolute beginners but still fine for most.
Wednesday 29 July holds steady with 5ft SW swell. The morning is clean with a cross-off breeze, and the afternoon goes glassy. Both sessions look good, but the afternoon is a real gem.
Thursday 30 July the swell drops to 5ft with a shorter 14-second period, but the morning is glassy. It’s a solid session, energy is moderate (770).
From Friday 31 July through the first week of August, the size drops. We’re looking at 2ft to 4ft SW swell, shorter periods, and more onshore or cross winds. The energy drops to weak (under 500). There are some glassy windows, but the waves are small and inconsistent.
We hit a bit of a lull until Thursday 6 August, when a new pulse of 3ft to 3ft SSW swell arrives with a long 15-second period, building to moderate energy (517) by the afternoon with glassy conditions. Very clean.
Friday 7 August morning, the wind goes offshore from the NNE, and the swell is 3ft from the SSW, period 13 seconds. Energy is moderate (581). That’s a crisp, clean morning.
The standout of the second week is Saturday 8 August. We get 4ft SW swell, 16-second period, and glassy conditions all day. The energy is moderate (767). That’s a long-range gem – keep an eye on it, but it’s looking promising.
Sunday 9 August keeps the 4ft SSW swell going with glassy mornings, another very good session.
After that, the swell fades again into the 10th, with smaller waves and weaker energy.
If I had to pick the real standouts: Monday morning 27 July for the glassy 4ft groundswell, and Wednesday afternoon 29 July for the 5ft glassy perfection. The Saturday 8 August session is a long-range heads-up.
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.
