The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's get into it.
We’ve got a solid run of surf coming up at Quatro-Once. The window opens Wednesday morning with small but rideable waves, and it just builds from there. The water's a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 84°, so you can leave the wetsuit at home.
Wednesday the 5th kicks things off with tiny 3ft surf from the SSW and glassy conditions. It’s not going to blow anyone away, but it’s surfable and clean, with only moderate wave energy (143). The afternoon stays similar with the same size and glassy wind. A low-key start.
Thursday the 6th sees the swell drop a touch to 2ft, but the period jumps way up to 14 seconds – proper groundswell. That long period, combined with a cross-offshore breeze, will make for clean, better-shaped waves. The energy picks up into the moderate range (276). A decent morning session.
Friday the 7th is where things start getting interesting. The swell bumps up to 4ft from the SW, with a 13-second period and 12 mph offshore wind. That’s clean and punchy, with strong wave energy (648). The afternoon stays good with 3ft and a very long 17-second period, but the wind swings cross-offshore.
Saturday the 8th is shaping up as a standout. Morning brings 4ft SW swell, 16 second period, and absolute glass – dead calm, zero wind. The wave energy is strong (782). It doesn’t get much cleaner than that. The afternoon holds up too, with 4ft SSW swell, still glassy, and very strong energy (780). This is the pick of the first week if you can get out.
Sunday the 9th keeps the quality high, with a clean 4ft SW swell and cross-offshore breeze. Strong energy (660) and clean conditions all day.
Monday the 10th eases off a little with 3ft waves, but glassy morning conditions and moderate energy (376) still make for a fun session.
Tuesday the 11th has a nice morning with 3ft SW groundswell and a gentle offshore wind – clean and lined up. The afternoon though, that’s a beauty: 3ft SSW with a very long 18-second period and wave energy pushing into the very strong zone (998). That’s a long-period groundswell at a point break, which is exactly where it shines.
Wednesday the 12th morning looks glassy with 3ft SSW swell and strong energy (692). The afternoon gets a bit messy with onshore wind, so stick to the morning.
The 13th offers small but glassy 3ft surf – nothing special, but clean enough for a paddle.
Now, keep an eye on Friday the 14th. The morning serves up 4ft SW swell, 18 seconds, dead calm. That’s excellent. But the afternoon is even better – 4ft SW, 18 seconds, glassy, with wave energy rocketing to 1181. That’s strong, powerful, and clean. This is top-tier stuff for experienced surfers.
Saturday the 15th keeps the run going with 5ft SW swell, 16 seconds, and glassy conditions. Very strong energy (1082) and excellent quality.
Sunday the 16th through Tuesday the 18th all offer clean 4-4ft SW swells with favourable winds. Consistency is high, energy stays strong, and conditions remain clean for the most part.
Wednesday the 19th has a nice 4ft SSW morning with cross-offshore wind and strong energy (855), but the afternoon gets onshore.
Thursday the 20th is the absolute standout of the whole forecast. Morning brings 4ft SW, 18 seconds, glassy, and wave energy of 1379. The afternoon? 6ft SSW, 17 seconds, glassy, and energy hitting 1619. That’s powerful, clean, and well overhead – expert territory for sure. This is a serious swell at a point break, and if it lines up, it’ll be unforgettable.
Overall, Quatro-Once is delivering consistent, clean surf for nearly two weeks straight. The best windows are Saturday 8th, Friday 14th, and Thursday 20th. Crowds are possible here, so get in early for the cleanest waves.

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.
