The Lowdown
Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for our little slice of coastline.
We’ve got one spot on the radar for the next couple of weeks, Quatro-Once (411). It’s a consistent point break that’s exposed to the south-southwest, so it’s pretty picky about direction. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.
The next few days are a bit of a write-off to be honest. Wednesday and Thursday are looking pretty ordinary with small, weak swell around 2 ft to 3 ft and a mix of poor conditions. The combined energy is low, sitting around 145 to 278, so not much to get excited about. You’d be better off stayin’ home.
Now, things start to turn around on Friday, August 7th. The morning shapes up with a clean 4 ft groundswell from the southwest, light offshore winds from the northeast, and combined energy jumping to 648. That’s a solid moderate pulse. The afternoon sees a bit more energy at 759 but the wind swings cross-offshore and it gets a bit lumpy. Still, the morning is the pick of the day.
Saturday, August 8th is where it gets good. The morning is glassy with a 4 ft SW swell and combined energy of 782. The afternoon is even better – dead calm, 4 ft from the SSW, and the energy is still strong at 780. That’s a standout session for sure. Clean, fun waves with no crowds mentioned, so you might have it to yourself.
Sunday, August 9th keeps the run going. Clean conditions all day with a 4 ft SW swell, light offshore winds, and energy around 523 to 607. Another solid day.
The first real standout of the whole forecast happens on Tuesday, August 11th afternoon. A 3 ft swell from the SSW with a very long period of 18 seconds and combined energy rocketing to 1065 – that’s strong wave energy. The wind is light cross-offshore, so it’s clean. This is groundswell with serious grunt, but with that long period, it’ll be better at this point break than a beach break. It’s a big one for experienced surfers.
Friday, August 14th afternoon is another beauty. A 4 ft SW swell, 18-second period, combined energy of 1175, and glassy conditions. That’s proper stuff. Saturday, August 15th morning is the same vibe – 5 ft, 16 seconds, energy at 1106, and glassy. That’s the biggest swell of the run, but it’s getting into the “experts only” territory size-wise. The afternoon gets a bit messy with cross-onshore wind, so hit it early.
The second week holds up with plenty of clean, surfable days. Sunday, August 16th is a good one with glassy to clean conditions and 4 ft SW swell. Monday, August 17th morning is clean offshore, and Tuesday, August 18th morning is clean again. The energy drops a bit but still moderate. The last few days from August 19th onward look a bit iffy with onshore winds and marginal conditions, so keep an eye on that.
Overall, the best windows are Saturday morning August 8th, Tuesday afternoon August 11th, and Friday afternoon August 14th through Saturday morning August 15th. Those are the ones to circle on the calendar. No other spots in the mix, so Quatro-Once is the only game in town, and it’s gonna fire.
Rusty out.

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.
