Quatro-Once (411) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking at Quatro-Once (411). This spot is a consistent point break, exposed to the south-southwest, and it’s a dream for beginners. The water’s sitting at 84°, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, which is a nice bonus.

The pattern for the next couple of weeks is pretty solid. We start off with a bit of a slow burn, but once that first proper swell shows up, it’s game on. After a pretty quiet start on Wednesday afternoon with a weak 3 ft swell from the SSW and a cross-breeze, things are looking up.

Thursday morning, 6th of August, brings a glassy dawn with a 2 ft SSW swell. The period is a proper 14 seconds, so it’s got some decent groundswell energy. The water is dead calm, making for some clean, fun little waves. The afternoon is a bit more marginal. Friday morning, 7th of August, is where it starts to get exciting. We’ve got a 3 ft swell from the same direction, but with a clean 9 mph offshore breeze from the NNE. The combined energy is at a solid 617 (moderate), and the waves will be clean and lined up. That’s a real standout for the first week.

Saturday, 8th of August, is another beauty. The morning is glassy again, with a 4 ft SW swell (16-second period) and a combined energy of 782. The afternoon might have a few thunderstorms around, but the wind stays glassy, and the swell picks up to 4 ft with a 15-second period. That’s a very long, clean groundswell, and the energy is still pumping at 780. It’s a classic setup for a point break, and the offshore winds on Sunday morning (9th August) will keep it all tidy.

The best of the best, though? I’m looking at Saturday morning, 15th of August. That’s over a week away, so call it a promising one. The forecast shows a 5 ft SW swell with a 16-second period, and it’s going to be glassy. The combined energy hits 1283, which is strong, and the conditions are set for excellent surf for experienced surfers. It’s a bit punchy for the learners, but for anyone who’s got the skills, that’s the session to circle on the calendar. The Monday morning, 17th of August, also looks very good with a clean cross-off breeze and a 4 ft SW swell.

There really aren’t any big gaps of flatness here. The consistency is high, and the forecast is optimistic. The only thing to watch is that the long-period swells (over 15 seconds) can break a bit straight on a beach break, but at a point like Quatro-Once, they’ll be drawing lines perfectly. The crowds are listed as “sometimes” here, so you might have a few mates out, but nothing crazy.

Rusty, signing off.
