The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. We’ve got a solid run of surf on the way here at Quatro-Once (411). It’s a consistent point break that works best with a good SSW groundswell, and the water’s sitting at 86°F – a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so boardshorts all the way.
The week kicks off proper on Friday morning, July 24th. We’re looking at a clean 2ft SW swell with a very long 24 second period and light offshore wind from the NNE. This is groundswell at its finest, and combined energy is sitting in the moderate range at 792 – really promising for a point setup, you’ll get nice long lines between sets. It’s a beginner-friendly spot anyway, but with these long-period swells, the waves will push through nicely and be well-shaped. Friday afternoon turns glassy with a little 2ft SSW swell, calm winds, and a glazed surface – that’s the kind of afternoon session you chase.
Saturday morning, July 25th, is the real standout early on. We’ve got 3ft of SW swell, still with a long 21 second period, glassy offshore ESE wind, and combined energy at 795. It’s clean, it’s peeling, and for a point break, this is about as good as it gets for a fun, uncrowded morning. Keep an eye on the sky though – the afternoon gets a risk of thunderstorms and a cross-onshore breeze, so get your fill in the morning.
Sunday July 26th afternoon actually shapes up nicely despite the storm risk – the wind goes glassy from the SW, and we get a 4ft SW swell with an 18 second period. Combined energy jumps to 1120 – that’s solid moderate wave energy and excellent for experienced surfers. The point will handle that long period beautifully. Monday July 27th has some cross-onshore wind issues, but Tuesday July 28th morning is a huge standout: 5ft SW swell, an 18 second period, light offshore NE wind, and combined energy at 1559 – moderate to strong energy levels. This is bigger and powerful, but for experienced surfers on a point, it’s going to be pumping. Clean conditions through Tuesday and into Wednesday July 29th morning with similar size and offshore winds.
After Wednesday, the swell starts dropping and the wind turns onshore or cross-shore more often. There’s a run of smaller surf from Thursday July 30th through the weekend, with heights around 3ft to 4ft, but mostly cross or onshore winds. Not a total write-off – there are still a few clean windows. Thursday July 30th and Friday July 31st are pretty average, but Saturday August 1st morning we get another glassy session with 3ft SW swell and 13 second period. Not huge, but clean.
Sunday August 2nd morning repeats the glassy theme with 3ft swell, and then Monday August 3rd morning sees a little bump back to 4ft with glassy conditions. The pattern keeps ticking over with small, clean opportunities on Tuesday August 4th morning (flat calm, 3ft SSW) and Wednesday August 5th morning (clean cross-off wind, 3ft). The best of the second week is probably Thursday August 6th morning: 3ft SSW swell, 12 second period, offshore NE wind at 6 mph, combined energy at 348 – clean and workable for a point break, even if it’s not big.
Beyond that, the last few days into August 8th are small and mostly onshore or glassy but fading. The run is long and consistent, no major gaps – just the occasional afternoon deterioration. If you’re after the best, hit Saturday July 25th morning or Tuesday July 28th morning. That’s the pick of the bunch.

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.
