Quatro-Once (411) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the waves, but I’ll put it in feet.

We're starting on Monday afternoon, July 13th, with the first real surf. The water is a warm 85°, so it’s a bit toastier than usual.

The main spot to keep an eye on is Quatro-Once (411) . It's a point break that's good for beginners, and it's wide open to the SSW swell.

Monday afternoon (July 13th) : We’ve got a 4ft swell from the SSW with a 14-second period – that's proper groundswell. The energy is solid at (544). A gentle east wind at 9 mph gives us a clean, cross-off look. Good start.

Tuesday (July 14th) is clean all day. Morning is 3ft from the SSW with a 14-second period and a moderate offshore from the NNE at 12 mph. Afternoon is 3ft with a 13-second period and a gentle offshore from the NE at 9 mph. Smooth paddling.

Wednesday morning (July 15th) is a top pick. Swell bumps up to 4ft at 14 seconds from the SSW, with a light cross-off east breeze (6 mph). The energy is strong at (600). The afternoon turns cross-on, so hit the early session.

Friday morning (July 17th) looks good: 4ft SSW swell, 14 seconds, with a light cross-off breeze (6 mph from the NE). Clean.

Saturday morning (July 18th) is the one to circle. 4ft swell from the SSW at 13 seconds, and the wind goes glassy. The energy is pumping at (564). It will be absolutely clean. That’s your best bet for the week.

Sunday morning (July 19th) and Monday morning (July 20th) both have glassy conditions again, with swell around 4ft and 3ft. The energy is dropping, but you can't argue with a glassy point.

From Tuesday (July 21st) , the swell gets smaller. Morning has 2ft from the SW with a very long 15-second period, and afternoon is 2ft. Both glassy. Tiny, clean waves.

Wednesday (July 22nd) brings a short-period swell (7 seconds) at 4ft in the morning with a clean breeze. It’s surfable, but the waves will be weaker and dumpier.

Then we hit a rough patch from Thursday (July 23rd) through Friday afternoon (July 24th) . Poor conditions, not worth the effort.

Saturday morning (July 25th) has a real anomaly. A tiny 2ft swell from the SW, but with a ridiculous 21-second period. The energy is very strong at (633), and it’s dead flat calm. This will produce long, peeling lines, but you’ll be waiting an age between sets. Not for the impatient or the beginner.

Sunday (July 26th) and Monday (July 27th) mornings both have clean conditions with solid SW groundswells (19 and 18-second periods) and strong energy (646 and 536). The mornings are the only clean windows, as the afternoons get messy.

Tuesday (July 28th) is the last day. The morning has 3ft from the SW at 17 seconds, but the wind turns cross-on. The afternoon is 3ft at 17 seconds, but a stronger cross-on breeze makes it choppy. That’s a kiter’s session, not a paddle surfer’s.

So, the call is: Saturday morning, July 18th is your stand-out glassy session. The Saturday morning, July 25th is a wildcard with that mega-long period – a glassy treat if you’ve got the patience.

Rusty.
