The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, checkin' in with a look at what's ahead for Quatro-Once (411). We've got a solid run of surf coming, so let's get into it.
This spot is a consistent point break that's a dream for beginners, and the best part? It's exposed to the SSW swell, which is exactly what this place needs to light up. Over the next 16 days, we're looking at a real nice stretch of clean, rideable waves.
The week kicks off on Tuesday, July 14th, with the water feeling a touch warmer than normal, sitting at 85°. We're seeing a clean 3ft SSW swell, with moderate energy levels (486). The NNE wind is gentle and offshore, making for perfect conditions. This is a great window to get out there.
Wednesday morning, July 15th, is even better. The swell bumps up to 4ft from the SSW, with a longer 14-second period pushing more energy through (518). A light NE offshore breeze is keeping it glassy. Wednesday afternoon, the wind swings onshore, so the morning is the clear winner here.
Thursday, July 16th, is a standout. Morning brings a glassy 4ft SSW swell, and the wind is dead calm. It's a glider's paradise. That glassy, clean condition holds right through the afternoon with a 0.3ft drop in the swell.
Friday, July 17th, and Saturday, July 18th, are pure magic. We've got consistent 4ft to 4ft SSW swell with moderate-strong energy (518-568). The wind is offshore or glassy through the mornings, promising clean, long waves. Friday afternoon sees a slight cross-off wind, but it's still clean. This is about as good as it gets for a beginner-friendly point break.
We get a bit of a blend on Sunday, July 19th. The morning is glassy, but the afternoon turns onshore, so get your session in early. The swell hangs around 4ft, but the energy dips slightly (431).
Monday, July 20th, sees a slight drop in size to 3ft, but the morning is glassy and clean. The wind stays favourable on Tuesday, July 21st, with a nice 2ft swell but a very long 15-second period. That long period will make for some beautiful, lined-up waves at this point break.
Now, the surf fades a bit from Wednesday, July 22nd, through to Thursday, July 23rd. The swell drops to 2ft-2ft, and the energy really falls off (138-186). The wind is all over the place, so it's a good time to rest the arms.
But hold onto your board, because Friday, July 24th, the ocean wakes up. It's a small wave size of 2ft, but the swell period jumps to a massive 24 seconds, generating a huge surge of energy (574). The morning has a clean cross-off wind. This is a sneaky good session for a longboard.
The last week of the month is firing. Saturday, July 25th, through Monday, July 27th, we see consistent 2ft to 4ft SSW swell, with very long periods (18-21 seconds) and energy readings climbing into the strong range (544-846). The winds are glassy or cross-off, keeping it clean. The best of this run, and the true standout for the whole outlook, is Tuesday, July 28th. The swell hits 4ft from the SSW, with an 18-second period. The combined energy is a powerful 1111, and the wind is a clean offshore breeze in the morning, turning glassy in the afternoon. This is excellent, powerful surf for experienced surfers. Wednesday, July 29th, holds size with a 4ft SSW swell, but the period drops to 16 seconds, still providing very good, glassy conditions.
So, for the best of it, point your board at Quatro-Once. The standout windows are the glassy mornings of July 16th and 18th, and the excellent, powerful swell on the 28th. Get amongst it.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Quatro-Once (411) can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.

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.
