Quatro-Once (411) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve got the lowdown on what’s coming our way for Quatro-Once. We’ve got a solid run of surf kicking off on Thursday, so no gap to worry about at the start.

Right out of the gate, Thursday afternoon sees a nice 5ft SSW groundswell rolling in with a 15-second period. The combined swell energy is pumping at 1198 (moderate wave energy), and with glassy conditions, the water’s going to be clean. The water temp is sitting at 85°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.

The standout of the whole period is Friday, the 3rd of July. Both morning and afternoon sessions are looking excellent. The swell bumps up a fraction to 5ft from the SSW, with a long 16-second period giving the waves some real grunt. Friday morning has a light offshore breeze from the N at 6 mph, making for clean faces. Friday afternoon turns glassy again. The combined energy numbers are rock-solid – 1255 in the morning and 1269 in the afternoon (moderate wave energy). This is the pick of the week, especially for experienced surfers who can handle that longer period groundswell – it’ll be better shaped at this point break.

Saturday and Sunday hold steady with 4ft to 4ft SSW swell in the same 14-15 second range. Saturday afternoon gets a nice NNE offshore wind at 9 mph which will groom things up nicely. Sunday keeps the offshore flow, just a bit lighter.

The next real peak comes on Monday the 6th of July. Monday morning has 4ft SSW swell, 16-second period, with a NE offshore breeze. The energy is back up to 1212 (moderate wave energy). Monday afternoon is where it gets interesting – a 4ft SW groundswell but with a very long 20-second period, pushing the combined energy to 1516 (moderate to strong wave energy). This is a powerful, clean groundswell that will really favour the point setup at Quatro-Once. This is another true standout if you can sneak out for it.

Tuesday the 7th of July morning is still good with 5ft SW swell and a long 18-second period, energy at 1729 (moderate to strong wave energy). Cross-off wind from the NE keeps it clean. Tuesday afternoon the wind swings onshore, making conditions marginal and the swell gets a bit too big at 6ft, so stick to the mornings.

After that, the swell slowly tapers through the end of the first week and into the second, with heights dropping from 6ft on Wednesday down to 3ft by the 14th. Most days in this second week have light winds and clean conditions, but the energy drops off – the combined energy falls to around 350 to 400 (weak to moderate wave energy). The 15th of July sees a small pulse of 3ft to 4ft SSW swell with a clean offshore breeze, which is worth a look.

Overall, the best windows are Friday the 3rd and Monday the 6th. The crowds might be around at times, so get in early.

Rusty.
