The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I'm gonna give this to you in feet and miles, the way it should be.
First off, the water temp at Quatro-Once is 85°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Feels good.
The first few days are pretty weak. Wednesday the 26th and Thursday the 27th are offering up tiny surf, around 1 to 2 feet. The swell period is long, 15-18 seconds, but the combined energy is only 190-195, so it's weak. The wind is calm or glassy, but the waves are just too small.
Friday the 28th morning gets a little better. The swell is up to 2 feet with a solid 19-second period, and the combined energy hits 475. The wind is glassy, so it's clean, but still small.
The weekend starts to build. Saturday the 29th morning has 4 feet of SW swell, 16-second period, and a combined energy of 958. There's a slight cross-shore wind from the SE at 3 mph, so it's a bit bumpy. Sunday the 30th morning is where it gets good. We've got 5 feet of SW swell, 14-second period, and a combined energy of 1057. The wind is glassy from the S at 3 mph. This is an excellent session for experienced surfers. The size is getting up there, so it's not for beginners, but the quality is there.
Monday the 31st and Tuesday the 1st of September are a bit smaller, but the conditions are still good. Monday morning has 4 feet of SW swell, 13-second period, and a combined energy of 883. The wind is glassy from the SE at 3 mph. Tuesday morning is similar, with 3 feet of swell and a glassy W wind.
Then we get a run of clean mornings. Wednesday the 2nd, Thursday the 3rd, and Friday the 4th all have glassy conditions with swell from 3 to 4 feet, combined energy of 600-900, and long periods. These are very good, consistent waves.
The standout is the second week. Sunday the 6th of September is a gem. Both morning and afternoon have 5 feet of SW swell, 15-second period, and a combined energy of 844. The wind is completely calm, glassy. That's a proper day.
But the real highlight is Thursday the 10th of September. The morning has 4 feet of SW swell, 17-second period, and a combined energy of 1509. The wind is glassy from the S at 3 mph. The afternoon gets even better, with 5 feet of swell, 15-second period, and a combined energy of 1466. The wind stays glassy from the ENE. Both sessions are excellent for experienced surfers. This is the best of the outlook. The swell is solid, the period is long, and the wind is perfect. Block out that day.
The afternoons tend to get a bit more wind and the occasional storm risk, but the mornings are where it's at. Crowds are listed as "sometimes," so you might see a few others, but it's nothing heavy.
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.
