Quatro-Once (411) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a solid run of surf coming up at Quatro-Once (411). This is a consistent point break that’s exposed to the SSW swell, and it’s looking like a good stretch ahead.

The water is sitting at 85°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be comfortable in boardshorts or a spring suit.

The first action kicks off Sunday morning, August 9th, with a clean 4ft swell from the SSW, period at 14 seconds, and a moderate offshore breeze from the NNE. The combined energy is moderate at 607, and the conditions are looking very good. That offshore wind will keep the faces clean, and the longer period means proper, lined-up waves with good shape. This is a great start to the run.

Sunday afternoon stays clean with the same offshore wind, dropping slightly to 4ft from the SW.

Monday, August 10th, is a standout morning. The swell drops a touch to 3ft from the SSW, but the wind goes glassy, with a slight air from the NNE. This is the kind of morning you set an early alarm for. The conditions are clean and the waves will be playful. The energy is still moderate at 352. Monday afternoon gets even better with the wind going glassy again, 3ft from the SW, and a 13-second period. This is a top pick for the week.

Tuesday the 11th keeps the train rolling with a clean morning, 3ft from the SW, light offshore winds, and a 14-second period. Then Tuesday afternoon, watch out. The swell period jumps to 18 seconds, the combined energy is strong at 880, and the wind goes glassy. This is a premium session for the point, with long, grinding lines. The waves are 3ft, but that long period will pack a punch.

Wednesday morning, August 12th, is another glassy morning with 3ft from the SSW and a 16-second period. The energy is moderate at 576. The wind is perfect. Wednesday afternoon, the wind turns onshore, so the quality drops off.

Thursday the 13th, the swell drops to 2ft. The morning is clean with a cross-offshore breeze, but it’s small. The afternoon gets messy with a light cross-onshore.

Friday, August 14th, is a major highlight. The morning is glassy calm, with a 4ft swell from the SW and a very long 19-second period. The combined energy is strong at 864. This is a classic point break setup – the long period groundswell will wrap in beautifully, creating long, hollow walls. The afternoon gets a bit of cross-onshore wind, but it’s still a decent swell.

Saturday, August 15th, is the absolute best on offer. Both morning and afternoon are glassy calm, with a 4ft swell from the SW and a 16-second period. The combined energy is very strong (1089 in the morning, 1047 in the afternoon). This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. The waves will have real power, and the point will be firing. It’s a bit too big for beginners, but for anyone with a bit of experience, this is the day.

Sunday the 16th, the morning is glassy again with a 4ft, 15-second swell. The energy is strong at 714. The afternoon gets a cross-onshore wind, so get it in the morning.

The following week from Monday, August 17th, through to Sunday, August 24th, continues to offer a mix of glassy mornings and small to moderate swells. Monday morning the 17th is glassy with 4ft, and Tuesday the 18th has clean cross-offshore winds and a 3ft swell. Wednesday the 19th is another glassy morning with 3ft and a long 15-second period. The energy is strong at 735. Saturday the 22nd has a glassy morning with a tiny 2ft, but the period is a very long 21 seconds, so the energy is still moderate at 524. The long period will make for some surprisingly fun, if small, waves. The final Sunday, August 23rd, and Monday, August 24th, both have glassy mornings with 3ft and 2ft swells, wrapping up the run nicely.

The best sessions are the Saturday, August 15th, for the classic, powerful point break conditions, and the glassy Monday morning of August 10th for a smaller, more playful session. The Friday morning, August 14th, is also a standout for the long-period groundswell.

Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so get out early for the best ones.

Rusty out.
