The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a pretty solid run of surf coming up at Quatro-Once, a point break that’s a dream for beginners. The water’s sitting at 85°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s a little tropical out there.
The best of the lot kicks off first thing Wednesday morning, September 9th. We’re looking at a clean 3ft swell rolling in from the SSW at a long 16 seconds. The wind is glassy, coming out of the ENE at just 3 mph, and the water is like a mirror. The combined energy is a solid moderate 786. This is the standout session – perfect for getting a few easy ones.
Conditions hold through Thursday morning, September 10th. The swell bumps up a notch to 4ft from the SW, still with that lovely 15-second period and glassy conditions from a light WSW wind. Energy climbs to 984. Very, very good.
Friday morning, September 11th, is another winner. The swell is 4ft from the SW with a 16-second period and a clean cross-offshore breeze at 6 mph. You’ll have clean faces and some push.
Now, the middle of the week drops off a bit. Swell sizes dip under 3ft from the 13th through the 15th, but keep an eye on Tuesday afternoon, September 15th. It comes back to life with a 3ft swell from the SW, a very long 18-second period, and glassy winds. The energy is a moderate 699. That long period will make the waves at this point break nice and lined up.
We get another glassy morning on Wednesday, September 16th, with 4ft swell from the SW at 16 seconds. Good call for a dawn patrol.
Then things get a bit spicy. From Thursday the 17th onward, we get onshore winds, mainly from the SW and WSW, and the quality drops. There’s a pulse of 5ft on Saturday, September 19th, but the period is a short 7 seconds and the winds are cross-onshore, making it choppy and a bit of a mess. That one’s for the kites, not the paddle.
The last week of the window is small again, mostly 2ft to 3ft, but we end on a high note. Both sessions on Thursday, September 24th have zero wind – dead calm and glassy. The swell is a knee-high 3ft from the SW at 14 seconds, but the energy is light at 303. It won’t be pumping, but it’ll be clean and friendly for a longboard or a learner.
The best bet is without doubt Wednesday morning, September 9th. Glassy, chest-high groundswell with plenty of energy. Don’t sleep on it. It’s a point break that can get crowded sometimes, so get in early.
Rusty.

Information about the Quatro-Once (411) Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Quatro-Once (411) provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Quatro-Once (411) can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Quatro-Once (411) surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period.

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. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
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.
