Quatro-Once (411) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a solid stretch of surf on the cards for Quatro-Once (411). It’s a consistent point break, exposed to the SSW swell, so it’s got a good track record for picking up energy. Water temp is sitting at 84°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – you’ll be in boardshorts for sure.

The first good call comes Monday morning, August 3rd. Glassy conditions with a light ESE breeze, and a 2ft SW swell rolling in at 14 seconds. It’s small but clean – perfect for the beginners this spot is known for. Combined swell energy is 312 (moderate), so there’s enough push for a fun session without it being hectic.

Through Tuesday the 4th, the swell builds slightly to 3ft from the SSW, still glassy in the morning. Energy is holding around 282 (moderate). Tuesday afternoon gets a bit ordinary with onshore SW wind, so aim for the early.

Wednesday the 5th drops off a bit – 3ft SSW at a short 7 seconds gives weak energy (145) and the waves look pretty average. Still, it’s glassy in the morning, so if you’re desperate you could find a crumbly one.

Now here’s where things start firing. Thursday the 6th morning has 2ft SSW but a period of 14 seconds (265 energy – moderate). It’s clean and cross-off. But the real standout kicks off Friday morning, August 7th. We’ve got 3ft SSW, 13-second period, and a clean cross-off breeze. Energy jumps to 617 (strong wave energy). This is the one to circle – the combo of size, long period, and offshore wind makes for proper lined-up waves. The point will handle that period beautifully.

Saturday the 8th is even better. Morning has 4ft SW at 16 seconds (782 energy – strong), glassy as a mirror. Afternoon bumps to 4ft SSW at 15 seconds (793 energy – strong). Still glassy. This is the best of the whole window – clean, solid, and the long-period groundswell will wrap perfectly around the point.

Sunday the 9th keeps the good stuff coming with 4ft SSW, 14 seconds, and a moderate offshore NNE breeze at 12 mph (energy 599 – strong). That offshore wind will groom it nicely. Just watch for the risk of thunderstorms.

From Monday the 10th onward, the swell settles back to 3–3ft with cleaner winds, mostly offshore or cross-off. Energy stays in the 400–500 range (moderate to strong). There’s a standout again on Wednesday the 12th afternoon – glassy conditions with 3ft SSW at 16 seconds (527 energy – strong). Very clean.

The second week has a few more highlights. Saturday the 15th morning brings 4ft SW at 16 seconds with glassy conditions – energy hits 930 (strong). That’s a big one for the point. Sunday the 16th is equally solid: 4ft SW at 15 seconds, with no wind in the afternoon making it dead glassy (789 and 649 energy – strong). The 16-day run finishes on Tuesday the 18th with 4ft SW at 14 seconds, glassy in the morning (559 energy – strong).

Overall, the first Saturday and Sunday are the absolute standouts – big clean swell, glassy or offshore conditions, and that long-period groundswell will really work the point. Expect crowds though – this spot can get busy, especially on the weekends.

Rusty.
