The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking at Quatro-Once (411), the point break that’s exposed to the SSW swell. This spot is a beginner-friendly wave that’s consistent, and it’s got a solid run of surf coming our way.
The water temp is about average for this time of year, no big anomaly to report.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but the first real standout is Tuesday morning, July 21st. The swell is a clean 3 ft from the SSW with a period of 11 seconds, which is a nice groundswell. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the ENE at 6 mph, keeping the surface clean. The combined wave energy is a solid 511 (moderate), and it’s looking like a great session for getting out there.
The next few days get a bit messy with afternoon storms and onshore winds, but Thursday morning, July 23rd, brings a glassy calm with a 2 ft SSW swell and a very long period of 26 seconds. That’s proper groundswell, and on a point break like this one, it’ll wrap in beautifully. The energy is still moderate at 244, but the glassy conditions make it a winner.
Friday morning, July 24th is another cracker: 2 ft from the SW, 24-second period, glassy with a light breeze from the NE. Energy is up to 712 (moderate). This is the kind of morning where you paddle out and forget about everything else.
Saturday morning, July 25th keeps the good run going: 3 ft from the SW, 21-second period, glassy. Energy is 749. It’s all about the early sessions.
Now, the real highlight of the entire forecast is the week starting Sunday, July 26th. The afternoon brings a 4 ft SW swell with an 18-second period, and the energy jumps to 1175 (strong). The wind goes glassy. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers – the size is getting up there, over 5 ft, so it’s not for beginners anymore.
Monday, July 27th morning is even better: 4 ft at 16 seconds, glassy, and energy at 1256 (strong). This is a top-tier session.
Tuesday, July 28th is the standout. Morning sees 6 ft from the SW, 18-second period, with a clean offshore wind from the NE at 6 mph. Energy is a massive 1836 (strong). This is big, powerful, and clean – expert territory only. The afternoon is still excellent with 5 ft and cross-offshore wind.
Wednesday, July 29th morning is another big one: 6 ft, 16 seconds, and a proper offshore from the NNE at 9 mph. Energy is 1494 (strong). This is the kind of swell that makes you want to call in sick.
The energy tapers off a bit toward the end of the month, but Tuesday, August 4th and Wednesday, August 5th bring back clean conditions with 5 ft and 4 ft SSW swells, glassy or offshore winds, and moderate energy. Solid sessions for the more experienced crew.
Overall, the best on offer is the Tuesday, July 28th to Wednesday, July 29th window. That’s the big, clean, powerful swell with offshore winds. Don’t sleep on the glassy mornings of July 24th and 25th either, if you want something mellower.
Rusty, signing off.

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. If you surf the same spot (Quatro-Once (411)) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
