The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s run this in feet and miles-per-hour.
Same spot: Quatro-Once (411). Over the 16-day window, it starts strong, goes flat for a few days, then fires back up with some long-period groundswell.
First call is Wednesday, July 29th morning. Swell is a solid 5ft from the southwest at 16 seconds. That’s proper groundswell, and the combined energy is pumping at 1281 (moderate-strong). The wind is coming from the NNE at 9 mph – that’s clean offshore. Water is 84°F, a touch warmer than normal. This is excellent surf, but with 5ft on a point, it’s for the more experienced crew. Crowds are possible.
Wednesday afternoon holds steady with 5ft and a N wind at 6 mph staying offshore. Thursday morning, July 30, drops to 5ft from the southwest at 14 seconds, but the wind turns glassy from the NNE at 3 mph. The wave energy is 777 (moderate). That glassy morning is prime.
Friday morning, July 31, we are at 4ft with a 13-second period, glassy wind from the ENE at 3 mph. Clean and fun. Friday afternoon, the wind switches SW onshore at 6 mph, and quality drops.
The weekend (August 1-2) fades to 3ft and 3ft with glassy or offshore winds – clean but small. Energy is below 400 (weak-moderate).
Then we hit a flat spot. Monday, August 3 through Thursday, August 6 morning is mostly weak 2ft to 3ft stuff, with onshore winds and storms. The energy is below 250 much of the time – that’s a gap of several days with nothing to get excited about.
Second week, Friday, August 7 morning is a standout. Swell is only 3ft, but with an 18-second period – very long groundswell – and energy at 614 (moderate). The wind is dead calm. That long period will wrap nicely around the point. Friday afternoon picks up to 3ft with 17 seconds and 805 energy, glassy. Great quality.
Saturday, August 8 keeps it going with 4ft at 16 seconds, energy at 881 (strong), and glassy winds. Crowds are likely.
Best of the second week is Tuesday, August 11 morning. We have 3ft with a massive 19-second period. The energy is 801, and the wind is NNE at 6 mph offshore. Very promising long-range call for the point.
By Wednesday, August 12, it’s still active with 3ft at 18 seconds and 782 energy, but the wind gets a bit cross-offshore. Things fade out towards the end.
So, the two best windows: Wednesday, July 29 morning for the 5ft SW groundswell with offshore winds – that’s the heavy stuff. Then keep your eyes on Friday, August 7 through Monday, August 11 for that very long-period, glassy groundswell. The long-range stuff is a bit less certain but looks real nice.
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. 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.
