The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down what’s heading to Quatro-Once (411) for the next couple of weeks.
Water’s warm at 86°F – a bit above average for this time of year, which is nice if you’re in a shorty.
Tuesday morning kicks things off small: 2ft from the SW, 15-second period, light ENE cross-off wind, combined energy at 389 – weak stuff. Clean but tiny.
Tuesday afternoon stays similar, maybe a touch smaller. Wednesday morning brings onshore wind, so skip it.
Thursday 23rd July morning shapes up nice – glassy, 2ft SW swell, 12-second period, combined energy at 254. Small but perfect for a beginner-friendly point.
Friday 24th July morning is one of the real highlights. Glassy again, 2ft from the SW, but with a massive 24-second period – that’s very long groundswell. Combined energy hits 794, which is solid moderate. This point break loves that kind of period, so expect clean, lined-up waves.
Saturday 25th July morning keeps the energy up: 3ft SW, 21-second period, glassy, combined energy at 807. Another very good session.
Sunday 26th July afternoon is excellent for experienced surfers: 4ft from the SW, 18 seconds, combined energy at 1146 – strong. Light cross-off keeps it clean. For a beginner spot, 4ft is getting solid, but with that energy, it’ll have some power.
Monday 27th July is glassy and excellent, with 4ft SW sets in the morning and strong energy at 1236. The standout of the week for sure.
Tuesday 28th July morning hits 5ft with a 18-second period and combined energy of 1627 – very strong. It’s cross-off but winds pick up to 12 mph in the afternoon. For beginners, 5ft is too big. For kite surfing, that ENE wind and solid swell might be more interesting than paddle surfing.
Wednesday 29th July stays strong, offshore winds, glassy in the afternoon, with 5ft SW and energy at 1275. Expert territory.
From Thursday 30th July the quality drops: cross-on winds, smaller swell, period drops to 14 seconds, energy down to the 800s. Still surfable but not as crisp.
Friday 31st July picks up again: clean cross-off, 4ft SW, 14 seconds, energy at 607. A solid finish to the month.
Saturday 1st August is clean and consistent around 4ft from the SW, combined energy around 410. Decent but not exciting.
Sunday 2nd August onwards, the swell fades to around 2ft and onshore winds take over. There’s a small window Monday 3rd August morning with glassy conditions, but it’s weak.
Tuesday 4th and Wednesday 5th August see a little bump with clean offshore winds and 2-3ft SSW swell, but nothing special. Long-range looks iffy but we’ll keep an eye on it.
Best bets: Friday 24th July morning, Sunday 26th July afternoon, and Monday 27th July. Those are the standouts. For experts, Tuesday 28th and Wednesday 29th July mornings are worth paddling out.
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.
