The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk Quatro-Once (411). It’s a point, and the water’s sitting at 29°, which is a touch warmer than the norm for this time of year. Not a huge deal, but it’s there.
We’ve got some fun waves on the way, but nothing massive. The real highlight is mid-week.
Sunday morning is clean and glassy, 0.8m from the southwest, 13-second period. Energy is weak at 341. It’s a slow, easy start. The afternoon goes a bit flat.
Monday drops to 0.4-0.5m, but the period jumps to 18-19 seconds. That’s proper groundswell. Glassy conditions make it a pure longboard day. Energy is still weak.
Tuesday afternoon is the first real push – 0.9m, 18 seconds, clean cross-offshore wind. Energy hits 656. That’s a fun one.
Wednesday is the standout. Morning has 1.1m, 16 seconds, with a gentle offshore wind. Clean, lined-up, and energy at 733. The afternoon goes glassy with 1.0m. Best sessions of the window, no question.
Thursday morning holds at 1.0m, glassy, 14 seconds. Still good. Afternoon gets a bit onshore, so get out early.
Then it fades. Friday is small and gets messier. The days after are pretty marginal – small, onshore, and choppy.
Thursday the 24th sees a pulse of short-period swell (7 seconds) mixed with onshore winds. That’s poor. By Friday the 25th, it jumps to 2.5m, but it’s still that short, wind-blown stuff. Not good for a point. Energy is strong at 758, but the quality is awful. That’s for experts only, and even then, it’s not worth it.
We get a clean bounce back on Sunday the 27th. Morning has 0.8m, 13 seconds, with cross-offshore winds. Clean and fun, energy at 572.
So, your call: Wednesday and Thursday morning are the pick. Clean, good period, moderate energy. The bigger swell on the 25th is a write-off – too short-period and blown out.
Crowds can be a thing here sometimes, so if you can get out early on Wednesday, do it.
It’s not always perfect, but it’s worth checking.

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.
