Quatro-Once (411) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya from the shores of Quatro-Once (411).

We’ve got a solid run of groundswell on the way, and this point break is looking like the place to be. The first week is where the real action is, with a prolonged pulse of long-period SW swell that’s gonna light up this exposed reef. The energy is serious, hitting a massive 1238 (moderate to strong) early on.

Monday the 27th kicks things off with a clean 4ft SW groundswell, pumping in at a long 16 seconds. The wind is glassy in the morning, making for excellent conditions despite the risk of a thunderstorm. This is prime for experienced surfers – not a beginner wave. The afternoon sees the wind turn onshore, making it a bit of a washout, but the morning is the real deal.

The swell builds through Tuesday the 28th, hitting 5ft, but the wind is messy with a cross-onshore flow. It’s a bit of a wait for things to clean up. Then Wednesday the 29th is the standout of the first week. We’ve got 5ft of SW swell, still with a 16-second period, and the wind goes offshore in the morning from the NE, cleaning it right up. The afternoon turns glassy again. This is the day to circle. The energy is still pumping over 1200.

Thursday the 30th is a little smaller at 5ft, but the morning is glassy with a light easterly breeze. The swell period drops to 14 seconds, but it’s still a quality wave. The energy is still hanging in there at 770 (moderate). The crowd factor is a ‘sometimes’ here, so you might have some company on the peak, but it’s worth it.

The swell begins to fade from Friday the 31st onward, dropping under 3ft by the weekend. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing too wild.

There’s a bit of a lull mid-week, but don’t write it off. The second week picks up again. Friday the 7th of August brings a new pulse of SSW groundswell, 3ft to 3ft, but with a very long 18-second period. The mornings are glassy, and the energy climbs back to 687 (moderate). This is a promising one for the point, as the long period should wrap in nicely.

The weekend of the 9th of August is looking good too. Sunday the 9th has 4ft to 5ft of SSW swell, with a morning cross-offshore breeze and a solid afternoon offshore wind from the NNE at 9 mph. That’s a clean, lined-up wave for the experienced crew.

So, to sum it up: Wednesday the 29th is the clear winner for the first week – big, clean, glassy. For the second week, keep an eye on Friday the 7th and Sunday the 9th of August. They’re looking promising but a bit further out, so the call is less certain. Still, there’s plenty of swell on the menu.

Stay safe out there.
