Quatro-Once (411) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Righto, grab ya board, I'm Rusty, and I'm looking at the charts for a spot that's got its name from a little piece of paradise, Quatro-Once (411). It's a point break and it's about to get a nice, long run of solid SSW groundswell. This is a consistent setup, meaning it rarely goes flat, and with the swell direction lining up perfectly with what this point loves, we're in for a treat.

The water temp is sitting right around average for this time of year, so nothin’ freaky there.

We kick off Tuesday morning, July 7th, with clean 5ft surf out of the SSW. The period is a massive 18 seconds – that's proper groundswell, meaning plenty of energy moving through (1599 combined energy), with long lulls between sets. It’ll be a bit of a wait between waves, but the ones that come are gonna be juicy. The wind is a light offshore from the NNE, so it’ll be clean right from the get-go. This is excellent surf for those with a bit of experience. It's a good look, and crowds are possible here, so keep your eyes peeled.

Tuesday afternoon stays clean with a slight cross-offshore breeze, as the swell bumps up to 6ft with the same long 18-second period (1775 energy). It's still excellent for experienced surfers.

Wednesday morning, July 8th, is another beauty: 5ft, 16-second swell, light offshore wind from the NNE. It's clean, consistent for the point, and a fantastic session (1255 energy). Wednesday afternoon, though, the onshore wind from the SW rolls in with a risk of thunderstorms, making things a bit messy.

Thursday morning, July 9th, is glassy – dead calm wind – and the swell drops a touch to 4ft with a 15-second period (759 energy). This is a standout. Glassy conditions and a long-period SSW swell on a point break that loves that direction? That’s gonna be silky smooth.

Friday, July 10th, keeps the magic going. Both morning and afternoon are glassy, with 4ft, 15-second swell (611 and 784 energy). “Expect very good surf conditions” says it all. This is the peak of the run for clean, user-friendly waves.

Saturday, July 11th, the swell pumps back up to 5ft with a 16-second period (over 1000 energy) and it’s glassy all day. This is another big standout – excellent conditions for experienced surfers, with that point handling the long period beautifully.

Sunday, July 12th, starts glassy with 5ft swell (821 energy), but the afternoon gets a bit cross-shore, losing some of that morning’s sparkle.

The middle of next week, from Monday the 13th through to Thursday the 16th, the swell backs off to 3-4ft. There’s still some clean windows, especially Monday afternoon and Wednesday morning when it goes glassy, but it’s smaller. The energy drops into the 400-600 range.

Then, look here, Monday the 20th of July, the swell fires up again. We’re looking at 4ft in the morning and 5ft in the afternoon, both with a 17-18 second period and glassy or near-glassy wind (1059 and 1194 energy). This is a second-week standout – excellent surf for those who know what they’re doing, and a sign that the ocean is keeping its promise. Tuesday the 21st stays clean with cross-offshore wind and 5ft swell.

So, the best of the best? Thursday morning the 9th for that glassy, 4ft perfection, and Saturday the 11th for the power and size. The whole first week is a cracker. The second week looks promising too, especially Monday the 20th, but with it being further out, we just gotta keep an eye on it.

Right, I’m out. Time to wax up. Rusty.
