The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what we’ve got on the menu for Quatro-Once (411). This is a classic point break setup, consistently on the menu, and it’s a beginner-friendly wave. The water’s feeling pretty average for this time of year, nothing wild on the temp front.
Right off the bat, the start is a bit slow. The first few days, Sunday the 13th and Monday the 14th, are nothing to write home about. We’ve got some tiny, weak swell around 1ft to 3ft from the SW, with a long period but barely any energy behind it (combined energy around 287 to 341). It’s a bit touch and go with the conditions. A couple of glassy windows pop up, especially Sunday afternoon when it goes dead calm. That’s our first real peek at something clean, but the size is just too small to get excited about.
Tuesday the 15th is where things start to wake up. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the SW, period is a solid 18 seconds, and we get clean, gentle offshore winds from the NE all day. Energy jumps to 713 in the afternoon. That’s a proper upgrade. The wave will have some shape and push to it, and with offshore wind, the faces will be clean. That Tuesday afternoon is our first standout – a great little window for a longboard or a fun mid-length. The crowd situation is a “sometimes”, so you might have a few friends out, but nothing too hectic.
Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th are the real gems of this run. Swell holds at 3ft to 4ft from the SW, period around 14 to 16 seconds. The wind goes glassy or very light offshore. Energy sits in the 539 to 791 range. The mornings are clear and crisp, the afterns have a risk of storms, but the wind stays calm. This is as clean as it gets. The wave will be peeling nicely down the point. For a beginner-friendly spot, this is a top-shelf forecast. This is the best on offer.
Friday the 18th holds some decent morning shape with glassy conditions, but by the afternoon a light cross-onshore breeze messes with the surface. The weekend stays in the mix, with Sunday the 20th looking particularly good early with glassy conditions and a long-period (19s) SW swell, energy at 666. Again, that point will love that long period.
The second week, you’re looking at more of the same size range, 2ft to 3ft, with some clean windows Monday the 21st morning and Tuesday the 22nd afternoon. The end of the week gets a bit messy. Thursday the 24th and Friday the 25th see a jump in size (up to 6ft) but it’s short-period, onshore junk. That’s more of a windy, choppy mess – not for the paddle crew. That late September run (26th-28th) looks to settle back down, with Sunday the 27th offering another glassy morning and 2ft of clean, long-period groundswell. That late-weekend call is a bit far out, so treat it as promising but not locked in.
To sum it up: if you can get out Tuesday afternoon through Thursday of this week, you’ll score the cleanest, most user-friendly waves. The point will be running smooth.
Rusty out.

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.

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.
