The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu.
We’ve got a solid run of surf kicking off this Friday and stretching deep into the month. The standout feature is a long-period SW groundswell that settles in from the get-go, giving us clean, lined-up waves at Quatro-Once (411). That first Friday morning is looking special – glassy conditions with a 4ft SW swell rolling in at a very long 17 seconds. The combined energy is a strong 1042, so there’s plenty of push for a point break like this. Water temp is sitting at 84°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. If you’re a beginner, this is a great spot to be, but keep in mind this is a consistent break and crowds are possible.
Friday afternoon the wind swings onshore, so it gets a bit messy. Saturday morning, however, is the real gem of the whole 16-day span. Winds go dead calm, glassy as a mirror, and the swell bumps up to 6ft SW with a 16-second period. The combined energy hits 1592 – that’s a powerful, meaty groundswell. For experienced surfers, this is about as good as it gets here. The sets will be well-spaced, making paddling out less of a hassle. With that much size and power, it’s not a beginner wave anymore.
Sunday and Monday keep the good times rolling with clean, glassy mornings and consistent 4ft-5ft SW swell, still with decent period. The energy stays moderate to strong, sitting between 775 and 938. The winds stay light or offshore through the mornings, keeping the surface smooth. Tuesday’s early session sees a smaller 3ft SSW swell but with an 18-second period – very long lines, so the point will handle it beautifully.
The second week settles into a more routine rhythm. Mornings remain the call, with waist-to-chest high SW swells and clean conditions. From the 11th to the 14th, you’re looking at 3ft to 4ft sets, mostly glassy or with light offshore winds. A small lull hits around Monday 14th into Tuesday 15th, with waves dropping to 2ft-2ft – still rideable for the patient crew on a longboard, but nothing to get excited about. Things pick up again on Wednesday morning the 16th with a cleaner 3ft SW swell.
Looking further out, the 17th brings a return to very good morning conditions with a 3ft SW swell and clean offshore flow. The 18th and 19th look smaller again, but the 20th Saturday morning is worth a mention – a very long 20-second period SW swell at 2ft, glassy winds, and that ultra-smooth energy will make it a dream for logging or a performance board if you’ve got the patience.
Overall, the first Saturday morning is the absolute standout. After that, the early sessions through the first week are your best bet for consistent, clean surf. Later in the run, keep an eye on the long-period days – they’ll deliver quality over quantity.

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.
