The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Quatro-Once (411). It’s a point break, exposed to the SW swell, and it’s a consistent wave that’s good for the beginners. The water is sitting at 84.6° right now, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a bath.
The first surf worth mentioning kicks off on Thursday afternoon, the 3rd of September. It’s a small start with a 2.6ft SW swell pushing in at a hefty 15 seconds. The energy is moderate (811), but the wind is light onshore and there’s risk of a thunderstorm making it look messy. It’s a gentle intro.
Now, Friday morning the 4th of September is where things start to clean up. The swell is up to 3.6ft, still from the SW, and that period has stretched to a very long 17 seconds. The wave energy is climbing into the moderate zone (1042). The wind is glassy, and for a good surfer, the conditions are excellent. It’s a proper groundswell set-up, so expect long, clean lines. The water is still that warm anomaly.
Saturday morning the 5th of September is the standout. The swell is 5.9ft from the SW, with a period of 16 seconds. The energy is strong (1592), and the wind is glassy again. This is the best on offer – clean, powerful, and a wave that will hold its shape beautifully. It’s getting a bit stout for beginners, though.
Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th of September hold in with 4.6ft and 3.9ft SW swells respectively, with glassy mornings. The energy is stepping down (918, 752), but the conditions are very good. Periods are still in the 14-15 second range, so it’s quality.
After that, the energy drops a bit and the consistency gets patchy. There are a few days around the 10th and 11th of September with 3.9ft to 4.6ft SW swell and glassy mornings, but the afternoons get wind-affected. The energy is moderate (920, 1001). Then we hit a lull around the 12th and 13th of September – the swell is below 3.3ft, and the energy is weak (296). It’s a couple of days of small, slow waves.
The tail end of the run, from the 16th to the 18th of September, picks up a little again. The 17th of September looks like a decent morning with a 2.9ft SW swell, a 14-second period, and clean cross-offshore winds. The energy is moderate (662). The 18th of September has a 21-second period, which is very long, but the swell is only 2.0ft, making it a bit of a tease.
The real highlight is that Saturday morning, 5th of September. That’s your session. Get on it.
