The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here with the outlook. We’ve got a run of clean, surfable days ahead, and one morning that really lights up the radar.
The standout is Friday the 11th at Quatro-Once (411). Friday morning is serving up a 4ft SW groundswell with a long 16-second period. The combined swell energy is solid at 773, and it’s dead glassy with an ESE breeze at just 3 mph. The water temp is 85°, which is a touch warmer than average for the time of year. This is the session to aim for: clean, consistent, and plenty of push. Friday afternoon holds up too, still glassy with 4ft of the same long-period SW swell.
Saturday the 12th is clean in the morning with 3ft SW swell and a 14-second period, glassy winds from the SSE. Energy drops to 498, but it’s still a fun, manageable size. By Saturday afternoon, the wind turns onshore and it gets messy. Sunday the 13th through Monday the 14th mornings are clean with light offshore breezes, but the swell drops to around 3ft to 1ft – still rideable on a longboard if you’re patient.
Tuesday the 15th morning bumps back up slightly to 2ft SW with a very long 18-second period, glassy conditions from the NE. The energy is at 367. The longer period will give the waves some extra shape, but at this size, it’s still pretty forgiving.
From the 16th to the 18th things go flat and choppy with onshore winds, so plan around that. Then a real sleeper shows up for Monday the 21st. Early morning at Quatro-Once has 3ft SW swell with an 18-second period, glassy winds from the WSW, and combined energy of 637. That’s a quality, long-period session almost two weeks out, so pencil it in but don’t count on it just yet.
After that, the 22nd onward is a mixed bag with onshore breezes and small surf. The 23rd morning has a glassy window with 2ft from the SW at 15 seconds, and the 24th morning is clean with a cross-off breeze. Friday the 25th morning is glassy with 2ft, and that afternoon goes dead calm, but the swell is fading. The last few days of the run fade out with poor wind and low energy.
Bottom line: Friday the 11th is your best shot. Get out there.
Rusty.

Information about the Quatro-Once (411) Surf forecast
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. Our Quatro-Once (411) surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Quatro-Once (411)) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
