Quatro Casas, which translates to "Four Houses" in English, is a popular surf spot known for its right-hand reef and semi-pointbreak. This location is nicely sheltered from wind by the kelp and bluffs, making it a decent choice for surfers looking for a reliable place to catch some waves. The spot can get crowded due to its popularity, especially during the summer months when many SoCal longboarders and campers flock to the area. The surf generally picks up a lot of south swell, but it also breaks during winter with clean northwest pulses, providing a consistent experience.

The waves at Quatro Casas range from head high to double overhead (about 1.5 to 2.5 meters). It handles swell sizes from 5ft to 8ft (around 1.5 to 2.5 meters) and works best with swell coming from the south, southwest, and northwest directions. The breaks here are mainly right, and the bottom is rocky, so make sure to be cautious. You can expect the best conditions with northeast winds and during low to mid tides. This is a fun, playful spot that caters to all abilities from beginners to experts, especially with a shortboard, funboard, or longboard.

Access to Quatro Casas is pretty simple, which makes it easy for surfers to get in and out. The paddle out is usually an easy one, especially next to the jetty. Just keep in mind that you’ll likely be sharing the lineup since the consistency draws quite a crowd. The local vibe is generally friendly, so don't hesitate to chat with others in the water. Seasonally, the spot can hold up well year-round, but it’s typically best from March to October.
