The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya from the beach.

We’ve got a bit of a slow start for Conto Springs, but the second half of this sixteen-day run looks like it’s gonna dish up some proper slabs for those who can handle the size. Right now, it’s a write-off. Thursday the 3rd is blown out and messy with a strong, onshore northwesterly, and Friday the 4th brings a big 16ft SW swell, but the wind is a crummy cross-shore. The water temp is sitting at a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, around 65°, so you won't need a full winter suit.

Friday afternoon the 4th cleans up a bit. The swell is still a solid 15ft from the SW, with a moderate period of 14 seconds, and the wind swings to a light cross-shore breeze. The wave energy is right up there (9651), so you’ll feel the ocean’s pulse. This one is a maybe, but it’s still marginal.

Saturday the 5th is another one to skip. Rain and onshore wind ruining what good swell there is. Then Sunday the 6th starts to show some promise. The morning is clean with a cross-offshore SSE breeze and a 13ft SW swell. But the standout is Sunday afternoon. We’re talking a 15ft SW swell with a *very* long period of 17 seconds, combined with a clean, offshore wind from the SSE. The energy is pumping at 11901. This is a big, powerful groundswell that will be reeling down that reef. That long period will make it wall up nicely here at Conto Springs. Keep an eye on the tide, but this is the first real highlight.

Now, Monday the 7th keeps the quality high. Morning has a 13ft SW swell with 16-second period, and light cross-offshore wind. Excellent conditions, but this is big, solid surf – definitely expert territory. Tuesday the 8th is another cracker. A 13ft SW swell with a 16-second period in the morning, and the energy is massive at 12608. Light offshore wind from the SE will have these waves looking like glass. The afternoon is even bigger period-wise, hitting 18 seconds with the same 13ft swell. This is the absolute peak. If you can paddle into these, it will be the session of the season.

The swell starts to ease back Wednesday the 9th, dropping to 12ft and then 10ft with cleaner conditions, but the magic run is over by the 10th.

There’s a bit of a lull for a few days after that. The 11th and 12th of September are a mess. The 12th even brings a sharp 16ft spike from the WSW, but the onshore wind kills it dead.

The following week sees a return of solid, manageable swell. The 13th of September looks good – a 13ft SW swell with light cross-shore winds. The 14th and 15th are cleaner, with 12ft to 10ft SW swell and a nice offshore wind, great for the intermediate crew who missed the big stuff.

To wrap it up, the absolute standouts are Tuesday the 8th and Sunday the 6th. Tuesday the 8th with that clean, glassy morning and 13ft SW groundswell is the best on offer. Sunday the 6th afternoon is giving it a serious run for its money, though.

Stay safe out there.
Rusty.

Information about the Conto Springs Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Conto Springs provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Conto Springs can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Conto Springs 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 (Conto Springs) 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 Conto Springs 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.
