The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve got a good look at the coming swell for Conto Springs. Strap in, because the next couple of weeks are going to be a wild ride, with some absolute magic and some periods where it’s going to be a total washout.

The pattern kicks off with a solid pulse of SW groundswell that’s going to have the place humming. Right from the start on Sunday the 6th of September, we’re looking at a clean 12ft SW swell with a very long period of 18 seconds pushing through in the afternoon. The wind is a fresh offshore, which will keep the faces smooth. The energy is pumping hard at 8478 (moderate to strong). This is a proper reef setup, so that long period will be drawing in nicely, but it’s a big swell for the average punter. Anything over 8ft is for the experienced crew only, and this is sitting right in the expert zone. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 65°F.

Monday the 7th of September keeps the fire burning. The morning is a standout with a clean 12ft SW swell and a 16-second period, with a moderate offshore breeze. The energy is still massive at 6512 (moderate to strong). This is about as good as it gets for the experienced surfer, with clean, powerful lines. The afternoon picks up a fresher breeze, but it’s still offshore. The crowds can be around here sometimes, but when the quality is this high, you’ll want to be in the water early.

Tuesday the 8th of September is the real peak in this first run. The morning sees a 13ft SW swell with a 16-second period, and a moderate offshore breeze. The energy is a massive 8528 (moderate to strong). This is heavy, powerful, and perfect for the reef. It’s big, it’s clean, and it’s only for the experts. The afternoon stays solid with 12ft and a fresh breeze, but the morning is the clear winner.

After that, the quality drops off a cliff. Wednesday the 9th of September the swell drops to 10ft, and the wind goes cross-off, with a big drop in energy to 4496. The afternoon goes glassy, which is a positive, but the swell is a bit weaker at 3868. The next few days are a write-off. Thursday and Friday are mushy, onshore, and ugly. We’ve got a long gap of poor conditions from Thursday the 10th through to Saturday the 12th, with onshore winds and messy, blown-out surf. The swell is still there, but it’s all wind and chop.

Then, a glimmer of hope. Sunday the 13th of September sees a new pulse of 12ft WSW swell with a 14-second period. The wind is a clean cross-off, and the afternoon session is rated as exceptional for experts. The energy is back up to 5381 (moderate to strong). This is a solid window, but it’s short-lived.

Monday the 14th of September turns back onshore, and we’re in the doldrums again until a real redemption moment on Tuesday the 15th of September. The afternoon session there is a beauty: a 10ft SW swell, an 18-second period, and a moderate offshore breeze. The energy is cranking at 6300 (moderate to strong). This is another expert-only window that will have the reef firing.

The rest of the second week is a mixed bag with a lot of onshore slop, but the real story is the last few days. From Thursday the 18th of September onwards, the swell goes absolutely mental. We’re looking at 20ft to 21ft swells, and the energy hits 28118 (strong to very strong). The problem is, the wind is a strong cross-onshore, making it a total washing machine. The break is simply too big to handle, and the wind is ruining it. This is more of a tow-in or kite-surfing spectacle than a paddle session. The forecast is less certain this far out, but if it cleans up, it’s a monster.

For the best on offer, you’ve got to lock in the Monday morning of the 7th of September, and the Tuesday afternoon of the 15th. Both are clean, powerful, and expert-only. The first few days of the forecast are the most reliable.

Rusty.

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.

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.
