The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, let's talk about what's coming up for Conto Springs.

We've got a serious run of swell on the cards, but it's a mixed bag of conditions. The water is sitting at 66°F and that's a good 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year, so the ocean feels a lot more like a midsummer’s day. The next few days are the real deal for experienced surfers, with a big, powerful groundswell from the south-west.

The standout, without a doubt, is Sunday the 30th of August. The early morning is looking absolutely magic. There’s a big 12ft south-west swell, a very long period of 18 seconds, and the wind is dead calm – glassy. The energy on that swell is a massive 6707 (very strong). This is going to be a heavy, powerful wave at this reef, perfect for the crew that knows what they’re doing. The swell is over 8ft, so this is expert territory only. It’s a serious wave, but if you can handle it, it will be the session of the trip.

The week leading up to that is also solid. Saturday the 29th has a 8ft swell in the morning, but with a very long period of 19 seconds. That’s a long wait between sets, but the shape should be unreal with a gentle offshore breeze. The energy is 5580 (very strong). Afternoon picks up to 10ft with a clean cross-off wind. Good, but Sunday is the king.

Now, the first couple of days, Thursday the 27th and Friday the 28th, are bringing in the swell but with a strong offshore wind. The waves will be big – 12ft to 13ft – but clean. The energy is very strong (6356 and 5783). It’s surfable, but it’s raw. The period is a solid 14-15 seconds.

Then things get gnarly. From Monday the 31st of August through to Thursday the 3rd of September, the breeze swings onshore and cross-on from the west, making a mess of the big swell. We’re looking at 10ft to 15ft of lumpy, choppy, poor surf. This is a stretch of days you’d want to give a miss if you’re paddling, but if you’ve got a kite, the strong wind and big swell might be exactly what you’re after.

There’s a bit of a reprieve on Friday the 4th of September with a clean cross-off breeze and a 10ft swell, but it’s not the same quality.

The real second standout is much further out, on Monday the 7th of September. The morning is clean with a light cross-off breeze and an 12ft south-west swell with a 15-second period. The energy is 5907 (very strong). That’s a promising one, but it’s a long way off, so keep an eye on the forecasts.

The rest of the second week looks like it’s going to be a battle with onshore winds again, so the magic will be rare.

For the best of it, you’re looking at Sunday the 30th of August at Conto Springs. It’s a serious, powerful reef break that can get crowded, so get there early. That’s the one.

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.
