The Lowdown

G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s break down what’s coming up at Conto Springs.

We’ve got a big, long swell window opening up here, and it’s a proper groundswell from the SW with a very long 16-second period. The water is sitting at 67°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a solid 4° above the long-term average, so you might not need a wetsuit if you’re tough enough.

The action kicks off Wednesday afternoon, 19 August. The swell is already pumping at 15 ft, and the combined energy is in the strong zone at 10246. It’s a WSW wind blowing 12 mph, so it’s cross-shore, but there’s a cross-chop that’ll make it messy. The tide is questionable, so it’s more of a look-and-see session. Still, that’s a lot of water moving.

Thursday 20 August is similar, with the swell dropping a touch to 13 ft but still holding that 16-second period. The morning has a cross-onshore breeze at 9 mph, which is choppy, but by the afternoon the wind eases to 6 mph from the SW, and it’s a light cross-shore with small ripples. The energy is still moderate to strong at 7073 and 6907.

Friday 21 August is a standout. The morning is glassy – wind from the W at just 3 mph, and the swell is 12 ft with a 15-second period, which is long and powerful. The combined energy is 5267, solid moderate. Conditions are exceptional for expert surfers – this is the best on offer. The afternoon holds up with a light cross-shore, but the glass is the real winner.

Saturday 22 August stays clean. The swell is 10 ft in the morning, dropping to 8 ft in the afternoon, with a 16-second period still. The wind is cross-off from the S and SSW, 6-9 mph, and the energy is 3745 and 2944. Excellent for experienced surfers, but it’s a bit heavy for the everyday punter.

Sunday 23 August is a bit more wind – 12 mph from the S, but it’s cross-off, so it stays clean. The swell is 10 ft with a 13-second period in the morning, then picks back to 16 seconds in the afternoon with energy up to 6294. The morning is a bit short-period, but the afternoon looks better.

From Monday 24 August things start to sour. The wind swings onshore from the NW, blowing 3-9 mph, and the swell is 8 ft to 8 ft with a 13-second period. The energy drops to 2549 and 1892, and it’s a poor outlook. Tuesday 25 August is worse – onshore wind at 16 mph, swell 6 ft to 8 ft, and the energy is low. The conditions are poor. That’s a gap of a few days with no real reason to paddle out.

Then on Wednesday 26 August, it fires back up. The swell jumps to 15 ft from the WSW with a 17-second period, and the energy is strong at 11863 and 11022. The wind is cross-shore from the WNW and SW, 9-12 mph, but there’s a cross-chop and light rain. It’s a marginal session but the size is there.

Thursday 27 August has a 12 ft swell with a 15-second period, but the wind is 16 mph from the SSE, cross-off, keeping it clean. Energy is 4881 and 3526. It’s decent for experienced crew.

Friday 28 August morning is a nice little window – offshore wind from the SE at 6 mph, swell 5 ft with a 12-second period, and energy at 1375. It’s clean and excellent for experienced surfers. The afternoon gets more wind.

From Saturday 29 August into the first week of September, the pattern is messy. There’s a mix of onshore winds and cross-onshore breezes, with swell sizes between 3 ft and 10 ft. The long periods drop a bit, and the energy is moderate. The standout late in the run is Wednesday 2 September morning – glassy conditions with a 10 ft swell from the WSW, 13-second period, and energy at 3207. Excellent for experienced surfers. The afternoon holds clean at 12 ft with a cross-off breeze.

Overall, the best of the lot is Friday 21 August morning – glassy, 12 ft, long-period SW groundswell, and a combined energy of 5267. That’s a proper session if you handle the size. The second standout is the Wednesday 2 September morning glass-off. The rest is a mixed bag of big swells and onshore winds, so pick your windows carefully.

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.
