Alright folks, Rusty here with the long-range look at Conto Springs. We’ve got a real mixed bag over the next couple of weeks, but the first few days are where the magic happens, so let’s dive right in.
The water is sitting at 67°F which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s a nice little bonus when you’re waiting for the next set.
Right off the bat, Tuesday morning is a proper standout. We’ve got a solid 12ft SW groundswell with a very long 16 second period pumping in. The energy is strong at 6523. The wind is light and offshore from the SE, keeping that reef break clean and lined up. This is serious, powerful stuff for expert surfers only – if you’re not confident, sit this one out. The crowd factor is something to keep in mind; it can get busy here, so get in early.
Tuesday afternoon holds onto the swell at 10ft from the SW with the same long period, staying clean under a gentle offshore breeze. Still excellent for experienced crew.
Wednesday morning gets a little trickier with a light onshore wind from the NNW, making it a bit marginal. But Wednesday afternoon swings back into the highlight reel with 12ft from the WSW and 15 second periods, and the wind goes completely glassy. Dead calm. That’s a rare treat, and it’ll be pure perfection for anyone who can handle the size. The energy is still pumping at 5347.
Thursday turns ugly fast. A strong W wind blows cross-onshore, making a mess of the 10ft swell. Friday drops in size to 6ft and 4ft, getting a bit cleaner with cross-off winds, but it’s not the main event.
Now, Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th are real bright spots again. Saturday morning goes glassy with a 8ft SW swell – that’s clean and inviting for experienced surfers. Then Sunday afternoon is the absolute standout of the whole forecast. We’re looking at a massive 12ft SW groundswell with an incredibly long 18 second period, and the energy is through the roof at 8440. The wind is offshore again. This will be a heavy, powerful, and very long period swell. For a reef break like Conto, that means big, grinding walls. It’s for experts only, and it’s the pick of the bunch. The crowd factor will be high on a wave like that.
Monday the 13th keeps it going with another 12ft SW swell and offshore wind. Incredible run of days here.
Then we hit a rough patch. From Tuesday the 14th through to Tuesday the 22nd, things go sideways. The wind turns onshore or cross-onshore, mostly fresh to strong breezes, and the swell gets messy with poor conditions. There’s a dangerous spike on Thursday the 16th with 16ft and 18ft swell, and again on Friday the 17th with 18ft, but the wind is howling and it’s just a washing machine. Not worth it for surfing. A few days around the 22nd show some promise with cleaner conditions and smaller 8ft swell, but we’re a long way out for that.
So to wrap it up: get on it from this Tuesday morning right through to Monday the 13th. The absolute best is Sunday the 12th afternoon. After that, it’s a waiting game for the next clean window.
Rusty.

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.
