The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a solid run of swell on the way for Conto Springs, but it’s a bit of a mixed bag with the wind, so you’ll need to pick your moments. This spot is exposed to the southwest, and the ideal direction lines up nicely with what’s coming, which is a good start. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.

We kick off on Tuesday the 1st with a 8ft SW swell, but the wind is sloppy cross-onshore both morning and afternoon, so the surf is choppy and messy. Not worth paddling out. Wednesday the 2nd is more promising: morning has a 12ft SW swell with a moderate cross-shore chop, which is rideable but not great. The real standout is Wednesday afternoon – the wind swings cross-offshore, the swell holds at 12ft from the SW with a 13-second period, and it cleans right up. That’s your first good session: solid size, clean faces, and very consistent. Moderate wave energy (3816).

Thursday the 3rd turns ugly early with a 13ft SW swell and strong onshore wind; forget it. Friday morning the 4th sees the swell jump to 18ft SW with a 16-second period – that’s big, powerful, and too big for this break even with favourable wind. Leave it for the experts if they’re game, but it’s a near-gale on Saturday the 5th, so no go.

There’s a big lull in quality from Saturday the 5th right through to late in the second week. Winds are mostly cross-onshore or stronger, and the surf is either too big or blown out. Sunday the 6th through Friday the 11th is a write-off despite plenty of swell – just ugly.

Then we get a serious highlight: Tuesday morning the 8th. It’s glassy – glassy! The swell is 13ft from the SW with a 16-second period, and the energy is strong (8217). This is a reef break, and with that long period it’s going to bend in nicely, offering proper shaped waves. It’s big, so only for experienced surfers, but the conditions are exceptional. Tuesday afternoon stays clean with a cross-offshore breeze and 12ft swell. That morning session is the absolute best on offer across the whole outlook.

After that, the wind turns against us again from Wednesday the 9th through Saturday the 13th, with onshore and cross-onshore winds wrecking what could be good swell. Sunday the 14th and Monday the 15th see the swell drop back to 7ft to 8ft from the SW, and the wind is light or cross-offshore, so the surf cleans up. It’s smaller and more manageable, with clean conditions – a good option for intermediates. The period holds at 12 to 14 seconds, so still some push. Wednesday the 16th winds shift onshore again, not great.

To wrap it up: the standout is Tuesday morning the 8th – glassy, 13ft SW groundswell at Conto Springs. That’s the one to circle. The next best is Wednesday afternoon the 2nd – clean 12ft surf. The second week looks more promising than the first, actually, with cleaner days on the 14th and 15th for smaller waves.

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.
