The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
First up, Conto Springs is looking at a wild 16 days. The water temp is 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a little bonus.
We start off with a solid event on Friday the 4th. There’s a big SW groundswell running—16 ft in the morning, dropping to 15 ft by arvo. The swell energy is pumping hard (8460 to 10012). The problem? It’s a cross-shore wind, moderate to gentle, so it’s messy. The tide looks off, too. It’s surfable, but not the best that’s coming.
Saturday the 5th is a write-off. Onshore winds, rain, poor conditions. Don’t bother.
Now, Sunday the 6th is where it gets good. Morning has a fresh offshore from the SSE with a 13 ft SW swell and strong energy (7006). By the afternoon, the swell drops to 10 ft but that period jumps to 18 seconds—that’s a very long period groundswell. At Conto Springs, a reef break, that’s a dream. It’s clean and the energy is massive (8859). This is a standout.
Monday the 7th keeps the quality up. Offshore winds, clean, with 12 ft SW swell and periods of 16 seconds. The energy is strong (6757/5936). This is exceptional for experienced surfers. Still a top pick.
But the absolute best of the whole run? Tuesday the 8th. Morning and afternoon see a 13 ft SW swell with 17-second periods and consistent offshore winds from the SE. The energy is enormous (9768/9817). The forecast scores are the highest of the window. This is the day to call in sick. Pure quality.
Wednesday the 9th is still solid, with clean conditions and a 10 ft SW swell, but the energy drops off (4829/3891). The quality is still good for experienced folks.
Thursday the 10th goes downhill with a cross-onshore wind and poor conditions. Friday the 11th offers a brief respite: glassy conditions in the morning with a 6 ft WSW swell at 20 seconds. That’s clean but small. The afternoon turns onshore.
Then we hit a bad stretch. Saturday the 12th through Sunday the 13th is hammered by strong winds, rain, and messy seas—no good for surfing. Monday the 14th sees a massive 18 ft WSW swell (energy at 12555) but the winds are cross-offshore and moderate. It’s clean enough for experts, but it’s big and powerful. Tuesday the 15th has a small window with glassy conditions in the morning and a 10 ft SW swell—clean but the energy is moderate (3824). Not a standout, just a nice option.
Wednesday the 16th brings moderate offshore winds and a 7 ft SW swell with 12-second period. It’s clean and manageable. Then Thursday the 17th has a 13 ft SW swell but the winds turn cross-onshore, so the quality drops.
Friday the 18th and Saturday the 19th are trashed by strong onshore and cross-shore winds again. The last few days are a write-off. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing in those strong winds.
Overall, the clear standout is Tuesday the 8th—that’s your best bet. The whole first week has quality, but the 8th is the peak. Keep an eye on Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th as well.
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.

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.
