The Lowdown

G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Conto Springs over the next couple of weeks. This spot is a very consistent reef break, exposed to the WSW swell direction. Right off the bat, there's a bit of a lull with no standout surf on offer now, so we're looking at a gap until Sunday afternoon, September 6th, when things kick off.

Sunday the 6th of September sees the first proper swell rolling in. We've got a solid 10ft of SW groundswell, with a very long period of 18 seconds, and a fresh offshore wind from the SE. The combined energy is a powerful 8504 (moderate to strong). The water temp here is 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. This is a big, clean swell but it's not the pick of the week. The real standout is going to be Tuesday morning, September 8th. That morning you've got a 13ft SW swell, 17 second period, and a moderate offshore wind from the ESE. The energy is massive at 8845 (strong), and the conditions are rated as exceptional for expert surfers. This is the big one for the first week – big, clean, and powerful. It's for experienced crew only though; 13ft is well over 8ft, so it's expert territory. Monday the 7th morning is also a solid option with a 12ft SW groundswell and gentle offshore SE winds, and energy at 6512. The afternoon of Monday the 7th gets a fresh SSE wind, making it a bit more challenging.

The swell holds but starts to lose some of its magic after Tuesday. Wednesday the 9th has a 10ft SW swell with a cross-offshore wind in the morning, and then in the afternoon the wind goes glassy – a light air from the SSW – which will make the 10ft swell clean and smooth, but the energy drops to 3437 (moderate). It's still good for experienced surfers. Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th see the wind turning onshore and the quality drops away. Friday the 11th afternoon even has a 10ft WSW swell but it's a messy, onshore wind, making it a write-off.

The second week looks like a real mixed bag, with some promising windows but a lot of windy days. Saturday the 12th is choppy with cross-onshore winds. Sunday the 13th morning sees a 12ft SW swell with a gentle cross-onshore, so it's fairly choppy but has some size. Monday the 14th afternoon is worth a look: a 10ft SW swell with a light cross-offshore wind from the SSW, giving clean conditions and an energy of 4018 (moderate). Tuesday the 15th afternoon also has a 8ft SW swell with a gentle cross-offshore S wind and 4110 energy – another clean, experienced-level window. Wednesday the 16th has some cross-shore winds that keep things marginal. From Thursday the 17th onward, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore and fresh, making for poor conditions. Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th see a massive pulse of swell – 17ft to 18ft SW groundswell – but with onshore and strong cross-onshore winds, and a warning that the swell is predicted to be too big for this break. That's a real beast, but it's not going to be a fun paddle. For the most part, the second half is for diehards who don't mind a bit of chop and some big, unruly sets. The absolute pick of the entire forecast is that Tuesday morning, September 8th – it's the biggest, cleanest, most powerful swell of the run, and the wind is perfect. Get on it if you've got the skills. The Monday 14th and Tuesday 15th afternoons are the next best bets for cleaner but 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.

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.
