The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks at Conto Springs. This is a reef setup that’s exposed to the southwest swell, and it’s very consistent. It’s not a beginner’s wave, so keep that in mind.

We’ve got a solid run of surf kicking off right away. The first call is Sunday morning, the 6th of September. It’s a bit of a raw start with an 12 ft SW swell, but the wind is howling offshore from the SSE at 19 mph. The combined energy is pumping at 5641, so there’s heaps of power, but it’s a bit of a battle with that fresh breeze. The afternoon cleans up the same size, drops to 10 ft, and the period jumps to a very long 18 seconds – that’s proper groundswell. The energy jumps to 8488, and with the offshore wind still fresh, it’s going to be clean but heavy. These long-period swells can be a bit tricky on a reef, but for the experienced crew, this is as good as it gets.

Monday morning, the 7th, is a standout. The swell holds at 12 ft from the SW, period is a long 16 seconds, and the wind drops to a gentle 9 mph offshore from the SE. The energy is still huge at 6414, but the conditions are clean and the paddle out will be easier between sets. The guidance says this is exceptional for experts. That’s the pick of the first few days. Monday afternoon sees the wind pick up again, but it’s still offshore.

Tuesday the 8th is another big one. Morning session has a 13 ft SW swell, 16-second period, moderate offshore wind from the SE at 16 mph, and the energy is up at 8739. The guidance calls it exceptional for experts. If you’re an experienced surfer, don’t miss that window. The afternoon gets windier but is still a solid option.

Wednesday the 9th is interesting. The swell drops to 10 ft, but the wind goes glassy from the NNE in the afternoon. The energy is down to 3969, but with that glassy surface and a 15-second period, it’ll be smooth and clean. Not as much punch, but a great session if you want a break from the big stuff.

From Thursday the 10th onward, things get messy. The wind swings cross-on and onshore, the swell drops, and the quality falls off a cliff. We’ve got a few days of poor surf and choppy conditions, with a lot of wind from the north and northwest. The swell hangs around 7 ft, but the wind ruins it. Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th are write-offs.

There’s a bit of a lull, but it doesn’t stay poor for long. Sunday the 13th sees a jump back to 12 ft, but the wind is cross-shore and onshore, making it choppy. That continues through the start of the next week.

The real interesting part comes later. On Thursday the 17th of September, the swell starts to build again but it’s a short period 8-second wind swell from the west, and the wind is fresh onshore. Not great.

Friday the 18th is a massive swell event. The morning shows a 20 ft WSW swell, 15-second period, but the wind is howling at 25 mph from the west, cross-on. The energy is an insane 17255, and the guidance says it’s simply too big for this break. This is more of a kite-surfing show than a paddle surf session. The same goes for Saturday the 19th – still huge, still messy, and the wind is even stronger.

The final call is Sunday the 20th of September. The swell peaks at 23 ft from the SW, with a ridiculous 20-second period. The energy is 38470 – that’s a massive, powerful ocean. The wind is moderate cross-shore at 12 mph, so it’s not completely blown out, but again, the guidance says it’s too big for the break. Only for the absolute elite, and even then, it’s a mission.

The takeaway? The best windows are the first few days: Sunday the 6th, Monday the 7th, and Tuesday the 8th. Tuesday morning is the absolute standout for expert surfers. After that, it’s a waiting game. The big stuff at the end is impressive but not surfable for most.

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.
