The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for Conto Springs. We’ve got a classic exposed reef setup that can handle a lot of juice, but the wind window is gonna be the key to keeping it clean. The water is sitting at 64°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a nice little bonus to start with.

The opening act this Monday, September 14th, is a proper heavyweight. We’re looking at a solid 12ft SW groundswell with a long 14-second period, and the combined energy is pumping hard at (5349). The wind is blowing light offshore from the SE, keeping things clean. This is expert-only territory though – that size and power is no joke for anyone without serious experience. The wind holds through the afternoon, so the morning window is the pick.

Tuesday the 15th is still excellent, dropping slightly to 10ft from the SW, still with that lovely long period. The morning has a light cross-off breeze from the East, so it’ll be clean but a little softer on the takeoff. The afternoon swings back to a moderate offshore from the SSE – still very good for the experienced crew.

Wednesday the 16th is a bit of a mixed bag. The morning is messy with a light cross-onshore from the North, making the 6ft swell look average. But the afternoon? Glassy. Dead calm wind and the swell sits at 6ft from the SW. That’s a rare, clean window for the intermediate surfer to get a piece of it.

Then we hit a rough patch. Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th are blown out or rain-soaked. Friday brings heavy rain and strong cross-off winds, but the swell is up to 8ft to 10ft with a very long 17-second period. The setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, honestly – the wind and swell combo is too raw for a clean ride.

The weekend of September 19th and 20th is a write-off for quality surfing – strong cross-onshore winds and lumpy conditions. The swell is still big (10ft to 12ft), but it’s messy and not worth the paddle out.

Monday the 21st through Wednesday the 24th is more of the same – onshore winds and choppy, poor conditions. There are a few windows on the 23rd with lighter winds, but it’s marginal at best.

Now, the real standout is way out there, but worth waiting for. Saturday, September 26th is the one to circle on the calendar. The afternoon session looks absolutely pumping: 13ft SW swell with a 17-second period, moderate offshore wind from the SSE, and the combined energy is roaring at (9464). That is exceptional, expert-level surf. Clean, powerful, and lined up.

The morning of the 26th is also very good – 15ft from the SW, 18-second period, light cross-off winds, and clean (12907). But the afternoon is the jewel.

After that, things settle down a bit. Sunday the 27th through Tuesday the 29th sees the size drop, but the winds stay favourable with clean conditions and cross-off breezes. It’ll be fun for experienced surfers, but nothing that matches the 26th.

So, the best on offer? Without a doubt, Conto Springs on Saturday, September 26th. Specifically the afternoon session – that is the one you don’t miss.

Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Conto Springs can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
