The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Conto Springs. We’ve got a solid window of south-west groundswell on the way, but the wind is going to be the boss of this show. The first day is the clear headline act, so don't miss it.
Tuesday the 8th of September is your day. Tuesday morning we’re looking at a strong 13ft of SW swell slamming into the reef at Conto Springs (Cape to Cape). The energy is huge at 9408, and with a clean 25 km/h SE offshore, it’s game on. The period is a long 17 seconds, so it’s proper groundswell with plenty of push. This is expert territory, no question, but it’s going to be a session to remember. The afternoon backs off to 12ft, but the offshore holds at 30 km/h and it’s still well overhead and powerful.
Wednesday the 9th is still chunky, but the wind turns a bit tricky. The morning has a cross-offshore ENE breeze at 20 km/h with 10ft of SW swell. It’s still clean and surfable, but the sparkle is off it. The afternoon is a different story – the wind dies completely to glass, with the swell holding at 10ft. It might get a bit soft without the wind, but for the experienced crew, it could still be a classic.
Then the surf drops off. From Thursday the 10th to the end of that week, it’s smaller and messier. Swell heights fall below 8ft, and the winds are a cross-on/onshore mess. There are a few clean patches, but the energy is fading fast into the 1000-2000 range, so it’s a poor run of waves. The weekend is a total blowout with near-gale cross-onshore winds.
The second week is smaller and less consistent. Monday the 14th has some 12ft waves but it’s onshore and junky. There’s a brief, clean-ish window on Wednesday afternoon the 16th with light cross-offshore winds and 7ft of swell, but it’s weak. Friday the 18th gets blasted by a strong breeze, and the weekend is just choppy, close-out slop.
The run finishes with a massive promise. On Wednesday morning the 23rd, nine days out, the forecast is for a colossal 21ft of SW swell with a long 16-second period. The energy is off the charts at 22261. The wind is predicted to be offshore and clean, but this is far too big for the break. That’s not a surf day – that’s a spectator sport.
So, the call is easy: Tuesday morning, the 8th of September. Big, clean, and powerful. That’s the standout. After that, hold tight and see if the long-range monster stays on track. Take care.
Rusty.
