The Lowdown

G'day, Rusty here, your local surf reporter. We've got a wild ride ahead down at Conto Springs, a real mixed bag of massive swell and howling winds. The next two weeks are gonna be a test of patience, but there are some absolute gems hidden in there if you pick the right window.

Right off the bat, we're looking at a serious pulse of energy. The swell's coming from the SW, which is the optimum direction for this spot. The water is a toasty 68°, a full 5° warmer than normal for this time of year, which is a proper treat. The combined swell energy is absolutely pumping at a massive 13398 (strong energy) for the Sunday morning session, but the 16 mph WSW cross-wind is going to put a chop on it. It's not a complete write-off, but it's not the cleanest.

Monday morning on the 10th of August is clean with a 25 mph cross-off wind, but the swell is still a hefty 15 ft with a short 10-second period, and the energy is down to 4098 (strong energy). It's a bit of a handful. The real standout of the first week looks to be Tuesday morning, the 11th of August. The sun is out, a clean cross-off breeze from the SSW at 16 mph, and a solid 18 ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period. The energy is monstrous at 16945 (very strong energy). The forecast says it might be too big for this break, and honestly, with that size and power, this is for experts only. The long period will make the sets push hard and fast, holding up well on this reef. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.

The middle of the week calms down a bit. Thursday morning the 13th sees a 13 ft SW swell with a 17-second period, light cross-on wind, and energy at 8495 (strong energy). It's a solid, clean option. Then, Friday afternoon the 14th offers a moment of pure magic: glassy conditions with the wind dropping to zero, a 10 ft SW groundswell, and a 15-second period. It's described as excellent for experienced surfers, and that's a window you do not want to miss.

From Saturday the 15th through to the 21st of August, the wind is a mess. It's mostly cross-on or onshore, and the swell is still big, making for ugly, choppy conditions. The energy drops off, but the wind ruining it is the main story. It's a gap of nearly a week of average to poor surf.

Hold on, because the second week looks better. The real standout of the entire outlook is Saturday the 22nd of August. Morning has a fresh 19 mph offshore breeze from the SE, clean as a whistle. The swell is a solid 15 ft SW groundswell (16-second period) with a combined energy of 10811 (strong energy). The afternoon session is even better, with a 16 mph moderate offshore breeze and a 9/10 forecast for exceptional conditions for experts. This is the one to circle on the calendar. Sunday the 23rd of August keeps the clean conditions with a lighter 12 ft SW swell, but the energy is lower.

The week wraps up with a smaller, onshore wind swell on the 24th, so don't expect much.

So, for the best wave of the next two weeks, your pick is Tuesday the 11th, but only if you're an expert with a big-wave board. For the best overall, cleanest, and most manageable big swell, aim for the 22nd of August. That Saturday is a true standout.

Catch you in the water.

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.
