The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty.

We’re looking at a pretty wild ride over the next couple of weeks at Conto Springs. The opening few days are a bit of a mess, but there are some absolute gems later on if you’re patient.

We start things off with a bit of a frustrating setup. The water is sitting at a touch warmer than average for this time of year. That’s a nice little bonus. For Thursday and Friday (10th & 11th), we’ve got solid sized swell rolling in with some serious grunt behind it – the combined energy is reading 2156 on Thursday morning – but the wind is all wrong. It’s cross-on and lumpy, making it pretty poor. Saturday and Sunday (12th & 13th) get even bigger with some sets heading towards 10 ft to 12 ft, but again the wind is crap. It's all cross-on with moderate to fresh breezes. The wave energy is massive, hitting over 6400 on Saturday afternoon, but it's just not clean.

Then, look at Monday the 14th. This is the standout. We get a clean-up. The wind shifts to a gentle cross-off, sometimes offshore breeze, and we have a powerful 13 ft SW groundswell with a period of 15 seconds. The combined energy reading is through the roof at 6374. This is proper, expert-level stuff. It’s going to be clean, lined up, and pumping. This is the session to circle. Conto Springs is known for handling this kind of power, and with that light wind, conditions should be exceptional.

After that peak, it settles down a bit but stays good into next week. Tuesday (15th) still has clean 10 ft swell and gentle offshore winds, excellent for experienced surfers. Wednesday (16th) holds a clean 8 ft with a light breeze. Things get messy again by Thursday (17th) and Friday (18th) with strong onshore winds and rising chop. The swell drops off, but then it gets stupid.

Heads up for Saturday the 19th. We see a massive 21 ft swell forecast. The combined energy reading is a staggering 16951. The file says it's predicted to be too big for the break. That’s a no-go for the paddle crew, but if the wind holds light cross-on, it might be a windsurfing or kiting dream. The afternoon drops to a still massive 16 ft but with a bit less energy.

There is another really promising window on Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd. The swell is a solid 13 ft to 15 ft with a long period of 17 seconds. The wind swings offshore from the SSE and SE, and conditions are reported as clean. That’s another week of expert-level groundswell with clean conditions. The energy readings for the 21st are around 12038 – it’s going to be powerful, but it’s more manageable than the 21 ft monster earlier.

The following week continues the theme of big, clean swells. Wednesday the 23rd through to Friday the 25th shows 8 ft to 12 ft of SW groundswell with clean, offshore winds. The word “exceptional” is even used for the Thursday morning session. This is a long run of quality for those who can handle it.

So, the absolute best on offer is Monday the 14th and then that Monday-Tuesday window of the 21st-22nd. For the big swells, you need to be confident in your abilities. For the smaller days later in the second week, conditions look clean and fun.

Rusty out.

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.
