The Lowdown

Grab your board, this stretch has a bit of everything. We're looking at a run that starts with some solid, but messy, energy before cleaning up into some proper windows. The big standout is the Saturday the 8th – that's the one to circle. The water's sitting at 67.8° right now, which is a good 4.7° warmer than usual for this time of year, so you can leave the booties at home.

Conto Springs (Conto-Springs) is the spot, a reef break that's very consistent and exposed to any SW groundswell. It's going to be firing, but we've got to work through some junky conditions first.

Sunday afternoon (2nd): The first call is a bit of a tease. Solid 9.8ft of SW swell with a 13-second period, but a light N cross-on wind puts some ripples on it. The energy is moderate (3426), and it's a bit questionable, so I'd be checking it rather than committing.

Monday (3rd) & Tuesday (4th): This is where it gets a bit rough. The swell stays, but the N wind picks up to 12-16 mph, making it choppy and cross-onshore. The energy numbers drop (1702 down to 1540) before a pulse of 13ft+ swell arrives on Tuesday with an 18-second period, pushing the energy way up (8677-7421). But with that WNW wind, it's just a washing machine. Not worth the paddle.

Wednesday (5th): Things start to turn. The wind drops to 9 mph, swinging W and then NW, and we still have a chunky 14.8ft SW swell at 16 seconds. The energy is pumping (11044-10807). It's still a bit lumpy, but the afternoon goes more onshore, making it a bit more lined up. This is a big day for the experienced crew.

Thursday (6th): A fresh 19 mph NNW wind blows through, and while the swell is still big (13ft at 16s), it's going to be a mess. The energy is high (8387-7907) but the quality is poor. Better to sit this one out.

Friday (7th): The wind swings SW and WSW at 19 mph, becoming cross-shore. It's still big (13-14.8ft) but lumpy and cross-chop with a fresh breeze. There are waves, but they're not friendly.

Saturday (8th): Now we're talking. This is the pick of the first week. The wind goes SSW, dropping from 12 mph in the morning to a gentle 9 mph in the afternoon, turning cross-offshore. The swell is a solid 16.4ft at 16 seconds from the SW, and the energy is massive (13612-12334). The afternoon is marked as exceptional for experts. If you can handle this size, this is your session.

Sunday (9th): A bit of a comedown. The swell backs off to 11.5ft at 14 seconds, but a WSW cross-on wind messes it up again. The energy (6160-5252) is still there, but it's choppy and less defined.

Monday (10th): Another standout. The wind goes ESE, becoming cross-offshore in the morning and fully offshore in the afternoon at 16 mph. The swell is a clean 13ft at 17-18 seconds. The energy is strong (10095-9601), and the conditions are marked as exceptional. This is a fantastic day for the reef, especially the afternoon.

Tuesday (11th): Hold onto your hats. The swell just explodes. It jumps to 23ft in the morning with a glassy NE wind, then a monster 29.5ft SSW pulse hits in the afternoon with a 16-second period. The energy is off the charts (31261-73733). The wind is favorable and the conditions are clean, but this is way over the top. This is only for the most elite chargers, and honestly, it's likely just too big for Conto. Good for a spectator show.

Wednesday (12th): The ocean takes a breath. The swell drops

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.
