The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Conto Springs.

Right off the bat, this is a classic reef setup with a very consistent swell magnet that loves a WSW direction. The water’s sitting at a touch warmer than normal (65°) for this time of year, which is a nice little bonus for the first surfable session.

The first few days are a write-off. Saturday and Sunday are blown out with strong cross-onshore winds and big, messy, poor quality surf. You’d be fighting a losing battle.

Things only start to turn around on Monday, September 14th. The wind swings offshore from the SE, and even though the swell is a solid 12ft, the conditions clean right up. This is expert territory – that’s a heavy, powerful wave for the experienced crew only. The combined swell energy is pumping (5541), and the long 14-second period groundswell will wrap beautifully into this reef, giving proper shape. A standout for the first week.

Tuesday the 15th is the pick for the slightly smaller crowd. The swell drops a touch to 10ft, still from the SW, but the wind is light offshore, glassy in the morning. Clean, lined-up sets. This is excellent for experienced surfers, and with the early light air, it’s a joy. Some crowds are possible here, so get in early.

Wednesday and Thursday fade off. The swell drops below 7ft, winds get messy again, and it’s back to marginal or poor conditions. Not worth the paddle.

There’s a gap from Thursday the 17th through a stormy Friday the 18th – cross-onshore gale-force winds and rain. Ugly.

Then comes the real gold. Saturday, September 19th kicks off a solid run of big, clean surf, but it’s not perfect. It’s big (13ft to 15ft), cross-off winds keep it fairly clean, but the quality is marginal due to size and tide. Better suited to experts or those with big-wave experience.

But the absolute standout – the one you circle on the calendar – is Monday, September 21st. SE offshore breeze all day, with a groundswell from the SW at 13ft and a very long period of 17 seconds. The combined energy is massive (9520). This is an exceptional day for expert surfers. The offshore wind will groom those long-period lines, and the reef will shape them up perfectly. Crowds are possible, but for waves of this quality, it’s worth it.

From there, the run continues with solid 10ft to 16ft swells through to the end of the month, but the wind gets a bit cross or cross-off. Strong to extreme energy levels, but the cleanest windows are with the lighter offshore mornings. Thursday, September 24th is another monster day – 16ft, 18-second period, light offshore. Another expert-level standout. The combined energy is extreme (13895), but you’re only getting on it if you really know what you’re doing.

The very end of the forecast, around the 26th and 27th, gets a bit lumpy with cross-shore wind and a massive 16ft swell, but the break might actually be too big to be manageable. Still, there’s hope.

So, bottom line: the first week has a couple of tidy windows for experienced surfers, but the second week, especially the 21st and 24th, is world-class for the right crew. Keep an eye on the wind, and don’t sleep on those offshore mornings.

Rusty.

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.
