How’s it going, crew? Rusty here, taking a look at the long-range forecast for our stretch of coast, and it’s a tale of two fortnights. The focus is all on Conto Springs (that’s the reef setup), which is going to be the place to be when the ocean decides to wake up.
We’re starting flat out of the gate. Wednesday the 2nd is a write-off—some 12ft of SW swell, but it’s lumpy and crossed up. The energy is reading 4023, which is okay, but it’s not clean. We have to sit through the first four days, with Thursday and Friday being completely blown out by strong onshore winds, pushing swell up to 15ft and energy readings hitting 10569. That’s a washing machine, not a surf. Saturday’s got a near-gale cross-off, so honestly, that setup looks way better for kites than boards.
Then it happens. Sunday the 6th rolls around, and the ocean wakes up. We’re looking at a solid 16ft of SW swell rolling in with a 17-second period, and the energy is cranking at 15077. The morning is still a bit lumpy, but the afternoon clean-up is going to be epic. It’s big, too big for most, but for the experts, this is the day. The 8th is another big one—16ft of swell, a 19-second period, and light offshore winds, with energy up at 17554. Again, that’s an expert-only zone.
After that, the swell backs off a touch. Monday the 9th is a loss to onshores again, but from the 10th, it settles down. We get a few days of clean, fun surf, with waves in the 7ft to 10ft range and energy readings mellowing out to the 3500-6400 bracket. Not the giants, but still plenty fun.
There’s another clean pulse on the 13th with 12ft of SW swell and offshore winds, a good call for the advanced guys. The 14th and 15th are a bit softer, around 8ft, still clean but not as powerful.
And now for the long-range tease. The 16th and 17th are showing some serious potential. The 16th has 13ft of SW swell, a 17-second period, and light offshore winds. And the 17th? Glassy conditions with 13ft of WSW swell. It’s a couple weeks out, so don’t book your flights yet, but that’s the kind of forecast that gets you through the flat spells. Promising, but we’ll know more as it gets closer.
Stay safe, pick your sessions, and I’ll see you in the water. 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.
Conto Springs is 106 km (66 miles) from the city of Bunbury. If you plan a holiday in Margaret River, look for hotels and other accommodation in Bunbury. Bunbury has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
