The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at the next couple of weeks for Conto Springs. It’s a bit of a wild ride, so let’s get into it.

We’re kicking off with a proper monster on Tuesday the 11th. The swell is a massive 18ft from the SW with a very long period of 16 seconds, and the combined energy is absolutely pumping at 16945. That’s some serious power. But look, this is a big, powerful groundswell, and with that size, it’s strictly for the experts only. The water is sitting at 67°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, a solid 4°F above average. The morning has a clean look with a cross-off wind, but that afternoon turns into a messy cross-shore chop. This is a day for the experienced crew only.

Wednesday the 12th drops a notch, but it’s still a chunky 13ft SW swell, period around 15 seconds. The energy is still high (7225 and 6931). The problem is the wind swings cross-on both sessions, making it fairly choppy. It’s surfable, but it’s not going to be the cleanest.

Now, Thursday the 13th is where it gets interesting. We’ve still got that 13ft SW groundswell, but the period stretches to a very long 17 seconds. The morning is where the magic is: a light offshore NW wind at 10 mph. That’s glassy conditions for a reef break like Conto. The energy is pumping at 9231. This is the standout of the first week. The afternoon goes to a light cross-shore, still good, but the morning window is the one to chase. Just remember, a 17-second period at a beach setup can be a bit straight, but on a reef, it should be fantastic.

Friday the 14th sees the swell drop to 12ft, still SW, but the wind is a light cross-on, so it’s a bit bumpy. Not terrible, but not the day to cancel plans for.

The weekend from Saturday the 15th through Monday the 17th is a write-off. Strong onshore winds and a messy, choppy ocean. The energy drops right off, and the scores reflect it. A solid gap of poor conditions.

We get a brief tease on Wednesday the 19th with a new pulse of 16ft SW swell. The energy is huge again (11640), but the wind is cross-on, giving it a choppy face. It’s a big, powerful wave, but the wind is just ruining the surface. The morning is better than the afternoon.

Another gap of poor conditions hits from Thursday the 20th through Monday morning the 24th. The wind is just a mess.

Then, a real dark horse appears on Saturday the 22nd. The morning has a clean, cross-off SSE wind at 10 mph on a 13ft WSW swell. The energy is a solid 7993. The data says exceptional for experts, and with that wind, it’s going to be a ripping day for the skilled surfers. This is the second standout.

The final week is a bit of a mixed bag with a lot of windy, blown-out days, but Monday the 24th afternoon has a tiny, clean 5ft SW swell with a very long 18-second period. The wind is light and cross-shore. It’s small, but it could be a fun, glassy session for the log.

Overall, the best on offer is undoubtedly Thursday morning the 13th for the big, clean, long-period groundswell, and then Saturday the 22nd morning for the clean, powerful waves. The rest of the window is largely a battle with the wind.

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.
