The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk it out in feet and miles per hour.
We got a bit of a lull to start, but don’t fret. There’s some serious swell stacking up down the line. The first few days are blown out with messy onshore wind, so you’re looking at a gap of about three to four days with no good waves.
The real deal hits on Monday September 14th. Conto Springs is the spot. Early Monday we’ve got 13ft of SW groundswell with a 15 second period—that’s a big, powerful ocean, with combined energy at 6254. Wind is light offshore from the ESE at 10 km/h, so it’s going to be clean as a whistle. This one is for experts only. 13ft on a reef with long period is not messing around. The spot is very consistent and draws a crowd, so expect company.
Water temp is about 64°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. Not a big deal, but it’s a nice touch.
Tuesday the 15th keeps it going with 10ft of SW swell (4343 energy) and a gentle offshore from the SSE—great for experienced surfers who want a slightly less intense session. Wednesday backs off a bit, and by Thursday the 17th the onshore wind ruins it again.
Now, look to Monday the 21st of September. That’s another big one. 13ft of SW swell Monday morning, building to nearly 15ft in the afternoon, with combined energy hitting 8671 then 11460. Cross-off wind from the SSW keeps it clean, but this is all expert territory. By Tuesday the 22nd, we’re looking at 18ft with 11530 energy and a fresh breeze. That’s a proper big day. Only for the brave.
Wednesday the 23rd drops to about 12ft with cleaner winds in the afternoon, and that’s a solid option for experienced surfers. Thursday the 24th holds at 12ft SW with light winds and clean conditions.
Best in the whole run: Monday the 14th and Monday the 21st, but both for experts only. The 14th and 15th are your best bet for strong intermediates who know the reef. The 23rd and 24th will be less gnarly but still fun.
This is Rusty. See you out there.

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.
