The Lowdown
Alright, mates, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what the ocean’s got cookin’ for us down at Conto Springs. This is a full 16-day look, so strap in.
The opening stretch is a beauty. We’ve got a solid run of solid, powerful SW groundswell lining up with clean offshore winds, and that’s about as good as it gets around here. The water’s sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – you might not need the full 5/4 just yet.
The standout of the whole window is Monday the 8th. The morning session is the pick: a solid 13ft of SW swell with a long 17-second period, and a moderate SE offshore breeze. The energy reading is a massive 9408, which tells you there’s plenty of push behind it. The afternoon backs off a touch to 12ft but still holds strong. With that size and power, this is expert territory for sure – well overhead and serious.
Before that, Sunday the 7th morning is also a gem. It’s slightly smaller at 12ft, but that 16-second period and a gentle 9 mph SE offshore wind will have it glassy and grinding down the reef. Afternoon picks up a bit of pace with the wind, but it’s still clean.
The early part of the week on Tuesday the 9th sees the swell ease to 10ft. The morning is cross-offshore and a bit wind-affected, but the afternoon turns to glass with a light WSW breeze. It’s a different, more mellow vibe, but still some fun waves to be had.
Then things get messy. From Thursday the 10th through the weekend, the wind swings onshore and the quality drops right off. We’re looking at lumpy, choppy conditions with onshores making it a battle. There’s still swell, but it’s not worth your time unless you’re after a fight. This is the kind of stretch where the setup starts to look more interesting for the kite crew than for us paddle surfers.
Monday the 15th sees a bit of a reset. It’s still onshore in the morning, but the afternoon lightens up, and we get a nice 10ft SW swell with a 17-second period and just a light cross-shore breeze. It’s a decent return to form, but nothing spectacular. The energy is building back up at 6447, so there’s some life in the ocean again.
The following week is a mixed bag, and a lot less certain. We’re looking at another surge of big swell around Friday the 19th, with the model showing a massive 18ft pulse. But it’s going to be huge, wild, and blown out by strong onshores. The energy readings are off the charts, over 14000, but the wind will make it a washing machine. Only for the most experienced, and even then, it might be a day to watch from the cliff.
The weekend of the 20th and 21st is still sizeable, but the wind stays messy, keeping quality low. There’s a glimmer on Saturday afternoon with a slight drop in wind, but it’s still chunky.
So, the bottom line: the first few days are where it’s at, with Monday the 8th being the standout. The middle part of the forecast is poor, and the long-range stuff is big but too rough to call. Near-term, it’s solid gold. Long-range, it’s a promise, but a shaky one.
Stay stoked.

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.

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.
