The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on offer over the next couple weeks.

We got a bit of a lull to start. Sunday the 13th is a total washout – onshore winds, messy, poor. No reason to get wet. A one-day gap before things turn around.

Monday the 14th, Conto Springs (reef) fires up. Offshore wind out of the SE at 12 mph, a solid 12 ft SW groundswell with a 14-second period. That’s a long-period groundswell – plenty of power and good shape. Combined energy is strong at 5581. This is expert territory, but for those in the know, it’s a standout: big, clean, and heavy.

Tuesday the 15th is the real jewel. Glassy conditions in the morning with an ESE breeze at just 3 mph. Same 10 ft SW swell, 14 seconds. Clean as glass. Energy still big at 3830. For experienced surfers, this is the best of the first week. Get out there if you can.

Wednesday the 16th fades. Swell drops to 6 ft, wind turns cross-onshore, surf gets choppy and marginal. Thursday the 17th is blown out again – onshore winds, poor. A couple days of nothing special.

Friday the 18th: fresh offshore from the SE at 22 mph. Swell comes back to 10 ft from the WSW, 15 seconds – solid, but the wind is strong. Clean faces, but it’s no walk in the park. Worth a look if you’re up for it.

Saturday the 19th is messy in the morning – strong cross-onshore, 13 ft of WSW swell, lumpy and blown. Afternoon improves with a cross-off wind, but it’s still a big, raw 13 ft SW swell. For experts only.

Now here’s the big stuff. Sunday the 21st (a week from Monday), a huge long-period SW groundswell rolls in at 13 ft and 16 seconds. Combined energy hits a massive 8453 by the afternoon. Light cross-shore wind. Clean enough, but that size is only for the brave. This is a huge standout session – powerful, lined-up waves at this reef.

Monday the 22nd holds at 10 ft SW, 15 seconds, but with cross-onshore wind – not as clean, but plenty of energy.

Then Wednesday the 23rd – hang on. 15 ft SW swell at 18 seconds, combined energy screaming 11823. Light cross-shore breeze, clean. That’s a very long-period groundswell – it’ll detonate with serious force. Best for reef setups, and this is one. For experts only. Without a doubt the standout of the entire forecast.

Thursday the 24th stays solid with 12 ft WSW, 16 seconds, clean cross-off wind. Still plenty of muscle.

Friday the 25th: 13 ft SW at 12 seconds, but the wind goes offshore from the SSE at 16 mph. Clean and expert-level. Another big one.

Saturday the 26th: 12 ft SW, 15 seconds, offshore ESE at 12 mph. Clean, consistent, powerful. A great way to finish the run.

Sunday the 27th: Light winds, 12 ft SW, 15 seconds, clean. Excellent for experienced surfers.

Monday the 28th the wind swings onshore again, and the swell drops. The run is done.

Overall, this is a two-week window for experienced and expert surfers only. Beginners should sit this one out – the swell is far too big and powerful. The standout mornings are Tuesday the 15th (glassy) and Wednesday the 23rd (massive, long-period groundswell). If you’re charging, those are your days.

Water temperature is about average for this time of year. No big anomaly.

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.
