The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for Conto Springs.
We’ve got a solid run of swell on the cards, but the wind is going to be the main character in this story for a while. The water is sitting at 67.3°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The first few days are a bit of a mixed bag, but there’s some real quality to be had if you’re patient.
The week kicks off on Tuesday the 14th with a solid 9.8ft SW groundswell, with a long 15-second period and a meaty combined energy of 3973. That’s a serious amount of power in the water. The wind is a light NNE cross-shore, so it’s not glassy, but it’s manageable. The catch is the forecast flags it as marginal, probably due to tide. It’s a good start, but not the best of the window.
Wednesday the 15th is a write-off. Strong NNE winds up to 22 mph turn it into a lumpy, cross-onshore mess. The swell is still there, but don’t bother.
Now, Thursday the 16th is where it gets interesting. The morning has a 11.5ft WSW swell with a 14-second period and a massive combined energy of 5099. The wind is light and variable, but it’s the afternoon that steals the show. The wind swings to a light S cross-off, and the waves clean right up. The conditions are flagged as excellent for experienced surfers. The swell drops a touch to 9.8ft, but with that offshore flow, it’ll be holding up beautifully. This is a genuine standout.
Friday the 17th sees onshore winds return, and the swell drops. Not worth a paddle.
Saturday the 18th is a monster, but it’s a monster you’ll want to watch from the carpark. An 18.0ft WSW swell with a 17-second period hits, and the combined energy is a whopping 16433. The wind is a strong 25 mph cross-onshore. It’s way too big for this break, and the wind will make it a washing machine. Leave it for the experts on a jet ski, or the kite surfers.
Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th are average at best with messy cross-shore winds and dropping swell.
The next real highlight doesn’t come until Thursday the 23rd. The swell drops to a clean 6.9ft from the SW, but the wind is a light cross-off in the morning, then turns moderate offshore in the afternoon. The conditions are excellent for experienced surfers again. It’s a smaller, cleaner day, and after the wind we’ve had, it’ll feel like a reward.
The real prize, and the absolute standout of the whole 16-day window, is Wednesday the 29th. The swell is a solid 14.8ft from the SW, with a long 17-second period and a combined energy of 12342 in the afternoon. The wind is glassy in the afternoon, and the forecast is calling it exceptional for expert surfers. This is a very long-range call, so it’s not locked in, but if it comes together, that’s the day to be at Conto Springs. The morning is also excellent with a light cross-shore. Mark it on your calendar.
