The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here with the lowdown on Conto Springs. We’re looking at a long-range forecast that starts off ugly, then gets beautiful for a few days, before turning back to messy. You gotta pick your window.

This first stretch, starting Thursday the 10th through the weekend, is basically a write-off. We’ve got swell, from 7ft to 12ft, but it’s all blown out by onshore winds. Lots of wind, lots of chop, nothing worth paddling out for.

Hold on, because Monday the 14th is the day. The morning is a dream for the experienced surfer. A clean 5 mph offshore breeze from the South East, glassy water, and a solid 12ft South West swell. That’s big wave territory, only for experts. The period is 14 seconds, a long-period groundswell, and on a reef like Conto Springs, it’s going to be powerful and well-shaped. The combined energy is massive. Tuesday the 15th stays strong with 10ft of clean swell and offshore winds. Wednesday the 16th is still good for the skilled crowd with a clean 8ft and lighter winds.

Then the wheels come off again on Thursday the 17th with onshore winds and poor conditions. Friday the 18th is a total loss with near gale-force winds and rain. After that, it’s a mixed bag of marginal waves and on-and-off winds.

Sunday the 21st brings a big 13ft swell, but the wind is strong and cross, churning it into a mess. Not a surfer’s day. Things stay marginal until the 23rd.

Tuesday the 23rd of September offers a glimmer of hope. The afternoon sees a 7ft South West swell, with a clean 12 mph offshore breeze. The period is a solid 14 seconds. It’s a good option for the intermediate surfer.

One last thing to watch: Thursday the 25th of September. The morning brings an 8ft South West swell riding a very long 18-second period. That’s classic reef-swell energy. Light cross-shore winds should keep it tidy. The energy level is strong. It’s a promising long-range forecast, but we’ll have to see how it holds up.

Your best bet is to circle Monday the 14th through Wednesday the 16th of September. That run of offshore winds with solid, 12ft to 8ft South West groundswell is the highlight of this whole outlook. The water temperature is about normal for the season.

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.
