The Lowdown

Righto, let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pipe for Conto Springs.

Alright, straight up – the next few days are a bit of a write-off. We’ve got some lumpy, onshore junk rolling in Thursday and Friday, with cross-shore winds and messy conditions. The water’s sitting at 68° right now, a touch warmer than we’d normally expect for this time of year, which is a nice little bonus if you’re in a spring suit.

The real action starts to build from Saturday the 18th. That morning we’re looking at a massive 18ft swell from the WSW with a serious 17-second period, and the combined energy is pumping at 20,554. But here’s the catch – the wind is a fresh cross-onshore, making it lumpy and pretty much out of control for paddle surfing. Honestly, that’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a surfer’s dream. The afternoon drops a bit to 15ft, but still windy and messy.

Sunday and Monday are a bit of a holding pattern – still plenty of swell, but the wind stays cross or cross-on, keeping things choppy and marginal. Not worth rushing out for.

Now, hold onto your board – Tuesday the 21st and Wednesday the 22nd are where it gets good. We’ve got a solid 8ft to 10ft groundswell from the SW, with periods around 13-14 seconds, carrying moderate-to-strong energy (2,862 to 2,842). But the wind is the real winner here. Tuesday morning sees a light cross-offshore breeze from the SSE, and by Wednesday morning it’s dead glassy. That’s the kind of clean, groomed face that’ll have you singing. This is the standout window – the best on offer in the whole forecast. The break is very consistent, so you won’t be waiting around. Just a heads up, it’s a reef setup, and with that swell size, it’s firming up for intermediate to experienced surfers. Beginners should sit this one out.

We get a bit of a lull mid-week, with Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th turning onshore again, making conditions messy. There’s a bit of a gap there with no real recommendations.

The following weekend, Saturday the 25th, we get another big pulse – 15ft to 16ft, but with onshore winds and a short-ish period of 10-13 seconds, it’s going to be a washing machine. Not the one.

Then, rolling into Sunday the 26th and Monday the 27th, the wind swings offshore and clean. Sunday has a big 15ft SW swell (energy around 9,018 to 9,595) with a clean offshore breeze – that’s a serious day for expert surfers only. Monday the 27th drops to 10ft with a moderate offshore wind, still excellent for experienced crew.

The tail end of the month, Tuesday the 28th and Wednesday the 29th, looks sweet again. Tuesday morning goes glassy with a 4ft S swell, perfect for a fun, easy session. Wednesday morning sees an 8ft SW swell, glassy again, and by Wednesday afternoon we’ve got gentle offshore winds and a 7ft, 16-second groundswell. Clean, groomed, lovely.

Finally, Thursday the 30th is a standout for the big-wave hunters. A 10ft SW groundswell with a 19-second period, producing exceptional conditions for expert surfers. The energy is strong at 9,235, and the wind is light and clean. That is a proper, long-period groundswell that will be peeling beautifully at this reef. It’s for experts only, but it’s a day to mark on the calendar.

So, to sum it up: the best sessions are Tuesday the 21st and Wednesday the 22nd for clean, glassy 8-10ft surf, and then Thursday the 30th for a serious, expert-level groundswell. The rest of the time is either onshore junk or too big and messy. Keep an eye on the wind, and you’ll score.

Rusty.

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.
