The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s shaping up for Conto Springs over the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a pretty solid run of swell on the horizon, but it’s not all smooth sailing. The first few days are a bit of a write-off, with Sunday the 23rd offering a bit of a tease but not the full package. The real standout window is shaping up to be from Wednesday the 26th onwards, but you’ll need to be picky.

The water temp is sitting at 67° which is a good couple of degrees warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can leave the thick steamer at home.

Starting off, Sunday the 23rd afternoon sees some bumpy 8ft swell from the SW with a 13-second period, but a cross-offshore breeze keeps it manageable. The combined energy is solid (3471), but it’s not the cleanest.

Monday the 24th is a mess. Onshore winds all day, with the morning at 10ft from the SW and the afternoon at 8ft, but the wind is on it, making for poor conditions.

Tuesday the 25th is the same story – onshore howling, with 8ft to 12ft swell. Best to find something else to do.

Now, Wednesday the 26th is where it gets interesting. The morning serves up a massive 16ft swell from the WSW with a very long 18-second period. The combined energy is through the roof (17119). Winds are light and cross-shore. This is serious, powerful groundswell – but it’s too big for this spot. Rated for experts only, and even then, it’s a beast. The afternoon is still 16ft from the SW, but the wind picks up to a cross-off. Still a heavy, expert-only affair.

Thursday the 27th drops a bit to 12ft, but the wind is a cross-off, keeping it clean. The energy is still very high (5614 in the morning). This is more manageable for confident intermediates, but the tide and conditions are still marginal.

Friday the 28th is a winner. The morning has 7ft from the SW with a 12-second period and a clean offshore breeze. The energy is moderate (1339). This is excellent, clean surf for the experienced surfer. The afternoon is even better with 6ft, still offshore and clean. This is the pick of the first week.

Saturday the 29th is the absolute standout. The morning is glassy, with a 8ft swell from the SW and a very long 16-second period. The energy is pumping (5035). I’m talking about those perfect, glassy, long-period lines wrapping into the reef. The afternoon is a 12ft monster from the SW with a 17-second period, but the wind is cross-off. Both sessions are exceptional for expert surfers. This is a day to clear your calendar.

Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st are a step down with onshore and cross-onshore winds messing up the 8ft to 10ft SW swell. Tuesday the 1st of September and Wednesday the 2nd are poor, with onshore winds and choppy conditions on a 8ft to 13ft WSW swell.

Thursday the 3rd is a full-on blown-out mess with 13ft of WSW swell and strong winds. Friday the 4th is a bit better with a cross-shore breeze on 10ft from the SW, but it’s still a marginal call.

The second week’s best bet is looking like Sunday the 7th of September. The morning has a massive 21ft swell from the WSW with a 14-second period, and the afternoon hits 23ft from the SW with an 18-second period. The combined energy is astronomical (18737 and 28943). The wind is a clean cross-off. This is pure, unadulterated, big-wave territory. Expert only, and you’ll need to know the reef. It’s a long way out, so keep an eye on the charts, but if it comes together, it’ll be a session to remember.

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.

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.
