The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Looks like Conto Springs is gonna be your main event for this whole stretch. We’re looking at a bit of a slow start, but then it really fires up.
Saturday the 5th is a write-off. Strong onshore winds and poor surf. Don’t bother. From Sunday the 6th, though, things get interesting. We’ve got a solid pulse of southwest groundswell pushing in. Sunday morning sees a 13ft swell from the SW with a 13-second period, and a clean offshore SSE wind. The combined energy is cranking – 6235 – and it’s going to be big. By Sunday afternoon, the period stretches to 18 seconds, a proper long-period groundswell, with 8ft of swell, still clean offshore from the SE, and energy is massive at 8536. This is premium stuff for an exposed reef. It’s going to be a handful though – this is expert territory with that size.
Monday the 7th keeps the goods coming. Morning is glassy clean with a gentle offshore SE breeze and 12ft of SW swell at 16 seconds. The energy is 6767, and it’s described as exceptional for experts. The afternoon holds up but the wind picks up a bit. Tuesday the 8th is another big one: 13ft of clean SW swell with a 16-second period and moderate offshore SE wind. The energy is 9358 in the morning. Absolutely pumping.
The standout is clearly the Sunday the 6th through Tuesday the 8th. The combination of size, long-period groundswell, and consistent offshore winds is about as good as it gets. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so don’t expect a shock.
Now, things mellow out a bit from Wednesday the 9th through Friday the 11th. The swell drops, winds shift around, and it’s more marginal. Still some fun waves in the mix, especially Thursday afternoon the 10th with 6ft of SW swell, glassy conditions, and a 14-second period – that’s a sneaky good session for experienced surfers when the crowds are down.
The following weekend, the 12th and 13th, gets messy again with onshore winds, but then a real treat pops up for Monday the 14th. We’ve got a 10ft SW swell, 14-second period, and absolutely glassy conditions with zero wind. That’s a stunning morning for experienced surfers, with energy at 3708. A proper clean session.
After that, the wind turns onshore again from the 15th through the 18th, ruining the quality. The swell is still there, but it’s choppy and blown out.
Then, hold onto your boards. On Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th, we see a massive pulse of swell. We’re talking 18ft to 21ft of SW swell with periods of 15 to 18 seconds. The energy readings are off the charts – 18902 on Saturday morning. This is way too big for this break, even for experts. The wind is cross-shore, so it won’t be clean, but the raw power is insane. Unless you’re a tow-in crew, give this one a wide berth. It’s more of a spectacle.
So, best bets: Sunday the 6th through Tuesday the 8th are the absolute standouts. Then Monday the 14th is a hidden gem. The rest is a mix of waiting for the wind to play ball.
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.
Conto Springs is 106 km (66 miles) from the city of Bunbury. If you plan a holiday in Margaret River, look for hotels and other accommodation in Bunbury. Bunbury has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
