The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Conto Springs. This reef setup is exposed to the WSW, and we’ve got a solid run of south-west swell coming through the next couple of weeks. The first few days are a bit mixed with wind and chop, but there are some real gems tucked in there.
Sunday the 19th starts with 9.8 ft of WSW swell, but it’s cross-shore with a gentle breeze and some rain showers – marginal at best, energy around 3659. Not worth paddling out. Monday the 20th is worse: cross-onshore wind, choppy, and scores zero. Tuesday the 21st cleans up nicely with a cross-off southerly, 8.2 ft SW swell, 14-second period, and clean conditions. Energy is 2670 – that’s moderate, but still a bit marginal. Worth a look if you’re keen.
Now Wednesday the 22nd – that’s a standout. We’ve got 11.5 ft of SW swell with a 16-second period, clean offshore wind from the SE in the afternoon. Energy is pumping at 5394 – that’s serious power. But this is expert territory at that size. Only for the crew who can handle it. Crowds are possible here, and with conditions like that, expect a few locals out. Thursday the 23rd drops back to 7.5 ft with cross-shore wind, not as good. Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th are blown out with onshore winds and rain – skip those days.
Sunday the 26th afternoon shows a 11.5 ft SW swell with a cross-off breeze

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.
