The Lowdown

G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s break down what’s coming for Conto Springs over the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a real mix of heavy days and clean windows. The water’s sitting at 65° – a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so the wetsuit might feel a bit looser.

The first bite of decent energy shows up on Tuesday the 1st of September, but it’s not going to be pretty. Morning sees an 8ft SW swell with a 15-second period (moderate wave energy, 3128) and a cross-onshore WSW wind at 9 mph – choppy, messy, and the rating’s low. That afternoon it gets worse with a 12 mph W wind. Not worth paddling out.

Wednesday the 2nd starts with light rain and an 12ft SW swell (13-second period, moderate energy, 3975), but the wind is cross-shore at 16 mph from the SW – cross-chop everywhere. The afternoon cleans up a bit with a cross-offshore SSW breeze at 9 mph, and the swell stays solid. The waves will be clean, but the quality is still marginal.

Thursday the 3rd is a write-off. Big onshore winds – 16 mph NW in the morning and 25 mph WNW in the afternoon – with a 13ft SW swell. The ocean will be a mess. No go.

Now, Friday the 4th is where things get interesting. Morning sees a 16ft SW swell (15-second period, strong wave energy, 10908) with a cross-offshore SSW wind at 16 mph. The waves will be clean and powerful. This is huge, though – over 8ft, so it’s for experts only. Afternoon drops to a 16ft SW swell (16-second period, very strong energy, 12378) with a light 9 mph cross-onshore – still big, but a touch choppier. If you’re a seasoned charger, Friday morning is the standout.

Saturday the 5th is blown out – near gale winds at 31 mph from the NW in the morning and SW in the afternoon. Not surfable.

Sunday the 6th offers a 15ft SW swell, but the wind is cross-onshore at 12 mph from the WSW and W – choppy both sessions. The energy is strong (7402 to 11072), but the surface won’t do you any favours.

Monday the 7th is another big one – 16ft to 18ft SW swell (17-18 second period, very strong energy, 15857-17650). The wind is a gentle cross-onshore from the W at 9 mph, but the swell is predicted to be too big for this break. For experts only, and even then, it’s a beast.

Tuesday the 8th is a hidden gem. Morning has an 12ft SW swell (15-second period, strong energy, 5520) with glassy conditions – 3 mph SW wind, no wind. That’s exceptional for experts. The waves will be clean and lined up. Afternoon is still clean with a light cross-offshore S breeze at 6 mph. This is the best window in the first week for quality over sheer size.

The rest of the second week is mixed. Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th are blown out or onshore. Friday the 11th afternoon has a 10ft WSW swell (13-second period, moderate energy, 3489) with a clean cross-offshore SSW breeze – excellent for experienced surfers. Saturday the 12th is glassy in the morning with an 8ft WSW swell (14-second period, moderate energy, 2711) – clean and ridable for intermediates. That’s a nice one.

Sunday the 13th drops to 7ft and 6ft – small but clean in the afternoon. Monday the 14th has an 12ft SW swell (17-second period, strong energy, 6386) but cross-onshore winds in the morning; the afternoon cleans up with a cross-offshore SSW breeze.

The real standout in the second week is Tuesday the 15th of September. Morning sees a 13ft SSW swell (15-second period, very strong energy, 11547) with a light cross-offshore ESE wind at 3 mph – clean, powerful, and exceptional for experts. That’s the one to circle.

Wednesday the 16th fades to 7ft and 5ft with fresh cross-shore winds – not worth the effort.

Overall, the best on offer is Friday the 4th morning for pure power, and Tuesday the 8th morning for glassy perfection. For the second week, lock in Tuesday the 15th morning. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so if you can get out early, you’ll have it more to yourself.

Signing off – 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.
