The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what the next couple of weeks are shaping up like for our stretch of coast.

We’ve got a run of real, solid groundswell coming in, but it’s not all going to be easy. The opening weekend is a bit of a write-off, with an onshore breeze messing up the swell. But hold on to your boards, because things are going to get seriously good for a spell right in the middle of the period before it all gets blown out again. The standout is going to be a day of big, clean surf that’ll have your heart pumping.

The first few days are a bit of a washout, with a strong cross-shore breeze and a lumpy sea on Sunday the 9th. It’s not worth getting excited about, and the conditions just get worse into Monday the 10th with a strong breeze and rain. There’s a bit of size, but it’s all over the place. We just have to be patient.

Then, things flip. Tuesday the 11th of August is the one. There’s a serious amount of energy pushing in here, and we’re looking at a solid 20ft of southwest swell with a long 16-second period. The wind is set to be a light cross-offshore, which should keep it glassy. This is a big one, though, and it’s going to be pushing the limits for most of us. This is a day for the experienced crew, as it’s well over that 8ft mark where it gets properly serious.

The energy eases off a touch for Wednesday and Thursday, but Thursday the 13th looks special in its own way. The wave height drops to a still-chunky 13ft, but the magic is in the conditions. A light cross-offshore wind and clear skies are forecast for the afternoon, and the swell period is a long 16 seconds. That’s the window to get out there, for a real taste of a proper, grinding reef. This is another standout.

The following days fade out slowly, and the wind swings around to the north and then northwest, putting us onshore. The swell drops off through the week, and the quality really suffers. By the week after, from the 17th onwards, the wind gets up again, bringing rain and a messy, lumpy sea. It’s a return to the poor conditions we saw at the start. There’s still some swell around, but the wind just ruins it. The second week is looking pretty grim overall, with the wind staying onshore and the surf becoming a mess, so I wouldn’t be making any long-term plans for that period just yet. It’s looking like a case of getting it while you can.

So, keep your eyes on that forecast. It’s a short but very sweet window from Tuesday through to Thursday of next week. Stay safe out there.

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.
