The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
We’ve got a solid run of swell on the way for Conto Springs, a classic reef setup that’s exposed and ready to fire. The water temp is sittin' about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there. The first week is where the real magic lives, so let’s break it down.
Monday morning the 7th kicks things off with a thumping 12ft SW groundswell, period a meaty 16 seconds. That’s a long period groundswell, which at a reef like Conto Springs will set up some proper walls. The wind is light offshore from the SE at 9 mph, so the faces will be clean. The combined energy is absolutely pumping at 6512 (strong), but this size is for experienced surfers only. Tuesday morning the 8th is the standout of the whole run: 13ft SW swell, 17-second period, offshore ESE breeze at 16 mph. Combined energy hits 9701 (very strong). That’s big, powerful, and clean – expert territory, but what a session it’ll be. Wednesday afternoon the 9th offers a change of pace: 10ft SW, still a nice 15-second period, but with glassy conditions as the wind drops to 3 mph from the SW. That’s a sweet window for experienced surfers.
Thursday the 10th drops to 6ft SW, and while the afternoon goes glassy again, it’s a smaller option. Friday the 11th through Sunday the 13th is a write-off – onshore winds and messy, lumpy conditions. Not worth paddling out for. Then Monday morning the 14th sees an ENE glass-off with 12ft SW swell and clean surf, a good call for experienced crew again.
After that, the second week is a bit of a mixed bag. Tuesday the 15th offers clean 8ft to 8ft SW with light offshore winds, decent for intermediates. But from Wednesday the 16th onward, the wind turns onshore and the quality drops hard. There’s a big pulse on the 20th (15ft SW, 18-second period, energy at 13532), but it’s cross-on and choppy – more of a might-be-interesting-for-kitesurfing setup than a clean paddle session. The last few days into the 22nd are blown out with onshore wind and big, messy swell.
Best on offer: Without a doubt, Tuesday morning the 8th. That 13ft SW groundswell, long period, and clean offshore breeze is the dream window. For a slightly mellower but still excellent option, Wednesday afternoon the 9th with glassy conditions is a close second.
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.
