The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get into it. This is a classic reef setup, very consistent, but it’s going to be a wild ride over the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a massive pulse of long-period groundswell arriving right off the bat. Thursday morning, the 13th of August, sees a solid 13ft SW swell with a super long period of 17 seconds. The combined energy is a massive 9888, which is strong. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there. The wind is a light 6 mph westerly, but it’s cross-onshore, so we’ll have a bit of texture on the face. Still, it’s the best of the early window. Thursday afternoon holds similar size and energy, just a touch more cross-shore wind. This is a standout for the first week, but with that size and power, it’s strictly for experienced surfers.

Friday morning, the 14th, drops slightly to 12ft from the SW, period still 16 seconds, energy 5731. The wind goes light north at 3 mph, but it’s still cross-onshore. It’s clean-ish but not as good as Thursday. By Friday afternoon, the wind swings northwest and goes directly onshore, making it messier.

Then we hit a rough patch. Saturday and Sunday, the 15th and 16th, are a write-off with moderate to fresh northerly winds, choppy conditions, and dropping swell quality. Monday the 17th is a total disaster: near-gale westerly winds up to 31 mph, combined energy hits a staggering 13680 but with 16ft SW swell and blown-out, dangerous conditions. This is kite-surfing territory, not paddle surfing.

Tuesday the 18th sees a lull in the wind, but the swell is still a massive 16ft from the WSW, energy 14658. The wind is gentler, but still cross-onshore, so it’s a messy, powerful beast—only for the brave.

We get another dud from Wednesday the 19th through to Friday the 21st with strong winds and poor conditions. The 22nd of August, Saturday, shows some promise: a 7ft SW swell with a 19-second period, energy 7087, and moderate cross-onshore winds. The period is very long, so it’ll be a groundswell with long lulls and powerful, peaky waves at the reef. It’s a marginal call but a possible session if you’re patient.

The 26th of August, Wednesday, is a real standout in the second week. We get 12ft WSW swell, period 15-16 seconds, energy 6839, and the wind is a light south to south-southwest at 3 mph, which is cross-offshore. The conditions are described as clean, and it’s exceptional for expert surfers. This is the one to pencil in—if you can handle the size, it’ll be perfect.

The 28th of August, Friday, is a letdown with fresh northerly winds and lumpy conditions.

So, the best of the bunch is Thursday the 13th for the early window, and Wednesday the 26th for the later period. Both are big, powerful, and best left to the experts.

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.
