The Lowdown

Alright, check it out. This is Rusty, and I’m looking at the next couple of weeks for Conto Springs. It’s a mixed bag, but there are some serious windows if you pick your moments.

The first few days are a write-off. We’ve got messy, onshore winds and lumpy conditions through the 12th and 13th. Not worth paddling out for that chop. Then things start to settle. Monday the 14th is where it starts to get real. The wind swings offshore from the southeast, and we’ve got a solid 13ft of SW swell, with the energy reading a strong 5772. The water temp is about average for this time of year. It’s going to be big and powerful, with a 14-second period – a proper groundswell. This is going to be a handful, strictly for the experienced crew, as the reef will be working. It’s a standout.

Tuesday the 15th is your pick of the first week. The wind looks glassy, almost nothing in the morning, and the swell is still a healthy 10ft from the SW, with a similar 14-second period. The energy is still strong at 3619. This is where you want to be. Conditions will be clean, and for the skilled surfer, this is a fantastic day. The swell direction is lining up perfectly with what this place likes.

We then hit a bit of a lull. Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th see the swell dropping and winds turning onshore again. It’s smaller, weaker, and not really worth the effort. Then Friday the 18th is a complete blowout – gale-force winds and rain. That’s a total storm day, stay home.

Hold onto your board for Saturday the 19th. The swell is back with a vengeance, but it’s a different story. The morning has a huge 18ft SW swell with the energy going through the roof at 22267. The wind is cross-off and clean, but this is way too big, even for this place. A surfer could get hurt. The afternoon is the real deal, though. The swell eases to 15ft, with the wind going more offshore from the SSE. It’s still big and powerful, but the "exceptional conditions for expert surfers" comment says it all. Another true standout for the pros.

The rest of that weekend and into Monday the 21st is still big, in the 13-16ft range, but the wind is a bit tricky and the conditions are a bit more average. Not the same quality as Saturday.

Looking further out, the following Tuesday the 22nd and Thursday the 24th look promising again. We’ve got solid 13ft and 12ft swells, again from the SSW/SW with long periods, and offshore or cross-off winds. The energy is still strong. These are excellent days for experienced surfers, with the Tuesday morning looking particularly clean. The wave direction is right on, and it’s all lining up. These are promising, but as always, the further out we go, the less certain it is.

The very end of the period, around the 26th and 27th, sees another pulse of big swell, but the winds are a bit more on it, so it’s not looking as clean.

So, bottom line: if you’re an expert, circle Tuesday the 15th and Saturday the 19th as your best bets. The 22nd and 24th are also well worth keeping an eye on. For everyone else, it’s a waiting game for a smaller day with light winds.

Anyway, that’s the scoop from down here.

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.
