The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a ripper of a run shaping up at Conto Springs, a reef set-up that’s exposed and loves a solid SW swell. The water’s sittin’ at a nice 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal this time of year, so the spring suit will feel just fine.

Kicks off proper on the morning of Tuesday, 8th September. We’re greeted with clear skies and a solid 13 ft SW groundswell, with a long 17-second period. That’s pumping some serious energy into the lineup (combined energy rated at 9408). The wind is a clean offshore from the SE at 16 mph. This isn’t for the faint-hearted – 13 ft is expert territory – but for those who can handle it, the conditions are exceptional. It’s a classic big-swell day at a very consistent reef. Keep an eye out for crowds, they get in here sometimes. Tuesday afternoon sees the swell back off a touch to 12 ft, still with a clean offshore breeze at 19 mph, and it remains a solid expert wave.

Wednesday the 9th continues the run. The morning drops to 10 ft SW with a 15-second period, but the wind swings cross-offshore from the ENE, still clean. The real standout for the average punter is Wednesday afternoon: the swell settles to a very manageable 8 ft, period still a generous 15 seconds, and the wind goes absolutely glassy from the NE. Excellent conditions for experienced surfers, clean as a whistle.

We then enter a bit of a dodgy patch. From Thursday the 10th through to Sunday the 13th, the quality slides with cross-shore or onshore winds and lumpy conditions. The swell hangs around the 7 ft to 12 ft mark, but the wind’s not cooperating. Not the window you want to paddle out.

Then we hit the second standout. Monday the 14th morning is magic: a flat calm, glassy morning with a solid 12 ft SW groundswell (14-second period) and zero wind. The energy is big (4747), and it’s clean for experienced surfers. Monday afternoon sees the swell bump to 13 ft with a gentle cross-offshore breeze – still a big, powerful wave for the experts.

Tuesday the 15th morning is another glassy gem: 10 ft SW groundswell, zero wind, clean as. That’s a good window for the experienced crew. The rest of that week through to the 17th holds some clean 8 ft to 8 ft waves with offshore breezes, but the energy is dropping off.

Look, the second week gets pretty wild. From the 18th of September onward, the swell stays huge, often 13 ft to 18 ft, but onshore winds and rain make a mess of things. Not worth paddling into. There’s a glimmer on the 23rd – Wednesday morning and afternoon both have 15 ft to 16 ft SW swell with a light cross-shore breeze, and the combined energy is enormous (9631 and 9935). Those are massive, powerful waves, but with the cross-shore wind, it’s a beast only for the bravest.

So, the best on offer is hands down Tuesday 8th September morning and Monday 14th September morning. Both have big, powerful SW groundswells with clean offshore or glassy winds. Tuesday’s got that extra bit of size and period, making it the pick of the whole run for 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.
