The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty, checking in with a look at what's coming our way. We've got a solid run of swell on the cards, but the early part of the week is for the experienced crew only. Hang tight, because the back half of this outlook has some absolute crackers.

We are looking at a big, long-period groundswell rolling in from the WSW, and it's packing a punch. The water temp is sitting at a warm 66°, which is a bit warmer than normal for this late in August.

Right off the bat, we're talking about Conto Springs, a reef setup that holds swell really well. Wednesday the 26th is going to be pumping. The morning session sees a solid 16ft swell from the WSW, with a super long period of 18 seconds – that's proper groundswell energy, 14166 on the energy scale, so it's strong. The wind is a cross-off, keeping things clean, but this is no joke. At this size, it's expert territory only. The afternoon holds similar size and quality.

Thursday the 27th drops a touch in size, coming in around 13ft from the SW, with the period still a very long 15 seconds. The wind is firing straight offshore from the SE at 18 mph, making for some glassy, clean faces. The energy is still massive (6356). Still only for the highly skilled.

Friday the 28th sees the swell back off to a more manageable 6ft, but the offshore wind remains strong. The energy drops off (1140), making it a better window for those with a little less experience, though still punchy.

The weekend, the 29th and 30th, hangs in there with 8ft to 10ft sets. Saturday morning has a clean cross-off, but by Sunday the wind turns onshore from the NNW, putting a bit of a chop on it. The energy stays moderate to strong in the 5000-6000 range.

Monday the 31st is a mixed bag. The morning is messy with onshores, but the afternoon swings around to a clean S-SE cross-off, blowing right across the face of a 10ft WSW swell. That afternoon window will be clean and fun.

Things get a bit dicey on Wednesday the 2nd of September and Thursday the 3rd with strong onshore winds making it choppy and lumpy. No one's going to be stoked on that.

Now, here's the real standout. Look at Monday the 7th of September. The morning is an absolute gem. We’ve got a 13ft SW groundswell with a 17-second period, pushing 8412 on the energy scale. The wind is a whisper-light S/SW breeze, practically glassy. This is described as exceptional conditions for experts. That's the session you want to plan around. The afternoon holds clean but drops off a touch at 12ft.

The following week kicks off with another solid pulse. Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th of September see another big, clean swell. Wednesday morning is 18ft from the SW with a 14-second period and cross-off winds – that’s massive, clean, and a strong energy reading of 12771. Thursday the 10th holds at 13ft with clean cross-off winds again. This second week run is looking very promising, though remember, we're looking a fair way out, so keep an eye on the charts.

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.
