The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it. The only spot on the radar for the next 16 days is Conto Springs (reef). Water temp is sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year—nothing wild, but definitely noticeable on a dawny.
The first real window opens up on Monday afternoon, 31st August. We've got a solid 8ft SW groundswell rolling in with a long 16-second period, pushing a massive 3531 units of combined energy. The wind is a cross-off from the SSW at 30 km/h, which keeps things reasonably clean. The comment says marginal due to tides, but for a reef break that likes a bit of size and direction, it's worth a look. That said, the rating is just a 3/5, so it's not firing on all cylinders.
Tuesday 1st September is a bit of a write-off—cross-on wind, choppy, and the scores drop right off. Wednesday 2nd September afternoon shapes up better: the swell bumps to 12ft from the SW, period drops to 13 seconds, but the wind goes light cross-off from the SSW. The comment says "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers"—12ft is hefty, so this is not for the faint-hearted. Combined energy is 3816, moderate-strong.
Thursday 3rd September gets hammered by a big WNW onshore wind, and the swell jumps to 13ft. That's a mess. Friday 4th September morning is a write-off too—20ft SW swell (17968 combined energy, that's a beast) and cross-shore wind. The comment says it's too big for this break. The afternoon is a bit smaller at 18ft, but still cross-on and choppy.
Saturday 5th September is a total loss—gale-force winds, huge messy swell. Ditto for Sunday 6th: 16ft SW groundswell, cross-on, choppy. The whole first week has serious size but the wind is just not playing ball.
The next standout is Thursday 10th September morning. Swell is down to a more manageable 12ft from the SW, period 14 seconds, combined energy 5525. The wind is a glassy cross-off from the SSW at just 5 km/h. The comment says "exceptional surf conditions for expert surfers." That's clean, powerful, and lined up. The afternoon is similar at 10ft, also clean. This is the best of the whole run.
Sunday 13th September afternoon brings a clean 10ft SW swell with a 15-second period and a cross-off from the S at 15 km/h. Clean, excellent for experienced surfers. Monday 14th September morning is a full-on glass-off: zero wind, 10ft SW groundswell, period 15 seconds. The comment says "excellent" again. That's a dream session.
The tail end of the window, Tuesday 15th September, goes back to a fresh onshore breeze and messy conditions. Overall, the first week is a battle with size and wind, but the second week has some absolute gems—especially Thursday 10th and Monday 14th. The reef at Conto Springs should handle the long-period SW groundswell well, but be aware that the 15-second plus swells might make it a bit shifty for the average surfer. This is a spot for the experienced crew.
