The Lowdown

G’day, it’s Rusty here. Let’s get straight into what’s happening over the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a solid run of swell on the way, but it’s not all smooth sailing – timing and wind will be everything.

The standout session, without a doubt, is Wednesday afternoon the 26th of August. The water temp is sitting at 19°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a real bonus if you’re paddling out. That afternoon, Conto Springs is pumping with 15 ft of SW swell, a long 16-second period, and clean conditions thanks to a light S cross-off breeze. The energy is very strong (9397), and while this size is only for experienced surfers, it’s going to be firing. If you’re up for it, that’s the call.

Leading into that, Wednesday morning the 19th is also worth a look. Swell is 15 ft from the WSW, period 15 seconds, with a gentle cross-shore breeze. It’s a bit choppy, but the energy is massive (9468). Still, the morning session is only marginal due to tide, so keep that in mind. Thursday the 20th is smaller at 13 ft, cleaner on the afternoon with light cross-shore wind, but again, it’s only okay – not a standout.

Friday the 21st is a treat for early birds. Clear skies, glassy conditions, 11 ft of SW swell with a 15-second period. That’s clean and powerful, but only for experts. The energy is moderate to strong (5267). Saturday morning the 22nd stays clean with 10 ft and a 16-second period, but it’s a step down in size and energy.

There’s a bit of a lull from Sunday the 23rd through to Tuesday the 25th. Swell drops to 8 ft, winds turn onshore or cross-off, and the quality goes south. Monday and Tuesday look poor – onshore winds and messy conditions. Best to give those a miss.

Then we hit that peak on Wednesday afternoon the 26th, which I’ve already talked up. Thursday the 27th morning still has 13 ft of clean SW swell, with a cross-off ESE breeze, but the energy is still high (9110). It’s a solid backup.

From Friday the 28th onward, the swell fades. Sizes drop to 7 ft and below, with cleaner winds but less power. Saturday the 29th has a 6 ft SW swell with a long 17-second period, but it’s cross-shore and a bit gutless. Sunday the 30th sees a pulse of 10 ft WSW swell with a very long 19-second period, but it’s cross-onshore and choppy – not the best.

Monday the 31st and Tuesday the 1st of September are average at best. Tuesday afternoon gets messy with strong onshore winds and 11 ft of SW swell – no good. Wednesday the 2nd of September has a clean offshore breeze (SE) with 10 ft of SW swell, a solid option for experienced surfers, but it’s not a massive standout.

Finally, Thursday the 3rd of September sees 16 ft of WSW swell – that’s massive. But the winds are onshore and it’s just too big for this break. Only for the truly keen experts, and even then, be careful.

So, in summary: the best on offer is Wednesday afternoon the 26th of August. The water’s warm, the swell is meaty, and it’s clean. Get out there if you can.

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.

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.
