The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s chew the fat on what’s coming up for the only spot that’s got anything on the table: Conto Springs.
This is a reef setup, exposed to the SW, and it’s a very consistent wave. That’s the good news. The bad news is that for the first few days, the wind is just not playing ball. The water temp is sitting at 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – not a bad thing if you’re in a springsuit.
The first glimpse of hope is Wednesday morning, the 2nd of September. We’ve got a solid 12ft SW groundswell, with a period of 13 seconds, pushing some serious energy (8727 in the energy readings). The wind is a cross-shore, not perfect, but it’s a step up from the junk before it. It’s a big swell though, over 8ft, so this is one for the experienced crew only. The afternoon cleans right up with a gentle cross-off breeze and the swell stays solid at 12ft – that’s the pick of the first week.
Now, Thursday the 3rd through Saturday the 5th is a write-off. The wind goes onshore and howling, and the swell gets too big and messy. Saturday the 5th is a total no-go with near gale winds. We’re looking at a gap of a few days of poor conditions.
The real standout is way out there, but it looks absolutely mint. Keep your eyes on Sunday the 13th of September. The afternoon session is the one. We’ve got a 13ft WSW groundswell, with a period of 14 seconds, and the wind is a clean offshore breeze from the SSE. That’s a recipe for an exceptional session for experts. The energy is huge (10860). This is a proper, solid groundswell with that long period. It’s going to be powerful and lined up, but that size means it’s strictly for the big-wave chargers.
The Monday the 14th is also a beauty, but a step down in size. The morning is glassy, with a 10ft SW groundswell. That’s pure gold for the experienced surfer. Clean, no wind, and a solid swell. The afternoon stays clean with a light cross-off. That’s a full day of quality.
So, the bottom line: The first week is a struggle with wind, but Wednesday the 2nd afternoon offers a clean window for the experienced. The second week, specifically the afternoon of Sunday the 13th and the morning of Monday the 14th, are the true standouts – but remember, these are long-range calls, so keep your fingers crossed. The crowd factor is a possibility at an exposed reef like this, so be prepared to share.
Rusty.
