The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Conto Springs over the next couple weeks. It's the only spot we're looking at, a solid reef that loves a good southwest groundswell. Water temp is nothing special, just about normal for this time of year. Gotta pick your windows though, it’s not all good.
Wednesday the 16th starts messy in the morning with a cross-on breeze, but the afternoon is a total glass-off. Wind drops to zero, water goes flat, and there’s a clean 2-foot SW swell with a very long 16-second period. Combined swell energy is strong. This is clean, lined-up reef riding for the intermediate surfer. Expect some company though – crowds can show up.
Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th look like a total washout. Strong winds and building chop shut it down. Friday afternoon is a mess with 13-foot W windswell and howling gusts. Saturday the 19th is still junk with 11-foot WSW and cross-on wind. Stay out.
Sunday the 20th turns it around. Morning has a clean 7-foot WSW swell with light cross-off wind, and the afternoon gets even better with 8-foot SW swell and a 16-second period. Energy is pumping. That’s a real fun day for experienced surfers. Monday the 21st keeps it going with a solid 10-foot SW swell and clean conditions in the afternoon.
Tuesday the 22nd is a proper standout. Afternoon has offshore wind from the SSE at 12 mph, glassy, and a 10-foot SW swell with a 14-second period. Combined energy is big. This is powerful, clean reef surf. Wednesday and Thursday are a little smaller but still clean and rideable around 7 to 8 feet.
Then the big stuff hits. Friday the 25th. Huge, massive 16-foot SW groundswell with an extremely long 19-second period. Combined swell energy is screaming. This is expert-only territory – dangerous and way overhead. Wind is light cross-shore, so it’s not blown out, but only the best should even look at it. Saturday the 26th stays huge and ugly.
The last few days ease back. Sunday the 27th through Tuesday the 29th sees the swell dropping to 10 feet and then down to 6 feet, clean again. But Tuesday the 29th morning is the real standout of the whole run. Clean 13-foot SW swell, 19-second period, light cross-off wind, and insane energy. This is exceptional, big, clean surf for experts only.
So, the call: hit Wednesday the 16th afternoon for that glass, then Sunday the 20th and Monday the 21st for clean fun. The absolute top moment is Tuesday the 29th if you’ve got the skill. After that, the first few days of October offer clean, mellow leftovers.

A general guide to surfing at Conto Springs can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
