The Lowdown
Righto, let's get into this. We've got one spot on the radar for this stretch, and it's a proper reef setup that's very consistent. The water's sitting at 67°, which is 4° warmer than usual for this time of year, so that's a noticeable blessing.
The run starts strong. Thursday the 20th is a bit average with a 13ft SW swell, but the wind is cross and messy, so it's not the pick. The real standout is Friday the 21st. Friday morning you get an 12ft SW swell with a period of 15 seconds and glassy conditions. That's about as clean as it gets for a wave that size. The energy is strong (5267), and it'll be a proper session for anyone who knows what they're doing. That afternoon holds clean too, with a cross-off breeze. Saturday the 22nd morning is also excellent, with a 10ft SW swell and a 16-second period, clean again. The energy is still solid (4136). This is the best window.
Sunday the 23rd drops a bit in size and quality, and by Monday the 24th onshore winds ruin it. Tuesday the 25th is a write-off with strong onshores. Then Wednesday the 26th gets interesting but dangerous. We're looking at a massive 18ft SW swell with a very long 19-second period. The combined energy is enormous (20459). The wind is clean, but this is only for absolute experts – too big for most. It's a beast.
Thursday the 27th stays big at 16ft with a fresh offshore wind, which will be pretty raw. Friday the 28th backs down to a manageable 10ft with a clean offshore breeze, nice for experienced surfers. Saturday the 29th morning is another gem – a smaller 5ft swell with glassy, calm conditions. A rare, clean, small-wave day for everyone.
After that, it gets ugly. From Sunday the 30th right through to the end of the forecast on Friday the 4th of September, the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is either too big or messy. There's a chunk of days there with nothing worthwhile.
Best of the lot: Friday the 21st morning for the glassy, big-wave perfection, and Saturday the 22nd morning for a slightly smaller but still clean, long-period swell. For the less intense crowd, Saturday the 29th morning is a true standout for a clean, small-wave glass-off.

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).
