The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a solid run of swell on the cards for Conto Springs, but the wind’s gonna be the talk of the town for a lot of it. This is a very consistent reef break that lights up on a good WSW groundswell, and we’ve got plenty of that coming. The water’s sitting at 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – nothing crazy, just a pleasant little anomaly.

The action kicks off Friday afternoon, August 28th. It’s not huge, with 5ft from the SW at 12 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate (933). The wind is a fresh offshore from the SE, so it’ll be clean, but the report flags it as marginal surf – likely a tide issue. Worth a look if you’re keen but don’t expect perfection.

Saturday, August 29th, things step up. The morning has 8ft SW swell with a very long 19-second period. That’s proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy is strong (5344). Wind is a cross-off from the ESE, so it’s clean. This is a standout. That long period at a reef like this? It’ll be lined up and powerful. Afternoon gets even bigger at 10ft, still clean with an offshore SE breeze. This is the pick of the early window – for experienced surfers, this is as good as it gets.

Sunday, August 30th, the swell keeps building but the wind turns. Morning has 12ft at 17 seconds (very strong energy at 6631) but a light cross-on from the north. It’s still rideable, but that clean feel is gone. By afternoon, the wind swings NW onshore and the quality drops hard.

Monday and Tuesday (Aug 31 – Sept 1) are messy. Big swell (8ft to 10ft) but cross-on or lumpy winds keep it from being any good. Wednesday, September 2nd, is a write-off – 12ft to 13ft of SW swell but howling W winds (19-22 mph) make it a noisy, lumpy mess. The energy is massive (10832 on Wednesday afternoon) but it’s a kite-surfing day, not a paddle-in day.

Thursday, September 3rd, the wind eases. Morning has 12ft at 14 seconds, a light cross-shore from the SW, and moderate energy (4171). It’s marginal but glassing off – could be a fun session if the tide’s right. Afternoon gets a bit choppier again.

Friday, September 4th, is another nasty one – 15ft SW swell but 25 mph cross-on wind. That’s for experts only, and even then, it’s hairy. Hang loose.

Saturday, September 5th, the swell is still big (12ft) but the wind is lighter. Morning has a light cross-on from the WSW; afternoon gets choppy. Not a standout.

Now here’s where it gets interesting again. Sunday, September 6th, we get a clean run. Morning has 13ft at 13 seconds with a cross-off SSW breeze – clean waves, moderate energy (5114). Afternoon stays clean. This is big, but it’s clean for the experienced crew.

Monday, September 7th, is absolute glass. Morning has 10ft at 13 seconds, with glassy winds. That’s a magical window for experienced surfers. Afternoon stays clean with a light cross-off. This is the next true standout.

Tuesday, September 8th, keeps the clean theme going. 8ft at 16 seconds, offshore SSE breeze. Gentle and clean. Very good.

Wednesday, September 9th, is the big one. Morning has 10ft at 17 seconds with a light cross-off ENE breeze. Afternoon is unreal – 12ft, 17 seconds, light offshore SE wind, and the combined energy is very strong (7095). The forecast calls this “exceptional” and I’d agree. This is the best day on offer. For experts, it’s a dream.

After that, Thursday, September 10th, gets messy again with strong N winds ruining the 13ft swell. The rest of the run into September 12th is mostly cross-on or choppy, with the swell easing a bit. Saturday, September 12th, offers a clean cross-off window in the afternoon with 8ft at 14 seconds – a nice end to the run.

Bottom line: the best windows are Saturday morning August 29th, Monday September 7th, and the absolute standout – Wednesday September 9th. Get on it.

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. If you surf the same spot (Conto Springs) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
