The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.

The next couple of weeks are shaping up to be a real mixed bag at Conto Springs. There’s a huge pulse of swell coming through, but with that comes some serious wind and size that will shut things down for most of us. You’ve gotta pick your windows carefully.

We kick off on Friday the 21st of August with a serious amount of energy. The water temperature is sitting at 67°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year – you’ll definitely notice that.

Friday morning is the standout of the whole run. It’s glassy with a clean, light breeze, and the swell is a solid 12 ft from the SW with a very long period of 15 seconds. The combined energy is massive (5267). This is a groundswell, so expect some long lulls between sets, but the waves that come through will have phenomenal shape and power. This is strictly for experts only, as the size and power will be intimidating. Afternoon stays clean with a cross-off wind, keeping the quality high.

Saturday the 22nd drops back a touch to 10 ft, still from the SW, but a moderate cross-off wind keeps it clean. It remains a big, challenging wave for intermediates.

Sunday the 23rd afternoon offers a bit of relief, with 8 ft SW swell and clean conditions. The combined energy is still very high (3594), making for an excellent session for experienced surfers.

From Monday the 24th through Tuesday the 25th, we get a nasty onshore wind pattern that makes a mess of the waves. The swell sticks around 8-10 ft, but with the wind on it, it’s going to be blown-out and poor. Give it a miss.

Wednesday the 26th is the biggest day of the forecast, with a massive 16 ft WSW groundswell and a 18-second period. The combined energy is astronomical (17524). Even though the morning is cross-on and the afternoon is full cross-shore, the sheer size makes this a no-go zone for paddle surfing. This setup looks way more interesting for kite surfing than for us. For a surfer, this is a day to watch from the cliff.

Thursday the 27th drops back to a still significant 13 ft swell, but the wind swings to a clean cross-off. The energy remains very strong (6339). This is for experts only.

Friday the 28th is a great call for experienced surfers. You’ve got clean 8 ft to 8 ft swell from the SW with a solid 12-second period, and most importantly, it’s blowing offshore. The morning is light, the afternoon is moderate – either way, it’s clean and lined up.

After that, the surf drops off. Saturday the 29th is small and choppy, and Sunday the 30th sees the swell jump back up to 10 ft but with nasty onshore winds again.

Looking into the first week of September, Monday the 31st of August afternoon looks promising, with 12 ft WSW swell and a 17-second period, light winds, and a cross-off state. The combined energy is very high (6981) and the forecast is solid for experts.

Saturday the 5th of September is the last call in the distant window. It’s a clean, offshore day with 12 ft SW swell. The period is a shorter 13 seconds, but the moderate offshore wind will be scrubbing the faces clean. It’s a good option for skilled surfers that far out, but treat it as promising rather than certain.

Overall, for any surfer who isn’t an expert, the only real windows are very limited. The standout is undeniably the glassy Friday morning of the 21st of August – that’s your classic big swell, low wind dream scenario for the crew who can handle it.

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.

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.
