The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking at Conto Springs. This reef break is exposed to the WSW and is very consistent, so even when it’s quiet, it usually bounces back quick.
The start of the period is a write-off. Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th have some size – 7ft to 12ft – but the wind is onshore and strong, making it a choppy, lumpy mess. Not worth it.
The first real day to look at is Monday the 14th. That’s the standout early on. The wind turns offshore from the SE, and we get a clean 12ft to 13ft swell from the SW with a 14-second period. The combined energy is solid at 5772. This is strictly for experienced surfers – that’s a lot of power on a reef. The water temp is 65°, a touch warmer than usual for the time of year.
Tuesday the 15th stays clean with offshore wind and a still-strong 10ft SW swell (3669 energy). A great follow-up.
Then Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th drop off in size and get choppy again.
The big one on the horizon is Monday the 21st of September. By the afternoon, the wind goes offshore from the SSE, and the swell is a clean 13ft from the SW with a 16-second period. The combined energy hits 8139 – that’s a lot of water moving. Exceptional for experts.
But the true standout is Friday the 25th of September. Morning delivers a 13ft SW swell (9178 energy) with moderate offshore wind. The afternoon bumps up to 15ft (11719 energy) with fresh offshore wind. That’s a huge, clean, powerful swell on the reef. Mark it down, but it’s far out so stay tuned.
Saturday the 26th still has offshore wind, but the swell drops to a more manageable 10ft.
There are gaps at the start and around the 16th, but with a consistent reef like this, the surf never stays gone for long.
Rusty.

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.
