The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks at Conto Springs.
The big highlight is this Thursday, August 13th. We’ve got a serious groundswell from the SW, running 4.0m with a very long 17-second period, and the combined wave energy is a massive 9888. Thursday morning has a slight cross-on breeze from the W at 5 km/h, but the afternoon is where the magic happens. The wind swings to the SSW at 10 km/h, going cross-offshore, so the faces will clean right up. The water temp is 19°, which is 2° above normal – much warmer than average for this time of year.
This is expert territory with the size above 2.5m and that long period. The reef here (Conto Springs) is very consistent and handles that long-period swell well, giving long, powerful lines. Crowds are possible, so get out early for the best of it.
Friday, August 14th eases to 3.5m from the SW, still a long 16 seconds, but the morning cross-on N wind at 10 km/h makes it a little bumpy. The afternoon goes onshore from the NW. It’s rideable but not the quality of Thursday.
Saturday, August 15th sees the swell dropping to 2.5m, period shortening to 14 seconds, and a moderate N breeze at 20 km/h bringing chop. The energy is down to 2573. From Sunday, August 16th through Wednesday, August 20th, strong winds (some over 50 km/h) from the north and west will blow the place out. Swells stay solid, 3-5.0m, but it’s all cross-onshore or gale-force. The energy spikes to 14473 on Monday, but it’s blown out. This stretch is better for kiting.
Thursday, August 21st and Friday, August 22nd offer a reprieve. Thursday morning is clean with a moderate SW cross-off wind at 20 km/h, 4.5m swell, and 7642 energy – solid but still a bit marginal. Friday afternoon is cleaner with a light SSW breeze, 3.5m swell, and 4180 energy. Worth a paddle.
The next true standout is Monday, August 24th. Light SSW winds at 10 km/h, cross-off, with a 3.5m WSW swell at 13 seconds and 4586 energy. Excellent for experienced surfers – clean, good shape, long rides.
Tuesday, August 25th brings a 4.0m SW swell with 16 seconds, energy at 8711. Morning has a gentle cross-shore breeze, but the afternoon goes cross-off from the SSW, cleaning up for an exceptional session for experts.
Wednesday, August 26th drops to 2.5m from the SW, with a glassy morning – dead calm. The energy is 2390, but the period of 14 seconds will offer good waves. Perfect for intermediate-to-advanced.
Thursday, August 27th morning is smaller at 2.0m from the WSW, with a light cross-on N breeze. The afternoon gets a fresh N wind at 30 km/h, killing the surface.
Finally, Friday, August 28th – huge. Morning has a 5.5m WSW swell at 17 seconds, energy 32556, but the wind is fresh cross-onshore at 35 km/h. The wave comment says it’s too big for this break. Afternoon is 6.0m with 20816 energy and moderate cross-onshore. Too big and messy for paddling, but the kite crew will be frothing.
Best call: Thursday afternoon, August 13th. Clean cross-off, 4.0m groundswell, and that warm water make it the pick. For a backup, aim for Monday, August 24th afternoon or Tuesday, August 25th afternoon.
Keep your eyes on the horizon.

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.
