The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here with the lowdown on Conto Springs. We’re looking at a long-range forecast that starts off ugly, then gets beautiful for a few days, before turning back to messy. You gotta pick your window.
This first stretch, starting Thursday the 10th through the weekend, is basically a write-off. We’ve got swell, from 7ft to 12ft, but it’s all blown out by onshore winds. Lots of wind, lots of chop, nothing worth paddling out for.
Hold on, because Monday the 14th is the day. The morning is a dream for the experienced surfer. A clean 5 mph offshore breeze from the South East, glassy water, and a solid 12ft South West swell. That’s big wave territory, only for experts. The period is 14 seconds, a long-period groundswell, and on a reef like Conto Springs, it’s going to be powerful and well-shaped. The combined energy is massive. Tuesday the 15th stays strong with 10ft of clean swell and offshore winds. Wednesday the 16th is still good for the skilled crowd with a clean 8ft and lighter winds.
Then the wheels come off again on Thursday the 17th with onshore winds and poor conditions. Friday the 18th is a total loss with near gale-force winds and rain. After that, it’s a mixed bag of marginal waves and on-and-off winds.
Sunday the 21st brings a big 13ft swell, but the wind is strong and cross, churning it into a mess. Not a surfer’s day. Things stay marginal until the 23rd.
Tuesday the 23rd of September offers a glimmer of hope. The afternoon sees a 7ft South West swell, with a clean 12 mph offshore breeze. The period is a solid 14 seconds. It’s a good option for the intermediate surfer.
One last thing to watch: Thursday the 25th of September. The morning brings an 8ft South West swell riding a very long 18-second period. That’s classic reef-swell energy. Light cross-shore winds should keep it tidy. The energy level is strong. It’s a promising long-range forecast, but we’ll have to see how it holds up.
Your best bet is to circle Monday the 14th through Wednesday the 16th of September. That run of offshore winds with solid, 12ft to 8ft South West groundswell is the highlight of this whole outlook. The water temperature is about normal for the season.
