The Lowdown
Hey, it’s Rusty. Alright, let’s break this down for the Conto Springs area. The next couple of days are a rough patch with big, stormy surf and strong westerly winds—nothing you’d want to paddle into. But after that, there’s some real gold.
Monday the 14th is your top pick. A solid 13ft swell from the SW, with a long 14-second period, and the energy is pumping—strong at 5693 combined. The wind comes offshore from the SE at 12 mph, keeping it glassy and clean. This is big wave territory, well over 8ft, so only the experts should be out there. The reef will be handling that groundswell beautifully, and the swell direction is exactly what this spot loves. Crowds can show up, so get your spot early.
Tuesday the 15th is another standout, slightly smaller at 10ft, but early morning you get glassy, near-calm winds from the E at just 3 mph. Swell period stays long at 14 seconds, combined energy at 3777. It’s excellent for skilled surfers—clean, powerful, and well-shaped. The water temp is 65°, a touch warmer than usual, so not too bad for this time of year.
The weekend is a bust. Saturday and Sunday the 12th and 13th are blown out, choppy, and ugly. Forget it. Wednesday the 16th drops to 6ft, but onshore winds chop it up. Thursday and Friday are messy again with strong winds. Saturday the 19th sees a massive 18ft wave from the SW, combined energy up to 9538, but winds are cross-off, so it might be clean but extremely dangerous—only for the true chargers.
In the second week, Monday the 21st brings 15ft from the SW with 16-second period, but cross-onshore winds spoil it. The best of that week is Wednesday the 23rd, with 8ft from the SW, a moderate offshore from the SE at 19 mph, keeping things clean. Combined energy is 2610, solid but not epic. Thursday the 24th has smaller 6ft waves with clean cross-off winds, good for intermediates.
Overall, don’t bother with this weekend. The magic is on Monday and Tuesday of the first week. After that, you’re hunting for windows of clean wind between the big, unruly swells.

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.

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.
