The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Conto Springs. We’ve got a solid window of south-west groundswell on the way, but the wind is going to be the boss of this show. The first day is the clear headline act, so don't miss it.

Tuesday the 8th of September is your day. Tuesday morning we’re looking at a strong 13ft of SW swell slamming into the reef at Conto Springs (Cape to Cape). The energy is huge at 9408, and with a clean 25 km/h SE offshore, it’s game on. The period is a long 17 seconds, so it’s proper groundswell with plenty of push. This is expert territory, no question, but it’s going to be a session to remember. The afternoon backs off to 12ft, but the offshore holds at 30 km/h and it’s still well overhead and powerful.

Wednesday the 9th is still chunky, but the wind turns a bit tricky. The morning has a cross-offshore ENE breeze at 20 km/h with 10ft of SW swell. It’s still clean and surfable, but the sparkle is off it. The afternoon is a different story – the wind dies completely to glass, with the swell holding at 10ft. It might get a bit soft without the wind, but for the experienced crew, it could still be a classic.

Then the surf drops off. From Thursday the 10th to the end of that week, it’s smaller and messier. Swell heights fall below 8ft, and the winds are a cross-on/onshore mess. There are a few clean patches, but the energy is fading fast into the 1000-2000 range, so it’s a poor run of waves. The weekend is a total blowout with near-gale cross-onshore winds.

The second week is smaller and less consistent. Monday the 14th has some 12ft waves but it’s onshore and junky. There’s a brief, clean-ish window on Wednesday afternoon the 16th with light cross-offshore winds and 7ft of swell, but it’s weak. Friday the 18th gets blasted by a strong breeze, and the weekend is just choppy, close-out slop.

The run finishes with a massive promise. On Wednesday morning the 23rd, nine days out, the forecast is for a colossal 21ft of SW swell with a long 16-second period. The energy is off the charts at 22261. The wind is predicted to be offshore and clean, but this is far too big for the break. That’s not a surf day – that’s a spectator sport.

So, the call is easy: Tuesday morning, the 8th of September. Big, clean, and powerful. That’s the standout. After that, hold tight and see if the long-range monster stays on track. Take care.

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. 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. If you surf the same spot (Conto Springs) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
