The Lowdown
G’day, this is Rusty.
Alright, we’ve got a solid run of swell comin’ through at Conto Springs. This is a very consistent reef break (Conto-Springs), it’s exposed to the WSW, so it cops everything that rolls in. The water’s at 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for the season.
The first decent window is Saturday morning, August 29th. We’re lookin’ at a 8ft SW groundswell with plenty of power, and clean conditions with an 12 mph cross-off ESE breeze. It gets a crowd from time to time, but the quality should be there for intermediates.
The real standout, and I mean the best of the lot, is Sunday morning, August 30th. That’s when we get a bigger 12ft SW groundswell, with the combined energy maxing out at 6631. It’s got a long 17-second period – proper groundswell. The wind is light and cross-on from the NNE at 6 mph, but with that size and power, this is gonna be a proper session for those who are comfortable in big waves. It’s definitely an experts-only call at that height.
There’s another decent pulse on Monday afternoon, August 31st – 12ft off the WSW, with the energy jumping to 9021 and a 21 mph cross-off SSW wind keeping it clean. That’s a big number, but the fresh breeze means it’ll be a handful.
Midweek gets messy with onshore winds and dropping quality. From Tuesday through Thursday of that first week, it’s mostly wind-affected and lumpy – not worth paddlin’ out.
Then we hit the magic window. Tuesday morning, September 8th. This is a beauty. 12ft SW groundswell, long 16-second period, and the wind goes glassy – totally flat calm. The energy’s still massive at 5284. The report says it’s exceptional for expert surfers. If you can handle it, that’s the session of the trip.
After that, a few more lumpy days with onshore winds, but keep an eye on Sunday morning, September 13th. The swell drops to a manageable 8ft from the WSW, long 17-second period, and glassy conditions again. That’s a clean, powerful wave for experienced surfers, and a much more relaxed paddle.
So, the pick of the run is Tuesday the 8th (glassy and big), with Sunday the 13th a close second for cleaner, slightly smaller conditions. The rest is onshore slop, so pick your windows.
Rusty.
