Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pipe.
We’ve got a real surge of south-west groundswell heading our way, and the standout window is the first few days. This is big, powerful, long-period stuff – think 13 feet at 16 seconds from the SW. The water is sitting at 67.1°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a nice bonus.
The big story is Conto Springs (reef). Monday the 6th kicks off with a bang: 13 ft SW swell, period a very long 16 seconds, and a gentle offshore breeze from the SE. That’s exceptional for experts – the energy is massive, with combined energy at 7612. This is proper groundswell, so the reef and points are where it’ll shine. Tuesday the 7th is the real gem though. The morning is glassy, 11.5 ft SW, 16-second period, and that same clean energy (6469). This is about as good as it gets for the experienced crew. The wind stays offshore through Tuesday afternoon too. Wednesday the 8th starts to get a bit onshore and choppy as the breeze swings west, but the swell’s still holding at 11.5 ft. Thursday the 9th drops off a little and gets more cross-shore, still surfable but not the same quality.
From Friday the 10th through the weekend, the swell backs off to 6-10 ft, and the wind stays messy. Saturday the 11th is marginal with cross-shore chop. The next real spike comes Sunday the 12th – 10 ft SW at 14 seconds, with clean cross-off winds from the south. Then Monday the 13th muscles up again: 13 ft SW, 16 seconds, and clean with light east winds (7237 energy). That’s another standout for experts, but it’s a full week out now, so keep an eye on it.
The middle of the second week gets ugly. Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th are a write-off – strong northerly winds, then a risk of thunderstorms and strong onshore gusts. Friday the 17th sees big 13 ft WSW groundswell but with fresh cross-shore winds and lumpy conditions. By Saturday the 18th, we’re looking at near-gale-force cross-onshore winds, blown out completely. That stretch from the 15th to the 18th is a solid four-day gap with nothing worth paddling out for.
Things start to clean up again toward the end. Monday the 20th is just okay – 8 ft SW, cross-off winds, clean but nothing special. But then Tuesday the 21st, that’s a promising long-range call: 11.5 ft SW at 16 seconds, moderate offshore from the SE, and clean. Combined energy is 5995. That’s expert-level, but it’s 16 days out, so don’t book your flights yet.
All in all, the first two days are the real deal. Tuesday the 7th morning is your best bet – glassy, big, clean. Absolutely firing.

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.
