The Lowdown

Alright, listen up, crew. Rusty here.

We’ve got a real solid run of surf on the table for Conto Springs, but you’ve got to pick your moments. The week ahead is a mixed bag of solid, powerful swell and some pretty gnarly wind, so you’ll need to be patient. The water’s sitting at about 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so a bit of a treat.

The first real chance to get wet is Wednesday afternoon, September 2nd. The morning is a write-off with rain showers and a 15 mph cross-wind making a mess of things. But by the afternoon, that wind swings to a gentle cross-off breeze from the SSW, cleaning up the 12 ft SW swell. The energy is pumping at 4023, and it’s a solid, long-period groundswell at 13 seconds. This is an excellent session for experienced surfers. The swell direction is pretty much spot on for Conto’s optimum from the WSW, so the reef should be working nicely.

Skip Thursday entirely. We’ve got howling onshore winds, 25 mph from the WNW, and a huge 13 ft SW swell. That’s a total mess, poor conditions. Not for paddling.

Now, Friday the 4th is interesting. A monster 16 ft SW swell rolls in, with combined energy hitting 8115. That’s a ton of water. The morning is cross-shore, so it’s going to be a bit jumbled. This is expert territory, no question. The swell is over 8 ft, so it’s not for the faint-hearted.

The real standout here is Sunday afternoon, September 6th. This is the one you wait for. The swell is a solid 15 ft from the SW, and the period hits 17 seconds – that’s some serious, long-period groundswell. The energy is off the charts at 12860. But the wind… it’s a 15 mph offshore breeze from the SSE. That’s going to groom the reef to perfection. It’s going to be clean, powerful, and barreling. This is not just a good session; it’s exceptional, and it’s for experts only. Expect crowds, because this spot can get busy, and for a day like this, it will be.

Monday and Tuesday the 7th and 8th keep the quality high. The swell drops to 13 ft and 12 ft, but the wind stays offshore and light. The energy is strong, 7534 and 8364. These are still excellent, clean conditions for experienced surfers with a moderate offshore breeze. The longer period (16-17 seconds) will make the sets waves of consequence, but the gaps between them will be welcome.

The second week is a bit more of a mixed bag. The size drops, and the wind gets a little funky. The standout in the second week is Wednesday, September 16th. The morning kicks off with an 12 ft SW swell and a very long 18-second period, giving it an energy of 7921. The wind is light and cross-shore, so it’ll be a bit textured, but the afternoon is where it’s at. A gentle cross-off from the SSW, 12 ft swell, and 17-second period. The energy is still high at 7705. This is another exceptional, expert-level session.

The rest of the second week, from the 14th to the 17th, has some smaller swell in the 7 ft to 10 ft range, with a mix of cross and cross-on winds. Tuesday morning, the 15th, is worth a mention. It’s glassy. A 10 ft SW swell, 14-second period, and no wind. That’s a clean, glassy morning for intermediate crew. But overall, the second week is more about picking the clean windows than the big days.

Rusty out.

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.
