The Lowdown
Alright folks, listen up, it's Rusty again. Let's break this down for Conto Springs.
Water temp is about average for the time of year, sitting just under 64°F. The first few days are a total loss, so don't bother on Wednesday the 16th.
The big, standout session for this run is going to be Sunday the 20th. Sunday afternoon is the one. We've got a solid 12ft groundswell from the SW with a very long 16-second period, giving it real punch. The wind is offshore from the SE, clean as a whistle, and the combined energy is pumping at 5123 (moderate). This is expert-only territory due to the size, but it will be a world-class wave.
Before that, Sunday morning the 20th is also a cracker. Still a meaty 8ft from the SW, 12-second period, clean with a cross-offshore breeze from the S, and energy at 1984 (moderate). A solid, clean option for experienced surfers.
The following week gets messy. Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd look marginal with onshore winds, so quality will suffer.
For those looking way ahead, circle Wednesday the 30th of September. The morning shows a big 13ft SW swell with a very long 17-second period, light cross-shore winds, and massive energy at 8296 (strong). It's marked as marginal due to tides, but if it lines up, it'll be a proper session.
Thursday the 1st of October also looks promising. A 10ft SW groundswell, glassy in the morning, turning offshore in the afternoon. Clean, powerful, and well-shaped for experienced surfers.
Watch out for Saturday the 26th and 27th of September. The swell is forecast to be enormous – up to 20ft. The wind is clean, but it's way too big for this spot. That setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing; don't even think about it on a shortboard.
My best advice: Sunday the 20th is the one to chase. The later options are promising but less certain. That's it from me.
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.

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.
