The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s heading our way.

We’ve got a solid run of surf on the cards, but it’s a story of two halves. The first few days are looking prime for the experienced crew, then things get messy before a massive, late-period pulse shows up. The key spot on the radar is Conto Springs, a reef setup that loves a good SW groundswell. The water temp is sitting at 64°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might get away with a slightly thinner suit.

Monday the 14th kicks things off with some serious muscle. We’re looking at a 12ft SW groundswell, with a very long 14-second period. The combined energy is massive, clocking in at over 5000 (5167). Winds are offshore from the SE, keeping it clean. This is serious, powerful swell – over 8ft so it’s strictly for the experts only. It’s going to be a big, heavy day out there.

Tuesday the 15th eases off just a touch to a 10ft SW swell, period still a very long 14 seconds. The wind swings light easterly in the morning, going cross-offshore, so conditions will still be clean and lined up. Energy is still pumping (4024). Another day for the experienced surfer to get amongst it.

Wednesday the 16th sees the swell drop to 6ft, with a lighter N wind in the morning making things a bit bumpy. The afternoon cleans up nicely though, with a glassy SSW breeze going cross-offshore and a 6ft swell stretching out to a very long 16-second period. The energy is still moderate (1664) and it’ll be a fun, manageable size.

Then we hit a rough patch. Thursday the 17th through to Wednesday the 23rd is a write-off – strong onshore winds and lumpy, poor quality surf for the most part. There are a couple of clean windows around Friday the 18th and Thursday the 24th, but the swell is either jumping up with a bad wind or dropping too small with a cross/onshore flow. Honestly, not worth paddling out for unless you’re desperate.

Now, hold onto your boards. Friday the 25th is the standout, but it’s a full 11 days away so treat it as promising, not locked in. The models are showing a monster 18ft to 20ft SW groundswell with an absurdly long 19-second period. The combined energy is absolutely devastating – 36454 on the morning. This is a once-in-a-while size. For a heavy reef like Conto Springs, this is going to be colossal, dangerous, and way, way too big for anyone but the absolute elite. Winds look light and favorable, with a cross-offshore southerly in the afternoon, so it’ll be clean, but the size is the story here. This is not a paddle situation; this is a tow-in or watch-from-the-cliffs kind of day.

Saturday the 26th brings more of that energy, dropping to a still-massive 15ft SW swell. The SE wind is strong and offshore, keeping the face clean, but at 13ft it’s still huge and only for experts.

After that, Sunday the 27th and Monday the 28th offer some more manageable 8ft to 10ft SW swells with light winds, making for a solid, cleaner end to the run. Overall, the absolute best bet for the skilled surfer is that first wave of energy on Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th. For the masochists, that Friday the 25th bomb is the one to daydream about.

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.

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.
