The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for Conto Springs over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, the water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting around 65°F, which is a nice bonus. Wednesday morning kicks off with a solid 10ft SW groundswell running on a 15-second period. That’s serious energy and with a gentle NE cross-off breeze, it’s going to be clean. This is excellent for experienced surfers. Wednesday afternoon turns glassy with the wind dropping to nothing from the WSW, and the swell holds at 10ft. That’s the standout of the first few days.

Thursday morning the swell backs off to about 7ft, but the wind is cross from the NNE, making it a bit average. The afternoon, however, is glassy again with a SSW breeze, so if you can wait, the afternoon session Thursday will be clean and fun for the better surfers.

Friday and Saturday are a write-off. The wind cranks onshore and the swell gets messy with a cross-chop, so don’t bother paddling out. The energy is high, but the quality is zero.

Sunday is still messy with strong cross-onshore winds, but there’s a glimmer of hope late Sunday afternoon as the wind swings cross-shore and the swell pushes 12ft. Still, it’s marginal.

Monday 14th September is the next true standout. Monday morning is glassy with a W wind, light as a feather, and the swell is a strong 12ft from the SW with a 14-second period. This is excellent for experienced surfers, and the conditions will be pristine. The afternoon picks up even more energy with a clean cross-off breeze from the south. This is your best window in the first week.

Tuesday and Wednesday of that week hold good, clean conditions with offshore winds, but the swell drops a little. Still, you’ll get clean, lined-up waves with 8ft to 10ft swells.

Then we hit a rough patch from Thursday 17th September through the weekend. Onshore winds and building, messy swell. By Saturday 19th September, the swell is massive—20ft from the WSW with a 14-second period—but the wind is a strong cross-onshore, and the energy is huge. That’s not for paddling; that’s for charging on a jet ski or watching from the cliff. It’s simply too big for this break.

The big one to circle on your calendar is Tuesday 22nd September. Morning session: offshore SSE wind at 15 mph, 12ft SW groundswell on a 16-second period, with exceptional energy. The report calls it “exceptional for expert surfers.” That’s the cleanest, most powerful window of the whole outlook. The afternoon has strong offshore winds, but it’s hard to paddle into, so hit the dawn patrol.

Wednesday 23rd September also looks promising with a 17ft SW swell and offshore winds, but the energy is even higher. That’s expert territory, and it’s going to be a freight train. If you’re good enough, this is your session.

From Thursday 24th onwards, the swell drops back to 10ft to 12ft with onshore or cross winds, so it’s back to being average.

Bottom line: the best windows are Wednesday 9th September afternoon and Monday 14th September morning, but the absolute standout is Tuesday 22nd September morning. That’s the one to wait for.

Keep an eye on the long-range stuff; it’s promising but we’ll know more closer to the day.

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.

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.
