The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here with a look at what's ahead for Conto Springs over the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a big, persistent run of SW groundswell on the cards, but it’s a mixed bag. The water is sitting at a rich 67°F right now, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year – a real treat if you’re getting in.

The action kicks off Thursday the 20th, but don’t get too excited. We’ve got a solid 13ft SW swell pushing in, with a long 16-second period. The wave energy is strong at 7073, but the wind is on it from the WSW at 15 km/h, making for a cross-onshore chop. It’s not clean, it’s a bit of a wrestle. Not the best entry point.

Now, Friday the 21st is where you want to be. The swell drops a touch to 12ft from the SW, but the period is still a meaty 15 seconds. The real magic is the glassy conditions in the morning – that’s a win. A high-quality window for expert-level surfing. The afternoon sees a light cross-shore creep in, but the morning will be pure.

Saturday the 22nd keeps things clean. The swell settles to 10ft from the SW, with a light cross-offshore breeze from the SSW at 9 mph. Expect clean, well-shaped lines all day. The wave energy is still moderate at 3955 for the morning. It’s a solid choice for experienced surfers.

Sunday the 23rd has a bit more wind on it, a moderate breeze from the south at 12 mph, but it’s cross-offshore so the surf stays clean. Swell drops to 8ft and the period is still 13 seconds. A decent option, but not the standout of the week.

Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th are not looking good. The wind swings onshore from the NNW, turning things messy and lumpy. Wave quality drops right off. Tuesday afternoon sees the swell bump back up to 10ft but with onshore wind, it’s a write-off.

We get a pulse of big energy mid-week. Wednesday the 26th sees the combined swell energy spike to 12013 – that’s very strong. A 15ft SW swell with a 17-second period. It’s a beast, but the wind is moderate cross/offshore from the SSW. It’s going to be a big, powerful, clean day for experts only. Thursday the 27th keeps similar size but with a strong breeze from the SSW at 28 mph. It’ll be clean but gnarly – definitely not for the faint of heart, and the wind is getting strong.

The first few days of September through to the 4th look challenging. A huge pulse of 16ft+ swell arrives around the 1st, but with strong onshore winds, it’s going to be largely blown out and unsurfable for paddle surfing. This is kite-surfing territory. The swell energy is massive – over 16612 on the morning of the 1st – but the conditions just aren’t on our side.

The standout window is hands-down Friday the 21st morning for the glassy, clean conditions on a solid 12ft SW groundswell. The secondary pick is Saturday the 22nd for a full day of clean, powerful surf. Stay safe out there.

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. 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.
