The Lowdown
Alright, let's talk about what's cookin' at Conto Springs. The water's hangin' around 64°, just a hair warmer than normal for this time of year, nothin' crazy.
We gotta wade through a little bit of junk to get to the good stuff. Wednesday the 16th morning is a bit meh with a NNW breeze, but the afternoon cleans right up to glass. You've got a solid 6ft of clean SW swell with a long 16-second period, and the wave energy is pumpin' (1664). That afternoon session is a real highlight for the early part.
Then the wind loses its mind. Thursday and Friday are a total loss with strong onshore stuff, and by Saturday the 19th it's a massive 13ft cross-onshore mess. The energy is off the charts (9788) but you wouldn't paddle out on a bet. Kite surfers might love it, but not for us.
Sunday the 20th morning is a nice clean-up. A clean cross-off breeze and 8ft of SW groundswell at a nice 12 seconds. That's a big boy wave, so leave the foamies at home. The afternoon pushes it to 10ft with the energy jumpin' (4136), still clean but gettin' serious. Monday the 21st keeps that size but the wind turns onshore, so it gets lumpy.
We got a long stretch from Tuesday the 22nd all the way to Monday the 28th where it's mostly choppy and cross-shore, with chest to head-high sets but messy conditions. It's a bit of a dry spell for quality.
But hold onto your wetsuit for the end of the window. Tuesday the 29th sees a massive 12ft SW groundswell with a very long 17-second period, energy at 6851, and only a light cross-onshore breeze. That's a freight train on the reef. The absolute standout, though, is Wednesday the 30th. Glassy in the morning with a clean 10ft SW, and then Wednesday afternoon hits you with an exceptional 10ft SW at 16 seconds, clean cross-off breeze, and the energy is enormous (5021). That is the one to circle. It's big, it's clean, and it's for experts only. Then Thursday October 1st keeps that clean vibe with offshore breezes and glassy conditions, with the swell still solid at 8ft.
So for the best, you're lookin' at Wednesday afternoon the 16th for a cleaner, smaller session, and then absolutely clear your calendar for Wednesday the 30th through Thursday October 1st for the real pumping, clean, big-wave magic.

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.
