The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, let’s take a look at what’s coming up for Conto Springs.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a waiting game. The first few days are a write-off. Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th are blown out, with a messy cross-on breeze and lumpy conditions. The water’s sitting at 68°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.

Things start to turn Thursday morning, the 16th, but it’s still not the best. The wind swings to a cross-off, cleaning it up, and we’ve got a solid 10ft SW groundswell (14 seconds), but it’s a big, powerful wave for experienced surfers only. The combined energy is moderate (3775). Worth a look if you’re confident, but not the standout.

Friday the 17th is a dud again with onshore winds and rain.

The weekend is a no-go. Saturday the 18th sees a massive 18ft SW swell (17 seconds) roll in, but the cross-on wind is howling at 22 mph. The energy is insane (31722), but it’s too big and messy for this spot. Sunday the 19th is a write-off, and Monday the 20th is the same story with strong onshore winds.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Wednesday the 22nd is the real standout. We’ve got a clean, offshore wind from the SE, light to moderate (9-12 mph), and a solid 13ft SW groundswell (14 seconds) dropping to 12ft in the afternoon. The energy is strong (5893), and the conditions are described as exceptional for expert surfers. This is the one to circle – proper, clean, heavy waves at Conto Springs. The crowd situation is “sometimes,” so you might have some company, but it’ll be worth it.

Thursday the 23rd is a step down, with a cross-off breeze holding the 10ft SW swell (15 seconds) together, but it’s only marginal. The energy is still strong (4079), but looks a bit more inconsistent.

The weekend after that goes downhill again. From Friday the 24th through to Monday the 27th morning, it’s mostly onshore and lumpy, with small to moderate swell. Not worth the paddle.

However, Monday the 27th afternoon and Tuesday the 28th morning offer a final chance. On Monday afternoon, we get a light cross-off wind and a clean 8ft SW swell (13 seconds) – excellent for experienced surfers. The energy is moderate (1788). A solid option if you missed the earlier window.

Then Wednesday the 29th brings a very interesting moment. In the morning, we have a glassy, 5ft SW groundswell with a very long period of 19 seconds. That’s a rare, clean, long-period groundswell. The energy is moderate (2038). It’s a bit smaller, but those long lines will be perfect for the reef, and the glassy conditions are a major plus. This is the second standout.

Finally, Thursday the 30th finishes the run with a moderate offshore wind from the SSE and a solid 10ft SW swell (17-18 seconds). The morning is marginal, but the afternoon is described as exceptional for experts. The energy is strong (8425). Another solid day for the experienced crew.

So, to sum it up: the best windows are Wednesday the 22nd for the biggest, cleanest swell, and Wednesday the 29th for the rare, glassy, long-period groundswell. Everything else is either blown out or too big for the conditions.

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.
