The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here again, but we’re switching to feet and Fahrenheit for the other side of the tape.

Let’s talk about Conto Springs. We’ve got a wild ride ahead over the next couple weeks, and you’re gonna want to pick your sessions carefully. This is a serious reef setup, exposed to the big south-west energy, so when it’s on, it’s a proper show, but when the wind gets out of hand, this place can turn into a washing machine.

Right off the bat, the first call is Tuesday morning, September 15th. Straight up, that’s the standout for the whole run if you’ve got the stones for it. We’re looking at a solid 10 ft groundswell pumping in from the SW with a 14-second period, combining for some serious energy (4024). The wind is a light 3 mph cross-off from the ESE, which is going to have that reef glassing up nicely. This is clean, powerful, and holding a lot of water – the combined energy reading is well into the strong range. This is an expert-only zone today, mate. The water temp is about average for the season, so no need to overthink the rubber. Crowds can roll through here sometimes, but with this size and the early morning call, you might get a few sneaky ones to yourself.

Tuesday afternoon holds the same 10 ft swell, with a 12 mph offshore breeze from the SE. It’s still clean and powerful (3467), a solid option if the morning is too daunting.

Wednesday the 16th shows the swell backing down a touch. The morning is a bit messy with a cross-on wind, but the afternoon on Wednesday is a real dark horse. The swell drops to 6 ft, but it’s a long-period 16-second SW groundswell. The wind goes glassy – absolute zero – with a slight air. The energy is still moderate (1668). For a more intermediate surfer, this window on Wednesday afternoon is probably the best quality you’ll see relative to the difficulty. Clean, lined-up, and less intimidating.

Then we hit a rough patch. Thursday the 17th through Saturday the 19th is a write-off. We’ve got strong cross-on winds, building to 18 mph and over, turning that clean reef into a choppy, lumpy mess. The swell build gets huge – we’re talking 12 ft and 13 ft – but the wind just destroys it. The energy is massive (5182 and 4704), but it’s all wasted. If you’re a kiter, you might look at it sideways, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a hard pass. That’s about three days of no-go.

Sunday the 20th brings a reprieve. The morning is glassy again – 3 mph from the WSW. The swell is a more manageable 7 ft from the west-southwest, with moderate energy (1446). That’s a lovely window for a solid session.

The start of the following week, Monday and Tuesday the 21st and 22nd, gets ugly again with howling onshore winds and building swell up to 12 ft. The combined energy is cranking (5220), but it’s blown-out.

Now, keep your eyes peeled for the long-range promise. Thursday the 24th and Friday the 25th look like the next true standout, but it’s a tricky one. Thursday morning shows a 15 ft SW groundswell with a 15-second period, and the wind goes cross-off from the south at 15 mph. The energy is enormous (8082). It’s clean, but the sheer size makes it strictly for experts only. By Friday the 25th, the model is showing a massive 20 ft SW swell with an 18-second period, and the combined energy is off the charts (24562) – that’s a major event. It’s clean, cross-off wind, but the forecast notes that the swell is too big for this break, even for the hardcore crew. If you’re watching from the cliff, it’ll be a show. For paddling, it’s a no.

Following that, Saturday the 26th settles a bit to an 12 ft SW swell, clean with lighter winds. That’s a proper window for the serious surfer again. The run to the end of the month (29th and 30th) holds consistent 10 ft to 12 ft SW swell with cross-off winds, providing good, clean conditions for experts.

In short: For the best on offer, Tuesday morning September 15th is your peak – big, clean, and powerful. The second standout is Wednesday afternoon September 16th – smaller but absolutely glassy. The late month window (24th to 26th) is massive and clean, but you need to respect the size. Pick your battles.

Rusty.

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.
