The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s get stuck into this one. We’ve got a solid run of swell on the way for Conto Springs, but it’s not all smooth sailing. There’s a bit of a rough patch in the middle, so we need to pick our windows carefully.

The pattern kicks off with a big, powerful SW groundswell that’s already on the way. The combined energy is massive, hitting 7225 on Wednesday morning the 12th, and it just builds from there. The swell is a solid 13 feet from the SW, with a very long period of 15 seconds. This is proper groundswell, and for a reef setup like Conto Springs, that’s a beautiful thing. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing unusual there.

Wednesday morning, the 12th, is a bit of a mixed bag. The swell is pumping at 13 feet from the SW, but we’ve got a cross-onshore wind from the W at 9 mph making it a little choppy. It’s still surfable, especially for intermediates, but it’s not the cleanest. The afternoon doesn’t improve much with the wind swinging more cross-shore.

Thursday, the 13th, is the first real standout. The swell holds at 13 feet from the SW, but the period jumps to 17 seconds – that’s some serious push. The combined energy is a massive 9577 in the morning and 9888 in the afternoon. The wind is light offshore from the WNW in the morning at 6 mph, promising glassy conditions. This is a wave that will be holding up beautifully on the reef. Crowds are possible, but for a setup this good, it’s worth it. This is the best session of the first week.

Friday the 14th is still fun, but the wind starts to get a little messy in the afternoon. Swell drops slightly to 12 feet, still with good period. The morning is the better call with a light cross-onshore.

Then the weekend turns ugly. From Saturday the 15th through Monday the 17th, the wind picks up significantly. Saturday and Sunday are a write-off with strong, choppy cross-onshore winds, gusting up to 16 mph. The swell drops and gets messy. Monday the 17th sees a new pulse of energy, with a 15 feet swell from the WSW and a period of 17 seconds. The combined energy is a staggering 13271 in the morning. But the wind is a fresh 22 mph cross-shore, making it lumpy. This is a big, powerful, and ugly wave. It’s more for the kite crew than paddle surfers.

The middle of the week from Tuesday the 18th to Friday the 21st is a total blank. Strong winds, rain, and messy conditions. The swell is still pushing 18 feet on Wednesday the 19th, but with a 19 mph onshore wind, it’s a complete mess. A good time to stay on the beach.

The second standout arrives on Saturday, the 22nd. A new SW groundswell fills in, 15 feet at 18 seconds. The combined energy is a massive 13428 in the morning. The wind is a moderate cross-shore, so it’s not perfect, but the power is undeniable. It’s a big, expert-level wave.

The conditions finally clean up on Sunday, the 23rd, with an 12 feet SW swell and a light cross-offshore wind from the SSW. It’s a much more manageable size.

The absolute best of the whole forecast is Wednesday, the 26th. We get a 15 feet SW groundswell with a period of 13-14 seconds, and the wind is light offshore from the SE, dropping to 6 mph in the afternoon. The combined energy is 6700 in the morning and 7852 in the afternoon. The forecast calls for exceptional surf conditions for expert surfers. This is a reef dream, with clean, powerful lines. If you can wait, this is the one.

The run finishes on Thursday the 27th with a 13 feet SW swell, but the wind goes light and cross-shore, so it’s still a decent wave.

So, to sum it up: for the best on offer, hit Thursday the 13th for the first standout, and then absolutely mark your calendar for Wednesday, the 26th. That’s the one.

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.

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.
