The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s on the cards for Conto Springs. It’s going to be a wild ride, with a lot of raw power, but you’ve got to pick your moments carefully.
The water is sitting at 68°, which is a massive 5° warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s a pretty rare treat, but don’t get too comfortable because the swell is about to go absolutely mental.
We start off on Friday the 7th with a solid 13ft SW groundswell, but the wind is howling from the west at 15 mph, putting a nasty cross-onshore chop on it. The energy is huge (7151), but it’s a write-off for surfing – just messy and poor.
Saturday the 8th is when things get properly out of hand. We’re looking at a massive 21ft to 23ft SW groundswell with an insane combined energy reading of 24,769. This is pure, raw power. The wind is strong, but the Saturday afternoon session shows a clean cross-off breeze. However, with a 23ft swell, this is strictly for the hardcore chargers. If you’re a beginner, stay well clear.
Sunday the 9th drops a touch to a 16ft SW groundswell in the morning, but the wind swings cross-shore and it gets choppy again. The afternoon turns into a poor onshore mess.
Monday the 10th through to the middle of the week is a write-off. The swell stays big, but the wind is relentless and from the wrong directions. It’s all strong cross-shore or onshore, making for impossible conditions. Honestly, for a few days there, this looks more like a kiteboarding zone than a surf spot.
We get a brief window on Tuesday the 11th morning. A clean 23ft SW groundswell with a cross-off breeze. The period is a massive 17 seconds, which is a very long period groundswell. That means the waves will have incredible shape and energy, but the sets will be spaced out. Again, this is a heavy, expert-only wave.
The standout session, the one you’ve been waiting for, is on Friday the 21st of August. The swell drops to a manageable 15ft from the SW, with a long 16-second period. But the key here is the wind – a clean, moderate offshore breeze from the ESE. The combined energy is still a strong 9290, but the conditions will be absolutely glassy and clean. The forecast is calling this exceptional for experts, and I’d have to agree. This is the one to circle on the calendar.
Saturday the 22nd of August keeps the goodness going with a 13ft SW swell and light, clean cross-off winds. The energy is even higher at 12,973, making for another day of solid, clean waves for those who know what they’re doing.
So, the best of the best is Friday the 21st and Saturday the 22nd. Get ready, because the ocean is going to be a powerful beast, but if you’re skilled enough, there are some incredible waves waiting.
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.
