The Lowdown

Alright, let's get into it. This is all about Conto Springs.

We’re looking at a proper run of groundswell from the southwest. There’s a lot of energy in the water, especially in the first week. You’ll need to be on your game. The combined swell energy kicks off at a solid 1476, building to huge numbers like 5344 and 6631 by the weekend. This is serious wave energy.

Friday morning, August 28th, is your first chance. Swell is 7ft from the SW with a 12-second period, and we've got a clean offshore breeze from the southeast at 16 mph. It’s clean, it’s solid intermediate ground. The water temp is about average for this time of year. But honestly, the best session of the whole forecast might be Saturday morning, the 29th. The swell jumps to 8ft, period stretches to 19 seconds – that’s very long period groundswell – and the combined energy is 5344. Wind is a light cross-offshore. This is a standout. It’s going to be powerful, long walls at this reef. Just keep in mind, long period like that can make a reef break like this really throw, so it's for the confident surfer.

Sunday the 30th gets bigger – 12ft in the morning with 17-second period and 6631 energy – but the wind turns light cross-onshore. That’s a shame because it’s a big, powerful swell, but it won’t be as clean. Monday and Tuesday the 31st and September 1st are a write-off with strong onshore winds and rain.

Then we get a second window. Friday September 4th looks good again. 12ft swell in the morning, period 13 seconds, but the wind is a light cross-offshore from the SSW at 9 mph. It cleans up nicely. By Saturday afternoon the 5th, we’ve got 7ft with a clean cross-offshore breeze. Sunday the 6th is the next real standout: the morning is glassy – no wind at all – with a clean 8ft swell from the SW. That’s the sort of morning you wake up early for. Perfect conditions.

After that, things get messy again with onshore winds, and then we hit a massive swell pulse around the 9th and 10th of September. We’re talking 23ft swell with 16-second periods and energy readings over 24,000. That’s way too big for this break. Even for experts, it’s a no-go. The forecast even says the swell is predicted to be too big for this break. That’s a hard pass.

So, bottom line: Your best bets are Saturday morning August 29th for that huge, long-period groundswell and clean conditions, and Sunday morning September 6th for glassy, 8ft perfection. Get on it.

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.
