The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, this time in feet. Let's break it down.
We've got a good run coming at Conto Springs, but you need to be smart about when you paddle out. It's a reef break that takes a WSW swell, and it almost always has waves. The water is sitting at about 64°, which is a touch warmer than usual for the season.
The big one to lock in is Monday the 14th. The wind swings offshore from the SE, cleaning up a solid 12ft SW groundswell. This is not for beginners – that's a heavy, powerful wave with moderate energy (5349). The offshore breeze will have it looking like a dream. The glassy conditions on Tuesday the 15th are also a huge plus, with a 10ft SW swell and only a 3 mph breeze. It's a bit smaller but will be absolutely perfect.
For the serious crew, circle Monday the 21st of September. We're talking a 13ft SW swell with a very long period of 16 seconds and clean offshore wind. The combined swell energy is a strong 6723. This is exceptional, but it's for experts only. The following morning, Tuesday the 22nd, holds similar promise with an 12ft SW swell and offshore wind.
Don't even think about Sunday the 13th. It's a mess with strong onshore winds and choppy 10ft to 12ft surf. Wednesday the 16th sees a drop in size, but the glassy conditions on the afternoon make it a good session for the experienced. There's a big gap of poor conditions from Thursday the 17th through to Saturday the 19th, with onshore winds and rain ruining it.
Looking further out, Wednesday the 23rd of September is a serious standout. We've got a 13ft SW swell with a very long period of 17 seconds and light cross-shore wind. The combined energy is a massive 9686. It'll be a beast of a day, but again, it's for experts only. After that, it gets messy again with strong onshore winds and rain.
So, the first week has some incredible days for the experienced surfer, especially the 14th, 15th, and the 21st and 22nd. The second week is less certain, but the 23rd is a huge potential day if the wind plays nice.
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.
