The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, looking at what’s cooking for Conto Springs over the next couple of weeks. Buckle up, ’cause it’s gonna be a wild ride.
We’ve got a solid run of size and power coming through, but the wind is going to be the real decision-maker. The water is sitting at a very warm 67°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like we’re in the tropics!
The first real chance to get wet doesn’t show up until Wednesday the 26th. The swell is absolutely pumping, hitting 16ft from the WSW, but here’s the thing – that’s way too much juice for this reef. The combined energy is a massive 15519 (strong to very strong), and even though the wind is a cross-offshore light breeze, this is strictly for experts only. That size at Conto Springs is a whole different beast.
The real standout, the one you’ve been waiting for, is Saturday the 29th. The morning session looks clean with a 8ft SW swell, a long 16-second period, and just a slight air. The energy is still chunky at 3693 (moderate). But the afternoon is the pick. We’re looking at a 10ft SW swell with a 17-second period, combined energy of 6965 (strong), and clean, glassy conditions under a gentle sea breeze. This is exceptional, world-class stuff for the experienced crew.
Friday the 28th is also a solid shout, with offshore winds cleaning up a 8ft SW swell. It’s a bit smaller, but the offshore breeze will have the lines looking perfect for a long paddle.
After that, the wind turns against us. From Sunday the 30th right through the first week of September, it’s mostly cross-on or onshore breezes, making a mess of the powerful 10-13ft swells. The setup will be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing during that stretch.
There’s a flicker of hope on Sunday the 6th of September. A solid 10-12ft SW groundswell with a clean cross-off breeze and moderate energy (4248 to 4797) could offer some late-afternoon redemption. It’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it.
Signing off, 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.
