Conchalio Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a solid run of clean, manageable surf shaping up for Conchalio. The water temp anomaly's about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual to worry about there. The next couple of weeks are looking promising, with a few standout mornings where everything lines up.

We start off Monday the 17th with a morning session that’s actually worth getting up for. Swell’s pushing in from the SW at a consistent 3 ft, with a nice long 14-second period – that’s proper groundswell energy, giving the waves some real push and shape. The wind’s light cross-off from the north at 3 mph, keeping the surface clean. Combined energy is solid at 416 (moderate wave energy). It’s not huge, but the quality’s there. Afternoon turns onshore and messy, so make it a dawn patrol.

Tuesday the 18th is where it gets tasty. Morning glass-off conditions, wind dead calm, and the swell holds at 4 ft from the SW with that same 14-second period. Energy bumps up to 521. That’s clean, lined-up surf with barely a ripple on it. Light crowds possible here, but with conditions like that, it’ll be worth sharing a few waves. Afternoon goes onshore again, no good.

Wednesday the 19th keeps the run going. Morning glassy again, wind light from the north at 3 mph, swell dropping slightly to 3 ft but from the SSW with a 15-second period – that long period groundswell will wrap in nicely. Energy’s 427. Fun, clean little waves for a long session. Afternoon onshore again.

Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st are smaller. Thursday morning clean with 2 ft SW swell, 14-second period, glassy conditions. Friday morning glassy but the swell drops to 3 ft from the south with a short 8-second period – less exciting, energy down to 149. Still surfable but nothing to write home about.

Saturday the 22nd morning brings a bit more life. Swell back to 3 ft from the south, 11-second period, cross-off breeze from the east at 3 mph. Energy jumps back up to 461. Decent, clean waves again.

Sunday the 23rd morning is a real highlight. Clear skies, light cross-off from the ESE, swell 3 ft from the SSW with a 14-second period, and energy cranks up to 538. Very clean, high-quality surf for the size.

Monday the 24th through Wednesday the 26th mornings stay clean but the swell drops a bit – around 2 ft to 2 ft, with periods from 15 to 18 seconds. Glassy or light offshore winds. The long periods mean the waves have good shape at this point break setup. Energy’s moderate. Good for a longboard or a fun morning cruise.

Thursday the 27th morning is small – 1 ft from the SSW, 18-second period, clean cross-off. Energy at 265. Not much push but glassy.

Friday the 28th morning sees a jump to 3 ft SW swell, 16-second period, but the wind’s onshore from the WSW. Conditions are a bit dicey, so this one’s a maybe.

Now, the standout. Saturday the 29th morning is the one to circle. Swell jumps to 4 ft from the SSW, 16-second period – that’s serious groundswell. Conditions glassy with just a slight air, and combined energy rockets to 1013 (strong wave energy). This is excellent for experienced surfers – still clean, powerful, and running nicely. Afternoon goes onshore, but that morning session is the pick of the entire forecast.

Sunday the 30th morning holds similar size at 5 ft from the SSW, 16-second period, glassy with light ESE wind. Energy at 933. Another excellent morning for those who can handle it. Monday the 31st and Tuesday the 1st of September mornings stay clean with 4 ft and 4 ft SSW swells, 14-second period, glassy conditions. Solid end to the window.

Overall, the best on offer are the mornings of Tuesday the 18th and Saturday the 29th – clean, glassy, good groundswell energy, and well-shaped waves at Conchalio.

Rusty.
