About Conto springs

Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.

The spot faces W (275°), so it takes swell from the W. The wind blows offshore from the E (95°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits expert surfers. It works in 4–20 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 700 m out (1 in 68). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 18°C in September, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 22°C in March, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Forest Grove, 7.7 km away (about 15 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 2 surf spots.

Water about 19°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.

The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
