Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down this forecast for Conto Springs. We're looking at a solid run of waves, with a couple of absolute belters and a definite lull to be aware of further out.
The forecast kicks off with a mix of solid overhead swell and good conditions. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at about 67°F, with the anomaly reading 2°F, so it’s noticeably pleasant.
For the next week or so, there’s plenty of swell, but the standout window is shaping up for Sunday, July 12th. Tuesday the 7th gets things going with a clean 12ft SW groundswell on the morning, with 16-second periods and a light offshore ESE breeze. The combined swell energy is already strong at 6523. That's for the experts, as the size is up there.
Wednesday the 8th is a bit of a write-off – the wind swings onshore in the morning and cross-shore in the arvo, making things messy despite the size.
From Thursday the 9th through Saturday the 11th, we’re seeing smaller but cleaner sets. The swell drops to 7ft to 8ft, with periods still in the 12-14 second range. Winds are mostly cross-offshore or glassy – Saturday morning on the 11th is *glassy* with an 8ft SW swell and a 14-second period. Clean, lined-up waves for experienced surfers.
Now, for the standout: Sunday, July 12th. This is the one to circle. The afternoon session is looking insane. A 15ft SW groundswell with a very long 18-second period and a gentle offshore SSE breeze. The combined swell energy is pumping at 11758. The swell direction matches the optimum (WSW) perfectly. This is exceptional surf for experts, but it is a big, powerful swell, so if you’re not comfortable with serious size, maybe sit this one out. It’s a spot that can take it, but that period is so long it might make the wave a bit too straight for the beach, but perfect for a reef like this. Crowds are possible, and with a window like this, expect some company.
Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th keep the quality high with 10ft to 12ft SW swell and offshore or glassy conditions. Tuesday the 14th has a flat calm glass-off in the afternoon.
Then there’s a gap. From Wednesday, July 15th right through to Sunday, July 20th, the wind turns ugly. A strong northerly flow cranks up, bringing onshore and cross-onshore conditions. The swell stays big, topping out at 16ft on Friday the 17th, but it’s lumpy, choppy, and blown out. This stretch will be a write-off for quality surf – the wind just kills it. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for a few days there.
Things start to clean up again by Monday, July 20th, with a moderate offshore SE breeze and an 8ft SW swell, and then by the afternoon a gentle offshore ESE breeze cleans up a 10ft SW swell. That window looks promising.
The last couple of days (21st and 22nd of July) see the swell dropping away significantly, down to 4ft to 6ft, with periods still decent but with onshore and cross-onshore winds. Just small and average conditions to finish the run.
So the clear standout is the Sunday afternoon session on the 12th. That’s the one to call in sick for.
Rusty.
