The Lowdown

Righto, let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pipe for Conto Springs. This is a proper reef set-up, very consistent, and it’s exposed to the big south-west groundswells. The water’s sitting at 67°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll notice that.

The next few days are a bit of a mixed bag. Sunday the 26th kicks off with a solid 16ft swell from the west-south-west, but the wind is howling out of the same direction at 28 mph, cross. That’s a big, messy, blown-out 16ft. Not for the faint-hearted. The combined energy is massive (6922), but it’s poor. Sunday afternoon cleans up a touch with an 18ft south-west swell, but the wind is still strong and cross. The energy is huge (12098), but it’s a battle.

Monday the 27th is a big step down. The swell drops to 12ft in the morning, then 10ft in the afternoon, still from the south-west. The wind swings south, cross-off, and it’s clean. The energy is still moderate (3368 and 3908). This is more like it, but still a fair size.

Now, Tuesday the 28th is looking like the first real standout. It’s a 10ft south-west swell with a 14-second period, and the wind is light and cross-off, turning to clear skies in the arvo. The energy is moderate (3778 and 3948), and the conditions are clean. This is a solid, tidy day for experienced surfers. The swell is a bit over the 8ft mark, so it’s expert territory, but the quality is there.

Wednesday the 29th is a drop-off through the middle of the week. The swell dips to 8ft, but the wind goes cross-on, making it a bit choppy. Not worth the paddle.

Thursday the 30th is a write-off. The swell is small at 5ft, but the wind is up and onshore. The energy is low (1982 and 2171). Poor.

Friday the 31st shows a bit of hope. The swell builds back to 8ft by the morning, then 12ft in the afternoon. The wind swings cross-off later in the day, and the energy jumps back up (6478). Clean conditions for the afternoon session.

Saturday the 1st of August is a beauty. The morning sees a 13ft south-west swell, cross-off wind, and moderate energy (6926). The afternoon is an 12ft swell with offshore wind. Clean, big, and powerful. That’s a serious day for the lads in the lineup.

Sunday the 2nd keeps the swell at 10ft, with light winds and cross-off conditions. The energy is still strong (5062 and 3978). Clean and consistent.

Monday the 3rd is interesting. The morning is a bit smaller at 7ft, but the afternoon sees a 10ft swell with a 17-second period. That’s a very long period groundswell, and the energy is strong (5758). The wind is light and cross-off, clean. This is a standout. The long period will make it hollow and powerful, perfect for a reef like this.

Tuesday the 4th is a wipeout. The wind goes onshore and strong, ruining an 12ft swell. The energy is still high (5720), but it’s messy.

Now, pay attention to Wednesday the 5th and Thursday the 6th. Wednesday arvo delivers a 16ft south-west swell, a 14-second period, light winds, and clean conditions. The energy is massive (9305). Thursday morning is even better – 15ft swell, 15-second period, and glassy conditions. The energy is huge (8602). Thursday arvo is 13ft, 16 seconds, with light cross-off winds and clean. These are the absolute standouts of the whole run. The swell is in the expert zone, but the quality is exceptional. The combined energy is massive, and the winds are perfect.

After that, it drops off again. Friday the 7th is a 10ft swell but with onshore winds, so it’s a no-go. Saturday the 8th sees a near gale blowing, with 34 mph winds. That’s pure mess. The energy is low (2101). The rest of the second week is a write-off with strong to gale-force winds and poor conditions.

So, the best on offer is the run from the 1st of August through to the 6th, with the absolute standouts being the 5th and 6th of August. Glassy, massive, and clean. Lock it in.

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.
