The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a proper look at what Conto Springs has got cookin' for us over the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a wild ride, so strap in.

Alright, right off the bat, we've got a big, messy weekend. Sunday the 26th is a write-off for a proper surf. The swell is a thumping 16ft to 18ft from the SW, with a massive amount of power behind it. The wind is howling cross-shore at 25 mph, turning it into a frothy, lumpy mess. The water temp is sitting at 67°, which is a touch warmer than what we'd usually expect for this time of year, but you won't be feeling it through the onshore spray.

Monday the 27th sees the swell drop to a much more manageable 10ft to 12ft, still from the SW. The wind swings to a cross-off, cleaning things right up. It's a solid, well-shaped wave for an intermediate, but the conditions are still a bit marginal overall. Tuesday the 28th is where we get our first real standout. The morning has a light breeze from the E, going glassy offshore by the afternoon with wind from the SSE. The swell holds at a clean 10ft from the SW with a proper 14-second period. This is your call for a great session for experienced surfers, though expect the occasional crowd given the consistency and quality on offer.

Wednesday the 29th is a step down in size to 8ft, but the wind goes a bit rubbery, turning cross-shore and then cross-on through the day. The swell period is still nice and long at 14 to 16 seconds, but the wind is messing with the surface.

From Thursday the 30th through to Friday the 7th of August, it's a grim stretch. We've got a week of onshore and cross-onshore winds, mostly from the NW, with gusts hitting 22 to 28 mph. The swell sticks around but the quality is just not there. It's choppy, lumpy and messy. A surfer's patience will be tested. There are a few moments where the swell is 10ft to 13ft and the wind is cross-off (like Saturday the 1st and Sunday the 2nd of August), but the power is still high and the period is long, making it a tricky beast at the best of times.

Now, here's the real kicker. We've got a massive pulse of swell arriving for the second weekend, starting Saturday the 8th of August. We're talking 18ft from the WSW, and it just keeps climbing. By Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th of August, the swell is hitting 23ft from the SW with a very long 18 to 19-second period. The combined energy is off the charts. The wind is forecast to be gentle offshore or light and variable. That is prime, world-class reef-break potential.

But – and this is a big but – the forecast calls this "too big for this break." At 23ft, this is a big-wave spot for absolute experts only. The sheer size and power from that long-period groundswell will be phenomenal, but it will be unruly and dangerous for anyone without serious experience. For the rest of us, this is one to watch from the cliffs. That Monday the 10th of August with 21ft to 23ft and nearly no wind? That is the standout window for the whole forecast, a promise of something truly special, but you best know what you're doing.

So, to wrap it up: the next couple of days are a write-off. Aim for Tuesday the 28th for a clean, powerful session. Then expect a rough week before a colossal, expert-only pulse arrives Saturday the 8th through Monday the 10th of August. That weekend is the real deal, but it's for the brave.

Rusty.

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.
