The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Conto Springs over the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a solid run of swell on the horizon, but it’s not all smooth sailing. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, so you might not need the thickest rubber.
The story starts off a bit grim. Saturday morning the 25th is a write-off with a messy 6 ft SW swell and a choppy onshore wind. The energy is strong at 1201, but the quality just isn’t there. Sunday the 26th is a different beast entirely, but for all the wrong reasons for a paddle surfer. We’re looking at a huge 16 ft to 20 ft SW groundswell with a period around 12-14 seconds. The wave energy is insane (7656 to 25993), and while the wind and tide might be favorable, that’s just too much water for even the most experienced crew. At best, this might be a kite surfer’s playground.
Things start to settle down on Monday the 27th. The morning sees an 12 ft SW swell (3423 energy) with clean conditions and a cross-off breeze. It’s not perfect, but it’s the start of something. The standout, and the best on offer for the first week, is Monday afternoon (27th July). The swell drops to 10 ft from the SW, but the period is a quality 14 seconds and the wind goes offshore from the SE with a gentle breeze. The energy is still a hefty 3510, and the report is calling it excellent for experienced surfers. This is the one to circle. Expect some crowds as it’s a well-known spot.
Tuesday the 28th keeps the clean lines going. The morning is a bit mixed with a light cross-shore on a 10 ft SW swell, but the afternoon cleans right up with a gentle offshore breeze and an 8 ft SW swell. Good, but not quite as good as Monday’s call.
We hit a lull in quality from Wednesday morning the 29th right through to Thursday afternoon the 30th. The swell stays in the 6 ft to 8 ft range, but with a persistent cross-onshore wind that keeps things a bit bumpy. The energy is still moderate but the magic is gone. Friday the 31st sees a return of big energy with a 10 ft to 13 ft SW groundswell. The afternoon, however, gets a decent call for marginal surf with a clean cross-off wind, despite the 19 mph breeze. The weekend of August 1st-2nd offers moderate offshore winds and dropping swell, but it’s nothing to write home about.
After that we get a big gap of poor conditions. From Monday morning the 3rd through to Tuesday the 5th it’s mostly messy onshore winds and raw, lumpy surf. Wednesday the 6th is another huge day with 18 ft SW swell and gale-force winds. Kite surfers will be eyeing this off.
The second week of the outlook has one real standout, but it’s a long way off. Saturday afternoon the 8th of August is looking promising. An 18 ft SW groundswell (20671 energy) with a very long 18-second period and glassy conditions from a light NW breeze. That is a recipe for perfection at a reef break like Conto, but this is 14 days out, so take it with a grain of salt; it’s a potential dream session, but not locked in. Sunday the 9th keeps the big swell going at 15 ft, but the wind swings cross-onshore.
So for the here and now, your best bet is the clean, offshore winds on Monday afternoon the 27th. The long-range glassy potential on the 8th of August is the dream to keep an eye on.
Rusty.
