Righto, let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Conto Springs. We’ve got a real mixed bag comin’ up over the next couple of weeks, with some serious size on the cards, but plenty of wind to mess with it too.
The water’s sittin’ at 67° and that’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might get away with a thinner wettie.
Sunday 12th July kicks things off with a solid 10ft to 13ft SW swell pushing in. The morning’s a bit cross and cloudy, but the afternoon surfs up to 13ft with a long 18-second period from the SW – that’s proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy is strong at 9126. The wind’s cross, so it’ll be a bit lumpy, but there’s plenty of power. Monday 13th keeps it going with 12ft SW swell, still on the cross breeze, but the period drops a touch. The energy’s still strong (7053 and 5497).
Now, Tuesday 14th sees the swell drop to 10ft, but the wind goes light and variable – glassy conditions in the morning with a NE 3 mph cross breeze. The combined energy is moderate (3797), but with that light wind, the waves will be clean. Wednesday 15th and Thursday 16th turn ugly – strong N to NNW winds at 22-25 mph, choppy and lumpy, with 10-12ft swell. Friday 17th is no better, onshore winds and rain showers. Not worth paddling out.
Saturday 18th July is a standout, but only for the real experienced crew. We’re lookin’ at a massive 20ft SW swell in the morning, with a very long 17-second period. The combined energy is off the charts at 20451. The wind is cross-on and strong, but the forecast says the swell is predicted to be too big for this break. This is expert-only territory, and even then, it’s gonna be a wild, dangerous one. The afternoon’s still solid at 18ft with 31577 energy.
Sunday 19th July calms down a bit with 13ft to 12ft SW swell, and the wind goes light and cross again, making it cleaner. The energy is strong (7186). Monday 20th drops right off to 7ft and the wind picks up, so it’s back to poor conditions.
Tuesday 21st July is a hidden gem. The swell is a modest 5ft from the SW, but the wind is light and cross-off from the south at 6 mph. The waves will be clean, with good shape. The combined energy is 1084 (moderate). This is a great morning for an intermediate surfer, with no crowds likely. Wednesday 22nd has similar conditions but windier, and the swell is small.
Thursday 23rd July brings another big pulse – 16ft SW swell with a 17-second period, and the wind is cross-off and clean. The combined energy is huge at 13916. This is a serious swell, over 8ft, so it’s expert-only again. The clean wind makes it less of a mess, but the size is the main factor. Friday 24th has 13ft SW swell, still clean in the morning, but the energy is still strong (7146).
After that, it’s all downhill from Saturday 25th through to the end of the period – strong winds, rain, and messy conditions. The swell is still there, but the wind ruins it.
Best of the lot: The standout is Saturday 18th July – but that’s for the hardcore chargers only. For the average surfer, Tuesday 21st July morning is the pick of the litter: clean, light winds, and a manageable 5ft SW swell. The water’s a touch warmer than average, and the break is very consistent, so you’ll get waves. Keep an eye on it, but don’t expect any crowds.

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.
