The Lowdown
Alright, crew, Rusty here. Let’s break down Conto Springs.
The water’s a touch warmer than usual for this time of year at 68°F, so you might get away with a thinner suit.
The first few days are pretty grim. Friday and Saturday are a total loss with strong, messy cross-onshore winds and big, blown-out surf. Saturday morning is packing a massive 16ft swell with a 17-second period, but it’s just ugly. No point paddling out.
Sunday calms down a bit, but it’s still cross-shore and only marginal. The real window opens on Tuesday the 21st of July. The wind goes light cross-offshore from the south, and we get a clean 8ft of swell from the SW with a 14-second period. The energy is solid (2708) and it’s got excellent conditions for the experienced surfer. A proper session.
The highlight of the first week, no question, is Wednesday the 22nd of July. Glassy conditions in the morning with a near-calm breeze, and a solid 10ft groundswell from the SW at 14 seconds. The energy is pumping (3634) and it’s going to be clean as glass. This is the one to circle, but it’s big – experts only.
The surf stays in the 6-8ft range through the rest of the week with variable winds. Then we hit another beauty. Sunday the 26th of July is a cracker. The morning has zero wind, glassy conditions, with a 6ft swell from the SW but a very long 18-second period (2974 energy). The afternoon holds a clean 10ft swell from the SW again. That Sunday is the best day of the whole run.
Looking further ahead, Wednesday the 29th of July brings a massive 21-second period groundswell, but it’s a messy 12ft with cross-on winds. The afternoon of the 30th of July is a better bet for the experienced, with a clean 10ft and cross-off winds. Then Friday the 31st of July delivers another glassy morning with a 6ft, 18-second groundswell – a beautiful, clean option for the weekend.
The very end, on Saturday the 1st of August, shows a huge 13ft swell with a very long 18-second period, but it’s cross-on and only marginal. The energy is massive (over 10,000), but it’s a big-wave gamble, not a quality call.
Bottom line: the surf is there, but the wind is the problem early on. The standouts are the 22nd and the 26th of July for the best mix of size, period, and clean conditions.
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.

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.
