G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up over the next few weeks. It’s a good run of swell, but you’ve got to read the conditions to get the best out of it.

The first real action kicks off on Tuesday afternoon, the 7th of July. The water temperature is 67°, running a touch warmer than average for the time of year – a nice detail for your session.

The first standout is Conto Springs. We’re looking at a 10ft SW swell with a 16-second period – that’s a proper long-period groundswell. The wind is offshore from the SSE at 12 mph, so the surface will be clean and lined up. This is one for the experienced crew. The energy is strong, reading (4772). This reef break is very consistent, and the swell direction matches the spot’s optimum. Crowds are a 'sometimes' thing, so you might see a few others, but nothing wild. Best call for a Tuesday arvo.

Wednesday the 8th is a tale of two halves. The morning is a no-go with onshore NW wind, but the afternoon switches it right on. The swell holds at 12ft from the WSW with a 15-second period, and the wind drops to glassy at 3 mph. That’s the kind of clean, powerful, expert-level surf you dream about. Energy is (5347) – very strong. This is a top-tier window.

Thursday the 9th is a write-off with onshore and cross-shore winds. Friday the 10th and Saturday the 11th offer cleaner conditions with lighter winds, but the swell drops to 6ft to 8ft from the SW. Energy is moderate to strong (1700 to 2500). Good surf, but not as punchy as the earlier days.

Now, Sunday the 12th is a ripper. Morning brings a 10ft SW swell with a 15-second period and a light offshore ESE breeze at 6 mph – clean and solid. By the afternoon, the period stretches to 18 seconds, the swell drops to 7ft, but the energy jumps to (5511) – that’s a heap of power for that size. Offshore SE wind at 9 mph makes for a glassy, lined-up wave. This is a true standout for experts.

Monday the 13th keeps it going with 12ft SW swell in the morning, cross-offshore wind, and strong energy (5048). The afternoon stays clean with a gentle offshore. Both sessions are excellent for experienced surfers.

Then we hit a rough stretch. From Tuesday the 14th through Thursday the 16th, the wind turns cross-on or onshore, with strong NW and WNW winds. The swell stays big – 10ft to 15ft – but with those winds, it’s going to be messy and choppy. Best to stay out of the water. This beach-and-reef setup looks more suited to kite surfing than paddle surfing through that stretch.

Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th are still poor. The swell drops to 8ft by Saturday, but it’s lumpy.

From Sunday the 19th, things start to clean up. The swell is smaller – 5ft to 8ft – but the winds turn cross-offshore or offshore from Sunday into Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st. Energy is moderate (1229 to 3074). The conditions are clean, especially Monday afternoon with a gentle offshore ESE wind. A solid call for a session, even if the swell isn’t as powerful as the first week.

Wednesday the 22nd sees the swell drop to 7ft to 5ft, with cross-on and onshore winds – not the best, but still rideable for those who are keen.

The top picks are Tuesday afternoon the 7th, Wednesday afternoon the 8th, and Sunday afternoon the 12th. Circle those dates.

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.

Conto Springs is 106 km (66 miles) from the city of Bunbury. If you plan a holiday in Margaret River, look for hotels and other accommodation in Bunbury. Bunbury has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
