The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
We’ve got a solid run of surf coming up at Conto Springs, but it’s a real mixed bag. The water is sitting at 67°, which is a touch warmer than what’s normal for this time of year, so you might not need the thickest rubber.
The first real action kicks off Monday morning, July 27th, with a solid 12 ft SW groundswell. The period is a nice 12 seconds, and the combined energy is strong at 3517. The wind is a cross-offshore S breeze at 12 mph, which should keep things reasonably clean. It’s a bit of a dicey session though, with the forecast calling for marginal conditions. Still, there’s plenty of power.
Tuesday, July 28th, is the standout of the first week. Morning starts with a clean 10 ft SW swell at 14 seconds, ESE offshore wind at just 6 mph, and the energy is pumping at 3793. This is excellent for experienced surfers. The afternoon holds up just as well with a similar 10 ft swell and light SSE offshores, pushing the energy to 4207. This is your window.
From Wednesday the 29th through to Friday the 31st, conditions get messy. The wind turns onshore or cross-on, and the swell stays big but the quality drops. Friday is a washout with strong onshore winds and a stormy 13 ft swell. The energy is huge at 9365, but it’s a complete mess.
Then we get a bit of a reprieve. The weekend of August 1st-2nd offers some hope. Saturday afternoon sees a 15 ft SW swell with a cross-offshore S wind at 16 mph, and the energy is big at 8488, rated a 7. The wind is cleaner, but it’s still a big, powerful swell. Sunday sees an 12 ft SW swell but the wind is light and variable, keeping things marginal.
Now, the real standout arrives on Monday, August 3rd. The morning is a dream: glassy conditions with the wind at 0 mph, a 8 ft SW groundswell at 15 seconds, and a clean energy of 2682. This is listed as excellent for experienced surfers. The afternoon stays clean with a 8 ft SW swell and a light cross-offshore breeze.
After that, the second week gets wild. The swell really cranks up, but it’s mostly blown out. From August 4th to the 8th, we see a series of 12 ft to 16 ft SW and WSW swells, but the wind is howling onshore or cross-on, making it poor for paddling. The energy figures are massive (over 10,000), but it’s just not surfable.
The real beast shows up on Sunday, August 9th. The afternoon brings a 23 ft WSW swell with a 13-second period and a clean cross-offshore S wind. The energy is a staggering 16744. The forecast notes this might be too big for the break. For expert surfers only, and even then, it’s a serious commitment.
Monday, August 10th, is similar with a 23 ft WSW swell, but the wind turns cross-on, making it choppy, despite the massive energy of 20982. The rest of the week into August 11th is just a series of big, onshore, messy swells with no real quality.
So, to sum it up: your best bets are Tuesday, July 28th for the cleanest, most powerful session, and Monday, August 3rd for the glassy, perfect conditions. The second week is for the very brave only, and even then, it’s a gamble.
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.
