The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s shaping up for Conto Springs.
This is a solid run, but it’s got a real split personality. The first few days are a tease, then the ocean just turns on the tap. The water is sitting at a balmy 69°F, which is a good 4°F warmer than you’d expect for this time of year – a real treat if you’re not wearing a wetsuit.
Saturday, August 1st is the standout. The morning is already looking good with a solid 13ft SW swell, but that afternoon is the real magic. We’re talking a pumping 16ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period, stacking up with massive energy (10901). The wind is light and cross-off, so the face will be glassy. This is expert territory, no question – that size is serious. But if you’ve got the bottle, this is the session of the run.
The rest of the first week is a washout. Sunday the 2nd drops to 10ft, but the wind swings around and messes it up. Monday through Thursday are a write-off, with onshore winds making a mess of things. The swell is still there, but it’s a choppy, lumpy mess. Friday the 7th sees the swell kick back up to 18ft, with a fresh cross-off wind, so it’s clean again but still very big.
Saturday, August 8th is another massive one, but it’s a caveat. The forecast is calling for a monstrous 20ft to 23ft WSW swell. The wind is cross, not ideal, but the real issue is that the swell is predicted to be too big for the break. This is a reef setup, and that’s a lot of water moving. It’s one for the absolute elite, and even then, you’d be mad not to be cautious.
The second week is a bit of a mixed bag. The 10th and 11th of August look clean with cross-off winds and a dropping swell from 13ft to 8ft, a much more manageable size. The 13th looks promising again with a 15ft SW swell and light winds, but the direction is onshore. The 15th of August has an 12ft WSW swell with light winds, offering some clean but smaller options.
To be honest, if you’re not an expert, this whole window is a bit of a challenge. The biggest, cleanest swells are just too big. For the average punter, the best bet is the tail end of the first week and the start of the second, when the swell drops below the 10ft mark and the wind behaves.
Rusty.
