Table - best surf conditions forecast for Conto Springs over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s heading our way.
We’ve got a solid run of swell on the horizon, but the opening days are a bit messy with that wind. The real magic starts to build from Friday onwards, and there’s a standout window that looks absolutely prime.
Right now, Wednesday the 8th is a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a 12 ft SW groundswell rolling in with a very long 16-second period, but the wind is light and cross. The wave energy is strong (5943), but the conditions are marginal. That big, long-period swell is going to be breaking straight and fat at a beach setup, so it’s not the best shape for paddling into. Thursday the 9th stays average with a drop in energy and a cross-onshore breeze.
The first real change comes Friday the 10th. The swell drops to a clean 7 ft from the SW, period at 13 seconds, and we get a light cross-offshore breeze. The wave energy is moderate (1821), and the conditions are clean. This is where the surf starts to turn on for experienced surfers. Saturday the 11th holds that quality with a 8 ft to 8 ft SW swell and light, clean winds.
The standout is Sunday the 12th. This is the one to circle. We’re looking at a 10 ft SW groundswell with a very long 15-second period in the morning, and it jumps to a 10 ft SW swell with an exceptional 18-second period by the afternoon. The combined energy is very strong (6614 in the PM). The wind is light and cross-off, keeping it clean. This is expert-level, heavy, lined-up swell. The break is a very consistent reef, so those long-period pulses will hold beautifully. The water temp is about average for the time of year. Crowds are sometimes a thing here, so expect company.
Monday the 13th continues the quality with an 12 ft SW swell and 16-second period, still clean and cross-off. Tuesday the 14th sees the wind shift, making it a bit wonky again. Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th get blown out by strong onshore winds, making it a mess. Friday the 17th is a bit of a gamble with a big 13 ft W swell but cross-shore winds.
The second week from Saturday the 18th looks rough with a massive 18 ft WSW swell (13109 energy) but howling onshore winds. Not for the faint-hearted. Sunday the 19th stays windy but cross-off, so it’s clean but big and powerful. The tail end of the window, from Monday the 21st to Wednesday the 23rd of July, shows a drop in size to a more manageable 7 ft to 8 ft SW swell with clean, offshore winds. That’s a promising long-range call, but it’s a ways out.
So, if you’re an experienced surfer, you’re looking at Friday the 10th through Monday the 13th. The absolute best of the bunch is Sunday the 12th afternoon. That’s the one.
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.
