The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, looking at the surf for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got one main spot on the radar, and it’s got some serious potential, but you’ve gotta time it right.
We’re starting with a bit of a dud. The first couple of days are a write-off with strong onshore winds and messy conditions. From Monday the 3rd through Tuesday the 4th, it’s all poor surf, so don’t even bother. Then things start to get interesting.
The real standout is Wednesday morning, August 5th. This is the one you circle on the calendar. Conto Springs is looking at a solid 16 ft SW groundswell with a very long 16-second period. The combined energy is massive at 11185, but the wind is the real story – light offshore from the SSE at 6 mph. For a reef break, that's about as clean as it gets. This is big, powerful, and perfect for experts only. The afternoon goes glassy with zero wind, still a massive 15 ft SW swell. It’s going to be an unforgettable day if you’ve got the skills.
After that, the swell stays huge but the wind turns ugly again. Thursday through to Tuesday the 11th, we’re dealing with big, messy, blown-out surf. A couple of mornings (Saturday the 8th and Monday the 10th) have clean offshore winds, but the swell is 20 ft to 26 ft – those are sizes that are just too big for this break, even for experts. The energy readings are off the charts, hitting 39734 on Tuesday the 11th morning, but it’s a safety issue, not a surfable one.
Keep your eyes on Wednesday morning, August 12th. After the big stuff settles, we get a clean 16 ft SW groundswell with glassy conditions and zero wind. The energy is still strong at 13210, and the conditions are described as exceptional for experts. This is another gem.
The following week settles down a bit. Friday the 14th looks promising with a moderate 12 ft to 13 ft SW swell and clean offshore winds from the ESE and SE. Then Sunday the 16th afternoon is a real treat – glassy conditions with a clean 13 ft SW swell. A solid finisher for the period.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a waiting game for the big Wednesday the 5th. The second week has a couple of excellent windows on the 12th and the 16th. It’s a classic case of patience paying off for those who know what they’re doing.
Stay frothy,
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.
