The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get stuck into what’s on the cards for Conto Springs.
We’ve got a solid 16-day forecast ahead, but if you’re looking to paddle out, you’ll need to wait a few days. The action doesn’t really kick off in a meaningful way until Monday the 28th, so there’s a bit of a lull before things get good. The first few days are a bit of a write-off, with messy, cross-off conditions and surf that’s just not worth the effort.
The standout window is the weekend of the 1st and 2nd of August. That’s where the real magic is brewing. But let’s walk through it all.
Starting Monday the 27th, it’s a no-go. We’ve got a 12ft SW swell with a 12-second period, but the wind is a cross-off from the SE at 12 mph, and the wave energy is weak for the size (3517). The water is a touch warmer than normal at 67°, but it’s just not clean or well-shaped enough to get excited about.
Tuesday the 28th is where things start to clean up. The swell drops a touch to 10ft from the SW, but the period stretches to 14 seconds, and the seabreeze is light offshore from the SE at 6 mph in the morning. The water is still about average for the time of year. The wave energy is moderate (3793), and the conditions are clean. This is a solid session for the crew that can handle the size. The afternoon stays clean with a cross-off breeze.
Wednesday the 29th sees the swell back off to 8ft, with a very long 17-second period, but the wind swings cross-shore from the NNE. That’s a bit of a shame, because that long period groundswell would be a treat at this reef. The wave energy is still moderate (3997), but the wind is just okay, not glassy.
Thursday the 30th is a drop-off. The swell is down to 6ft, period is 15 seconds, but the wind is onshore from the north. The wave energy is weak (2036), and it’s choppy. Not worth a paddle.
Friday the 31st is a blowout. The swell jumps to 13ft, but with a howling onshore NW wind at 19 mph, it’s a complete mess. Wave energy is moderate (8371), but it’s for kite surfers, not paddle surfers.
Now, the real deal. Saturday the 1st of August. This is the one. The swell is a solid 16ft from the SW with a 15-second period, and the wind is offshore from the SSE at 12 mph in the afternoon. The wave energy is strong (11919 in the morning, 10827 in the afternoon). This is heavy, expert-only territory. The water is still about average for the time of year. If you’re an experienced surfer, this is the best session of the forecast. The crowd factor is a bit of a worry here – it’s a popular spot, so expect some company.
Sunday the 2nd of August is still excellent. The swell drops back to 12ft, period is 14 seconds, and the wind goes glassy in the afternoon from the SSE at 3 mph. The wave energy is moderate (5757). The morning has a bit of cross-chop, but the afternoon is pure glass. This is a world-class session for the crew that can handle it.
The following week (3rd to 6th of August) sees moderate to clean conditions, with the swell ranging from 8ft to 12ft, mostly with offshore or light winds. The standout here is Tuesday the 4th of August morning: 12ft SW swell with a very long 18-second period, light wind, and strong wave energy (7236). That’s another one for the experts.
The 5th and 6th are a write-off again with strong onshore winds, and the swell gets messy. The 7th and 8th are even worse, with near gale-force winds and huge, onshore swell. By the 9th and 10th, we’re back to decent, clean cross-off winds with 10ft to 12ft swell, but it’s nothing special.
The final highlight is on Tuesday the 11th of August. The swell is predicted to be 18ft from the SW with a 17-second period, and the wind is off from the SSE at 16 mph. The wave energy is extreme (17251). This is a big, powerful, expert-only swell. The afternoon is equally impressive with 16ft and clean offshore winds. This is a true standout, but it’s a long way off, so keep an eye on the forecasts.
So, the best of the lot is the weekend of the 1st and 2nd of August, with that glassy Sunday afternoon being the absolute cream. The Tuesday the 11th is a huge, distant possibility, but it’s a long way out.
Rusty out.

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.
