The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the next 16 days for Conto Springs. It’s a reef break, exposed and very consistent, so it’s always got potential. The water is running at 67° – that’s a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
The first real action is on Sunday the 19th, but it’s a bit of a mess. You’ve got a solid 10ft swell from the WSW, but the wind is onshore at 9 mph, making it choppy and marginal. The wave energy is pumping at 3659, but it’s not clean. The afternoon clears up, but it’s still rough.
Monday the 20th is a total write-off. Swell drops to 8ft, but the wind is howling cross-onshore at 12-16 mph, making it choppy and awful.
Tuesday the 21st is where it gets good. The wind swings southerly, becoming a clean cross-offshore breeze at 9 mph. The swell is a solid 8ft from the SW with a period of 13-14 seconds, and the energy is 2670. The morning is clean and excellent for experienced surfers. This is a standout session – glassy conditions and that groundswell will deliver proper waves. It can get crowded here, so expect some company.
Wednesday the 22nd is the absolute gem. The morning has a 12ft SW swell with a very long period of 16 seconds, and the energy is a massive 5937. Wind is light and cross-offshore from the east at 6 mph. The afternoon gets even better with a full offshore from the SE at 9 mph. This is exceptional for experts. That long period groundswell loves a reef like this – long, powerful lines. If you’re experienced, this is your day.
Thursday the 23rd is a step down. Swell drops to 8ft, and the wind is light and variable. It’s clean, but nothing special.
From Friday the 24th through to the end of the month, it’s a long stretch of mediocrity. The swell fades to 4ft to 6ft, and the wind is mostly cross-onshore, making it choppy. There’s a big spike of 13ft on the 30th, but the wind is a near gale, so it’s blown out and dangerous. That one’s for the kite surfers.
The second week opens with a massive 18ft plus swell on Friday the 31st. Energy is a staggering 15519, but the wind is strong cross-shore, creating lumpy chaos. It’s way too big for this break, expert-only. The following days into August see 13ft plus swells, but the wind is howling from the west, onshore and messy. Not worth it.
Bottom line: The standout is Wednesday the 22nd. Get there. The backup is Tuesday the 21st. Everything else is a miss or a challenge.
Rusty out.
