The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's get into it.
First up, we're looking at Conto Springs. Water temp is sitting at a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, at 67°F.
Thursday morning kicks off with a 8ft SW swell, but it's coming in with a northerly cross-breeze that's got a bit of chop on it. Not the cleanest, but the afternoon is where it's at – the wind drops to nothing, glassy conditions, and the swell holds at 8ft from the SW with a 14-second period. That's a real sweet spot for an intermediate surfer, clean faces and proper energy. The combined energy is strong (1945).
Friday is a write-off. Northerly winds and messy conditions with a 5ft SW swell. The weekend is no better – Saturday is all cross-onshore and choppy, with a 6ft SW swell. Don't bother.
Now, Sunday the 26th is where it gets serious. The swell jumps up to 15ft in the morning, then 18ft in the afternoon from the SW, with a 14-second period. The combined energy is massive (11376 in the arvo). Wind is cross-off and clean. This is expert territory – over 8ft, so it's for the crew who know what they're doing. The setup is a reef, so those long-period swells will wrap in nicely.
Monday the 27th is still pumping, but down a notch. 12ft SW swell in the morning, 10ft in the afternoon, with a 13-second period. Wind is offshore and light, making for clean, lined-up waves. Combined energy is still strong (3341). Good for the experienced surfer.
Tuesday the 28th is a step down in quality. The swell is 8ft from the SW, but the wind is cross-shore and then cross-onshore, so it's choppy again.
Wednesday the 29th is a no-go – strong N/NE winds, lumpy, and a 7ft SW swell. The period is a very long 17 seconds, but it's blowing a gale, so forget it.
Thursday the 30th is a sneaky good one. Morning is glassy with a 5ft SW swell and a 16-second period. The afternoon gets a 7ft SW swell with an 18-second period and light cross-off wind. Clean, long-period groundswell. The reef will handle this beautifully.
Now, here's the standout. Friday the 31st of July. Both morning and afternoon are exceptional. 13ft SW swell, 18-second period in the morning, 17 seconds in the arvo. Combined energy is massive (8857). Light cross-off wind. This is the one to circle on the calendar. Expert surfers only, huge swell, but it'll be perfect.
Saturday the 1st of August is still big – 12ft to 15ft SW swell, 15-second period, clean cross-off wind. Combined energy is through the roof (12776 in the afternoon). Again, expert territory.
Sunday the 2nd of August offers offshore winds and a 13ft SW swell in the morning. Clean, powerful. The afternoon gets a bit windy with a fresh offshore, but still surfable.
The first week of August sees the swell slowly dropping, but still in the 10ft to 13ft range with a SW direction and 15-second period. Winds are mostly cross-off or cross, so it's not perfect, but there's plenty of juice. The quality drops off from Wednesday the 5th – strong N/NE winds kick in, blowing out the 13ft swell. By Thursday the 6th, it's a near gale and completely blown out. Friday the 7th is the same story – gale force winds and huge, messy swell.
The best on offer is without a doubt Friday the 31st of July. Huge, clean, long-period SW groundswell with light winds. A true expert's day. The second standout is Sunday the 26th of July – massive swell, clean, but a touch windier. Both are for the experienced crew only.
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.

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.
