The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here, lookin' at the charts for the next couple of weeks. We've got a mixed bag at Conto Springs, a solid reef break that's gonna be all about pickin' your moment. The swell is gonna be pumpin', but the wind is gonna be the decidin' factor.
Right now, we're in a bit of a messy start. Sunday the 26th is a write-off, with a strong cross-onshore wind and a massive, lumpy 16ft to 18ft SW swell. That's just ugly, mate. The energy is through the roof (7552 to 11652), but it's all for nothin' with that wind. Monday the 27th is a bit better, with the swell droppin' to 12ft and a cleaner cross-off wind, but it's still a bit marginal. You'd be out there for the exercise, not the glory.
The real standout window opens up on Tuesday the 28th of July. That's the one to circle. We've got a solid 10ft SW groundswell (period 14 seconds) with light easterly to SSE winds, goin' cross-off and offshore. The conditions are clean, and the energy is moderate (3778 to 3948). This is goin' to be a proper session for experienced surfers. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so you'll be fine in a spring suit. With the crowds bein' "sometimes" here, you might score a few waves to yourself if you're early.
The rest of the week is a bit of a fade. Wednesday the 29th sees the swell droppin' to 8ft, but the wind swings around to a light cross-onshore, makin' it a bit bumpy. Thursday the 30th is smaller again, around 5ft to 6ft, but with a very long period (19 seconds) that can make the wave a bit too straight for a beach break – but this is a reef, so it should still hold up. The wind is onshore and choppy, though, so it's only for the die-hards.
Then we hit a dead zone. Friday the 31st of July through to Wednesday the 5th of August is pretty much a right-off. The wind is howlin' onshore from the NW and NNW, and the swell is gettin' pumped up again, but it's all just poor, messy conditions. There's a gap of a few days here where you wouldn't even bother.
Hold on though, because the motherlode is showin' up in the second week. Thursday the 6th of August is the big one. The forecast is showin' a massive 23ft WSW swell with a very long period of 18 seconds, and the wind is forecast to be glassy in the afternoon. The energy is insane (18284). This is a once-in-a-blue-moon kind of swell. But here's the kicker: the forecast is sayin' it might be too big for this break. That's not a guarantee, but you'd need to be a top-tier expert to even think about paddlin' out. The Friday and Saturday after that are also huge, with clean offshores, but again, the swell is in the 18ft to 23ft range. It's a proper big-wave event, if you're that way inclined.
So, the best on offer is undeniably Tuesday the 28th of July for a clean, solid session without the bomb scare. The absolute standout, though, is the Thursday the 6th of August window, but that's a long-range, high-risk, high-reward proposition for experts only. If you're a normal surfer, stick to Tuesday.
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. 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.
