Table - best surf conditions forecast for Conto Springs over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pipe for Conto Springs over the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a solid run of groundswell setting in, but it’s a bit of a mixed bag with the wind. Water temps are sitting at 67°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might get away with a slightly thinner wetsuit.
The action kicks off on Thursday, 9th July, but honestly, Thursday morning is a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a 10ft swell from the WSW, but with a light rain and a NW wind coming onshore, it’s going to be messy. The combined energy reading is 3321 – that’s moderate to strong energy – but the conditions just aren’t there. Thursday afternoon gets worse with a stiff cross-onshore wind, so give it a miss.
Friday, 10th July, things start to clean up. The morning sees a 8ft SW swell (2778) with a clean cross-offshore breeze. That’s more like it. The afternoon holds steady with 7ft and clean conditions. This is a good start to the weekend for an intermediate surfer.
Now, Saturday, 11th July is the standout of the first week. The morning kicks off with a 10ft SW swell (2948) and a clean cross-offshore wind. The afternoon is even better: the swell holds at 10ft, but the combined energy jumps to 3688, and the wind goes light and cross-off. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. The 14-second period means it’s proper groundswell, with good energy and longer lulls between sets. This is the day to be out.
Sunday, 12th July, stays big. The morning is 8ft, and by the afternoon we’re looking at an 12ft SW swell with a 17-second period. That’s a very long period groundswell, and the combined energy hits 6281 – strong. We’ve got a gentle cross-shore wind, so it’s rideable, but that long period will make it break a bit straight on the beach. For a reef like Conto Springs, it could actually line up nicely.
Monday, 13th July, is pumping. The swell holds at 13ft from the SW (7882) with a light cross-shore breeze. That’s big, powerful, and only for the well-experienced crew. The same goes for Tuesday, 14th July, with 12ft and 10ft, but the wind starts to shift, getting a bit cross-onshore in the afternoon.
Then we hit a rough patch. From Wednesday, 15th July, through to Thursday, 16th July, the wind swings onshore and gets strong. Wednesday sees 30 km/h winds, making it a total mess. Friday, 17th July, starts even worse with 35 km/h onshore, but hold on – Friday afternoon, 17th July, is a sneaky little gem. The wind drops to glassy, and you’ve got an 8ft WSW swell with a 15-second period. That’s clean, glassy, and perfect for an experienced surfer. The combined energy is 3275. A total surprise after a horrible morning.
Saturday, 18th July, is smaller but clean with a 7ft SW swell and a cross-offshore breeze. A good option for the intermediates. Sunday, 19th July, also offers clean surf with a 6ft SW swell and an offshore wind in the afternoon. Nice and clean.
The surf drops off through Monday and Tuesday, 20th-21st July, with smaller 3ft to 4ft swells and weak energy. This is a lull in the action.
Now, for the real big one. The forecast for Thursday, 23rd July, is looking absolutely massive. A 16ft WSW swell (7365) in the morning, building to 18ft (9458) in the afternoon, with a clean cross-offshore wind. This is huge, powerful, and only for the most experienced. The combined energy is getting up there.
Then on Friday, 24th July, it gets even more insane. The morning shows an 18ft SW swell with a 17-second period, and the combined energy is a monstrous 17251. The wind is light and clean. The afternoon pushes that energy to 25951. This is dangerous, expert-only territory. The swell is too big for this break, so unless you’re charging, stay on the beach and watch.
So, to wrap it up: your best bets are Saturday, 11th July for the first week, and Friday afternoon, 17th July for a glassy surprise. The second week is all about the massive swell on Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th, but that’s for the hardcore crew only.
Stay safe out there.
Rusty.
