The Lowdown
Alright, folks. Rusty here. Let’s get stuck into what’s coming our way. We’ve got a pretty solid run of swell on the cards, but the wind is gonna be the real story for Conto Springs. This place can handle a lot, but you gotta pick your moments.
The big picture: a powerful, long-period SW groundswell is set to roll in, with the combined energy cranking up to some serious numbers (16 ft at first, then peaking much higher). The water temp is running a touch warmer than normal at 67°F, which is always nice.
Wednesday afternoon (22 July) is where we kick things off. That’s a standout. We’ve got a clean 12 ft SW swell with a 15-second period, and the wind is blowing offshore from the SE at 15 km/h. That’s a recipe for some proper, heavy reef waves. The energy is strong (4982), so this is for experienced surfers only – 12 ft is well over the 8 ft mark, so it’s strictly expert territory. The offshore wind will keep it clean and lined up, but with crowds sometimes, you’ll have some company.
Thursday morning (23 July) sees the swell drop a touch to 8 ft, but the wind goes cross-shore from the NNE. Still a decent wave, but that wonky wind will put a bit of a chop on it. The afternoon session is a real sleeper hit though – the swell is 8 ft from the SW with a 14-second period, and the wind goes glassy from the WNW. That’s a rare treat. The energy is still high (1945), and for an intermediate, that’s a really good window for clean, powerful waves.
After that, things get messy. From Friday (24 July) right through the weekend and into early next week, the wind is a bastard. It’s mostly cross-on or onshore, and the quality is poor. On Sunday (26 July) it’s a near-gale, with a 16 ft swell getting completely blown out – that’s not surf, that’s survival. The wind does ease off a bit, but the chop will be nasty.
We get a little reprieve on Monday morning (27 July) and Tuesday morning (28 July). The wind is cross-off, so the waves are clean, even if the conditions are a bit marginal. Tuesday morning is a standout again: 8 ft SW swell with a 14-second period, clean under a light ENE breeze, and the energy is still pumping (3702). That’s a solid, powerful, clean wave for the confident surfer.
The middle of the next week (29th-30th) is a write-off again with onshore winds. But then we get a massive pulse starting on Thursday (31 July). Morning sees a 15 ft SW swell with a 16-second period, but it’s got a light cross-on wind, so it’ll be a bit lumpy. The energy is enormous (9126). That’s a beast of a swell.
Saturday 1 August is the king of the whole forecast. We’re looking at a 15 ft SSW swell, 16-second period, and the wind is offshore from the SE at 25 km/h. The combined energy is off the charts (16420). The file says it’s too big for this break, but for expert chargers on a big reef, that’s a call-out. The wind and tide are favorable, but that size is a serious commitment. This is a day for the very experienced only.
The following week sees a lot of average to poor conditions, with the swell hanging around 8 ft to 10 ft but the wind mostly onshore or cross-shore, keeping things choppy and messy.
So, the standout picks: Wednesday afternoon (22 July) for the first big, clean, offshore swell. And then Saturday 1 August for the massive, clean, offshore swell – but that’s a long-range call, so take it with a grain of salt, and it’s strictly for experts. The Thursday afternoon (23 July) glass-off is the sneaky best wave for the intermediate crew.
Rusty.
