The Lowdown
Righto, let’s have a look at what’s cooking. The big news is a solid run of south-west groundswell heading for Conto Springs, a reef break that’s very consistent and exposed to the juice. It’s an intermediate-level wave, but when it gets serious, it’s only for the experienced. The water temp is sitting about average for the time of year, nothing weird there.
We kick off on Tuesday the 21st of July with a solid 8ft SW swell, period around 14 seconds, and a cross-off wind from the south at 9 mph. The energy is pumping at 2633, but the forecast flags it as marginal. Still, it’s clean, and for a Tuesday arvo, you might have a chance of scoring a few without too many people out. It’s a bit below the standout mark, though.
Wednesday the 22nd is where things get interesting. That morning, we’ve got a big 12ft SW swell, with an extra-long 16-second period, and the combined energy is a massive 5863. Offshore wind from the east at 6 mph, light breeze, and the conditions are clean. This is for expert surfers only—anything over 8ft is serious. The afternoon is even better: same 12ft swell, 15-second period, and now a true offshore from the SE at 9 mph. That’s glassy, clean, and the energy is 5025. This is the standout session of the whole outlook. If you’ve got the skills, Wednesday afternoon at Conto Springs is the one.
Thursday the 23rd drops back a bit. 8ft SW swell, 14-second period, but the wind swings to a light cross from the NE in the morning, making it a little tricky. The energy is still decent at 2667, but the quality is marginal. Afternoon gets a 7ft swell with a light onshore from the NW, so it’s not great.
The rest of the first week fades. Friday the 24th is small and cross-onshore, Saturday the 25th is choppy and poor, and Sunday the 26th is a write-off with 28 mph winds and a messy 15ft swell. Monday the 27th is still lumpy with strong cross-onshore winds.
Then we get a solid reset on Tuesday the 28th of July. A 10ft SW swell, 14-second period, with a light cross-off from the SSE at 6 mph. Clean conditions, and the energy is 3807. The afternoon improves to a proper offshore, 8ft, and it’s clean again. This is another excellent window for experienced surfers, though not quite the peak of Wednesday.
Wednesday the 29th sees an 8ft SW swell with a very long 17-second period, but the wind is a moderate cross from the NNE, so it’s lumpy. The energy is 3850, but the quality is marginal. That long period might make the reef work well, but the wind is a buzzkill.
There’s a gap of poor conditions from Thursday the 30th of July right through to the end of the month and into early August. The 31st and 1st of August have clean cross-off winds but small swell, and the energy is weak. Sunday the 2nd of August shows an 8ft WSW swell with a 9-second period, which is short and weak, but the afternoon has a 8ft SW swell with a massive 20-second period and energy of 5008, with light cross-shore wind. That’s promising but still a few weeks out.
The final highlight lands on Tuesday the 4th of August. An 12ft SW swell, 15-second period, with a gentle cross-off from the south at 9 mph. Clean, and the energy is 5050. The afternoon is even cleaner with a light cross-off from the SSW. That’s a strong finish to the outlook, but it’s far out—so keep an eye on it.
Bottom line: Wednesday the 22nd of July afternoon is the absolute best. Tuesday the 28th of July is a solid backup. Everything else is either too big with wind, or too small. Stay sharp.
