Table - best surf conditions forecast for Conto Springs over the next 16 days.
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s get into it.
We’ve got a solid run of surf coming up at Conto Springs, but you’ll need to be patient through the first day or two. Thursday afternoon is a bit of a write-off – cross-on slop with 8ft WSW swell, but it’s choppy and messy. Not worth a paddle. The real action starts to build from Friday morning. Friday morning sees a clean 8ft SW swell with a cross-off breeze, and it stays tidy through the afternoon. It’s still a bit average for quality, but you’ll get some fun ones.
Come Saturday morning, things start to get good. The swell jumps to 10ft SW, with a gentle cross-off breeze and clean conditions. That’s intermediate territory, but it’s got some punch. Saturday afternoon is even better – same 10ft SW, but the wind drops to a light breeze, and the period stretches to 14 seconds. The combined energy is strong (3688), and the waves will have proper shape. That’s a standout.
Sunday is a mixed bag. Morning is cross-shore and a bit bumpy with 8ft SW, but the afternoon brings a big 12ft SW swell at 17 seconds – very long period groundswell. The combined energy is massive (6281), but it’s cross-shore with a slight chop. That’s more for experienced surfers, and the long period might make it a bit tricky at a reef break like this, but when it lines up, it’ll be a sight.
Now, Monday 13th July is the absolute standout. Morning session is glassy – glassy! – with 13ft SW swell at 16 seconds. Combined energy is off the charts (7882). This is exceptional surf, but only for expert surfers. That’s big, powerful, long-period groundswell with zero wind. If you’re skilled enough, this is the session to aim for. The water is 67°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – about 2° above average, so you’ll notice it’s a bit more comfortable.
After Monday, the quality drops. Tuesday sees cross-on wind and the swell holding at 10ft, but it’s bumpy. Wednesday and Thursday (15th-16th July) are a write-off – strong onshore winds and lumpy, choppy surf. The combined energy is still there, but it’s not for paddling. Could be decent for kite surfing though.
The second week picks up again. Friday 17th July afternoon has a clean 10ft WSW swell with a strong cross-off breeze – a bit wild, but clean. Saturday 18th July is better: 13ft SW swell, clean cross-off, and moderate breeze. Combined energy is strong (5239). That’s for the experienced crew.
The next real standout is Tuesday 21st July. Afternoon session has a 8ft SW swell at 16 seconds, with a moderate offshore breeze – clean and powerful. Combined energy is very strong (6029). That’s exceptional for experts. Wednesday 22nd July morning also looks excellent: 12ft SW, long period, light cross-off, and clean.
The run fades out with smaller, cleaner waves from Thursday 23rd July into Friday 24th July – 6ft to 8ft SW, light winds, and clean. Perfect for intermediates looking for a fun session without the size.
All in all, the best on offer is Monday 13th July morning for the big, glassy, expert-level groundswell, and Tuesday 21st July afternoon for that clean offshore power. Don’t sleep on those.
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. Our Conto Springs surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Conto Springs) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
Conto Springs is 106 km (66 miles) from the city of Bunbury. If you plan a holiday in Margaret River, look for hotels and other accommodation in Bunbury. Bunbury has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
