G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s ahead over the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a solid winter groundswell train coming through, but it’s gonna take a little patience and some wind dodging. The real standout window is around Monday the 6th and Tuesday the 7th – big, powerful SW groundswell with glassy offshore breeze. That’s the one to circle if you’ve got the experience.
We start a bit slow today, Friday the 3rd. The morning brings a 10ft SW groundswell (combined energy 3345) with a light cross-offshore ENE breeze, so it’s clean. That’s solid, powerful surf with a 14-second period – pushing hard. At Conto Springs, the water’s at 68°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – about 3°F above average. Pretty nice. Friday afternoon goes glassy with a light W breeze, same solid 10ft SW swell – clean, lined-up sets. This is excellent for experienced surfers – not a beginner wave.
The weekend’s a mess. Saturday the 4th has a big 10ft SW groundswell ruined by a strong cross-onshore NNE breeze, 12-15 mph. The wave period hits 17 seconds Saturday morning – very long period groundswell. On a reef like Conto Springs, that’ll make for powerful, grinding walls, but with onshore wind, it’s choppy and tough. Not worth it. Sunday the 5th is worse – heavy onshore wind, 25 mph NW in the morning, dropping to 22 mph from the south but still messy. Swell drops to 5ft morning, then 7ft afternoon – marginal.
Now Monday the 6th is where it’s at. We’ve got a big pulse of 13ft SW groundswell, period 15-16 seconds (combined energy 8074 afternoon). And the wind switches to a moderate offshore from the SE/ESE, 12-15 mph. That’s clean, offshore, powerful surf for experts only. Tuesday the 7th keeps it going with 13ft easing to 12ft, gentle 9 mph offshore from the SE. Glassy morning, clean all day. The best two days.
Wednesday the 8th holds at 10ft with a 17-second period in the morning, still offshore, wind goes cross-off in the afternoon – still very good. Thursday the 9th drops to 8ft, period down to 14 seconds, cross-off winds – good for experienced surfers.
Friday the 10th eases to 7-7ft, light offshore in the afternoon, clean. Then Saturday the 11th morning has 25 mph cross-off wind, but the afternoon has a surprise: 7ft SW groundswell with a 20-second period – an absolute monster period. Combined energy jumps to 4424. Clean with a moderate offshore SE breeze. That’s a late call but worth watching.
The following week (Monday 13th through Saturday 18th) is active but more variable. Monday 13th and Tuesday 14th have another pulse of 10-12ft SW swell, but winds are cross-off or cross-shore. Wednesday 15th and Thursday 16th are blown out. Then Friday 17th sees 18ft WSW swell (combined energy 25205) – extreme – but cross-onshore wind and too big for the break. Saturday 18th morning has 20ft WSW swell (combined energy 14131) with a light cross-off ESE breeze – exceptional for experts, but a week and a half out.
There are gaps. After Friday the 3rd, the weekend is a write-off, so Monday the 6th is your first proper session. Then a lull around Thursday the 9th to Saturday the 11th morning.
The spot is Conto Springs – a reef break, very consistent, exposed to W/SW swell, and it loves that optimum SW direction. Crowds can show up sometimes. It’s for intermediate to expert surfers.
So my call: Monday 6th July and Tuesday 7th July are the standouts – 13ft SW groundswell, long 15-16 second period, and clean offshore wind. Plan for that.
Stay safe out there.

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.
