The Lowdown
Righto, Rusty here. Let's get stuck into the outlook for Conto Springs. This place is a reef setup, and it's very consistent, so it's always got potential. The water's sitting at 67°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might not need the thickest wettie.
Thursday afternoon (23rd July) is a ripper to kick things off. We've got a solid 8ft SW groundswell rolling in with a 14-second period, and the wind is glassy as anything – a WSW breeze at 3 mph. The wave energy is strong (1945), and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. This is a standout, but at 8ft, it's getting a bit meaty for the beginners.
Friday morning (24th July) sees the swell drop to 5ft, but the wind swings to a cross-onshore northerly at 9 mph, making it choppy and poor. Same story for the afternoon. Not your day.
Saturday (25th July) is more of the same – cross-onshore winds and choppy, with the swell around 6ft in the morning. The energy is still moderate (1274), but the wind is a mess.
Sunday (26th July) is a write-off. The morning is a near-gale strength NNW wind, and the afternoon brings a 10ft WNW swell, but it's a short-period 8-second wind swell, blown out by a 31 mph cross-onshore. Steer clear.
Now, Monday (27th July) is interesting. The swell jumps to a massive 15ft from the WSW with a 14-second period. The wind is a cross-shore, and the wave energy is very strong (7878). This is for experts only. It's marginal, but the afternoon looks cleaner with a cross-offshore wind. Still, 13ft is no joke.
Tuesday (28th July) is a beauty. The swell drops to 10ft from the SW, but the wind is a clean cross-offshore from the ENE at 6 mph in the morning. By the afternoon, it goes glassy, with a 8ft SW swell and a 14-second period. Wave energy is very strong (3793). This is excellent, clean, and classic Conto.
Wednesday (29th July) is a letdown. The swell is still a solid 8ft with a very long 17-second period, but the cross-onshore northerly wind at 16 mph chops it up. That long period makes it a bit tricky too – it'll be best on the reef, but the wind is the enemy.
Thursday (30th July) – the afternoon is the real standout here. The swell hits 10ft from the SW with an incredible 18-second period. The wind is a clean offshore from the SSE at 12 mph. Wave energy is extreme (6247). This is exceptional for expert surfers. The morning is a bit uncertain with an onshore wind, but the afternoon is pure gold.
Friday (31st July) brings a big 13ft SW swell, but it's cross-onshore and choppy again. The size is there, but the wind kills it.
August starts nicely. Saturday (1st August) has a 8ft SW swell dropping to 8ft, with a clean offshore wind all day. The energy is strong. This is a solid, clean option for experienced surfers.
Sunday (2nd August) is a big one – 13ft SW swell with a 17-second period, but the cross-onshore wind from the NNE makes it messy. The energy is massive (9817), but it's a challenge.
Monday (3rd August) and Tuesday (4th August) are poor. Tuesday afternoon sees a massive 23ft SW swell, which is just too big for this break. That's a no-go zone.
Wednesday (5th August) has a 13ft SW swell, but the wind is a clean cross-offshore. The energy is very strong (5763). This is for the experts, and it's clean.
Now, the absolute standout of the whole outlook is Thursday (6th August). The swell is a solid 13ft from the SW with a very long 17-second period, and the wind is a clean cross-offshore in the morning, then glassy in the afternoon. Wave energy is extreme (9099). This is exceptional, clean, and for experts only. The crowd profile says "sometimes," so you might have some company, but with waves like that, it's worth it.
Friday (7th August) finishes the period with a 12ft SW swell and glassy conditions in the morning. The energy is very strong (4572). Another clean, solid day.
So, to sum it up: Thursday afternoon (30th July) and Thursday (6th August) are the true standouts. The 6th August is the best on offer – that combination of size, period, and glassy wind is rare. Get on it, but only if you've got the skills.
Rusty.

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.
