Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s headed our way.
We’ve got a solid run of swell on the cards for Conto Springs, but it’s not all smooth sailing. The water is sitting at 67°F, which is a touch warmer than you’d expect for this time of year, so maybe leave the thickest wetsuit at home.
The first surf worth paddling out for is Friday morning, 10 July. It’s a clean 8ft of SW groundswell with a 13-second period, so there’s some proper energy in the water. The wind is a moderate cross-off, so the faces will be workable. It’s not the best of the run, but it’s a start.
Saturday, 11 July steps it up. Morning sees 10ft of SW swell (14 seconds) and the wind stays cross-off – that’s a proper session for experienced surfers. The afternoon is even better, with the same size but a lighter breeze, making it cleaner. The wave quality is top notch.
Sunday afternoon, 12 July is the standout. This is the one. You’re looking at 12ft of SW groundswell with an 18-second period – that’s a very long period groundswell, meaning heaps of energy and some proper bombs. The wind is cross-off, and the model is calling this exceptional for experts. If you’ve got the skills, this is the session to circle. The 12ft size is right on the edge of what’s comfortably surfable, so only for those who know what they’re doing.
Monday, 13 July holds similar size (12ft) and period (16 seconds), but the wind goes cross-shore, so it’s a bit more lumpy. Still plenty of power but not as clean as Sunday.
Tuesday, 14 July is a sleeper gem. Morning is glassy with a 12ft SW swell (15 seconds) and the wind is a light offshore. That’s rare. The afternoon goes dead calm with 10ft and glassy conditions. If you want clean, lined-up waves with no wind, this is your day.
Wednesday, 15 July is a write-off. Strong onshore winds and rain make a mess of things. Give it a miss.
Thursday, 16 July sees a return to form. Morning session has 10ft of WSW swell with a cross-off breeze – clean and solid for experienced surfers.
Friday, 17 July is no good. Strong cross-onshore winds and lumpy conditions.
Saturday, 18 July is wild. 13ft of WSW swell with a 19-second period – that’s enormous energy. The morning is a near gale cross-shore, but the afternoon cleans up with a strong cross-off. Still, 13ft is only for the brave.
Sunday, 19 July is another big day. 15ft of WSW swell (14 seconds) and cross-off winds. This is solid, heavy, expert-only territory.
Monday, 20 July drops back to 8ft with a clean offshore breeze. That’s a beautiful, manageable size for experienced surfers.
Tuesday, 21 July morning sees 8ft with a short 8-second period – that’s weaker, windswell energy. The afternoon bumps up to 13ft (10 seconds) with clean conditions.
Wednesday, 22 July is a glassy morning with 12ft of SW groundswell (14 seconds) – that’s a dream. Clean, powerful, and no wind.
Thursday, 23 July is clean offshore with 8ft of SW swell. Lovely.
The last few days of the window get messy again, with Friday 24 July having onshore winds and smaller surf, and Saturday 25 July serving up massive 16ft swell with strong cross-onshore winds – that’s too big and too windy for the break.
The real standout is Sunday afternoon, 12 July for the experts, and Tuesday, 14 July for anyone who wants a clean, glassy session with solid size.
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.

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.
