Righto, Rusty here. Let’s have a look what’s cooking at Conto Springs. We’ve got a big run of swell coming, but it’s not all clean and easy. The water’s sitting at 67.3°F, which is a touch warmer than we’d normally expect for this time of year. That’s a nice little bonus if you’re paddling out. The first real showing kicks off Sunday morning the 12th, but it’s a mixed bag.

Sunday morning, July 12th: The swell’s already pushing 9.8ft from the SW, with a solid 14-second period – proper groundswell energy. Combined energy is high at 5800. The wind is cross and it’s a bit lumpy with some chop. It’s not perfect, but there’ll be waves. By Sunday afternoon, it jumps to 13.1ft from the SW, with an 18-second period and energy through the roof at 9126. Still cross-shore wind and a bit of chop. This is big, powerful stuff. Over 8.2ft, so only for the experienced crew.

Monday, July 13th: The swell holds around 11.5ft to 9.8ft from the SW, with 16-second period. Wind’s light cross-shore in the morning, giving a slight ripple, and stays light cross-shore in the afternoon. The energy is still hefty at 7053 and 5497. Good, but still on the big side for most.

Tuesday, July 14th: Drops a little, 9.8ft from the SW, 15-second period. Morning wind is light cross from the NNE – clean-ish but cross. Afternoon turns cross-on from the N with small ripples. Energy drops to 3306. It’s still OK, but nothing to write home about.

Wednesday, July 15th through Friday, July 17th: This is where it gets ugly. Wednesday morning we’ve got 9.8ft with a 17-second period, but the wind is howling onshore from the N at 22 mph, making it lumpy and poor. Wednesday afternoon is full onshore with rain. Thursday is more of the same – 11.5ft, cross-on, 22 mph wind from the north. Friday is completely blown out with 25 mph onshore winds and risk of storms. Forget it. These days are a write-off for surfing.

Saturday, July 18th: Swell peaks big – 19.7ft from the WSW with a 17-second period – energy is massive at 19589. But the wind is a strong cross-shore at 25 mph. The note says the swell is too big for this break. That’s kite territory, not paddle surfing. Only the absolute lunatics on jet skis might be out.

Sunday, July 19th: Drops to 13.1ft in the morning, 11.5ft in the afternoon, and 14-second period. Wind is cross-on from the west at 12 mph, choppy. Still marginal and messy.

Monday, July 20th: Now we’re talking. The crowd clears out after that junk. Morning sees 7.5ft from the SW, 11-second period, and light cross-off wind from the SSE. Clean conditions, and the energy is down to 1268. This is the first real standout: clean, manageable size for intermediate surfers, and the wind is off the land. It’s going to be glassy and fun. Afternoon picks up a light cross-off breeze too, with 6.2ft waves. That morning session is the pick of the first week.

Tuesday, July 21st: Swell drops further – 5.2ft to 6.2ft – but the wind is onshore or cross-on, so it’s a bit choppy. Not worth the paddle.

Wednesday, July 22nd: Another gem. Morning gives us 4.3ft from the SW, 12-second period. Light cross-off wind from the SSW, clean conditions. Energy is low at 559, but the quality will be there. The afternoon is even better: 3.6ft

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.
