Table - best surf conditions forecast for Conto Springs over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a classic West Coast run shaping up at Conto Springs – this reef setup is exposed to the SW and it’s very consistent, so you’re never waiting long for a set. The water’s sitting at 67°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might get away with a 3/2 or even a spring suit if you’re brave.
Wednesday morning (July 8th) kicks things off with a solid 12ft SW groundswell running a long 16 seconds – that’s proper energy, with combined swell energy at 5943 (moderate to strong). Wind’s glassy out of the NW at only 3 mph, so conditions are absolutely pristine. This is expert territory at this size; 12ft on a reef is no joke, but for those with the skills, it’s exceptional surf. Crowds are sometimes an issue, but on a Wednesday morning you might dodge the worst of it. The optimum swell is WSW and we’re getting SW, so it’s a touch off-angle, but with that period and that wind, you won’t care.
Wednesday afternoon clouds up with a NNW breeze picking up to 9 mph, still offshore but not glassy. The swell holds at 12ft, period drops to 15 seconds, and the energy is still huge at 5347. It’s marginal though – questionable tide or conditions mean it’s not the peak.
Thursday (July 9th) turns onshore with W 12 mph cross-on in the morning and WSW 9 mph cross-on in the arvo. Swell backs off to 10ft and then 8ft, periods around 14 seconds. Energy’s still strong (3515, 3064), but that cross-on chop ruins the surface. Not your day unless you love battling the wind.
Friday (July 10th) cleans right up – morning has S 12 mph cross-off, 7ft SW at 13 seconds, energy 2063. Arvo sees 6ft with S 9 mph cross-off, energy 1772. Clean surf, but small and fading. Fun for a grovel session if you’re keen.
Saturday (July 11th) is where it starts to build again. Clear skies, S 6 mph cross-off in the morning, 8ft SW at 14 seconds, energy 2223. Excellent for experienced surfers. Arvo holds 10ft with SSW 9 mph cross-off, energy 2866. Clean, solid, and very surfable.
Sunday (July 12th) is the standout of the whole run. Morning has 10ft SW at 15 seconds, SSW 9 mph cross-off, energy 5509 – exceptional for experts. But the arvo is pure magic: 12ft SW, 17 second period – that’s a very long period groundswell – with SSW 6 mph cross-off, glassy. Energy hits 8033 (strong). This is the session. The long period will make it wall up beautifully on the reef, but at beach breaks it can race, so here at Conto it’ll be lined-up perfection. Crowds are just sometimes, but for this quality you’ll have company.
Monday (July 13th) keeps the goods: 12ft SW at 16 seconds, WSW 6 mph cross in the morning (energy 6449, marginal tide), then arvo with SSW 6 mph cross-off (energy 5048, exceptional). Both sessions clean enough, but the morning has a slight cross-shore ripple.
Tuesday (July 14th) is another beauty: NE 6 mph cross-off in the morning, 10ft SW at 15 seconds, energy 3973. Arvo goes glassy with S 3 mph, same 10ft SW, energy 3746. Glassy, clean, excellent for experienced surfers. Absolute joy.
Then we hit a rough patch. Wednesday (July 15th) morning gets N 19 mph cross-on, 8ft SW, and it’s poor – zero rating. Arvo is worse with NW 16 mph onshore. Thursday (July 16th) stays cross-on and rainy, 10ft but messy with NW 16 mph. Friday (July 17th) and Saturday (July 18th) are blown out with strong winds and lumpy, choppy conditions – not worth paddling out. Sunday (July 19th) gets wild: 20ft to 23ft SW with near-gale cross-shore winds, energy over 18000 – that’s very strong, but it’s too big and windy for safe surfing. Monday (July 20th) still has 21ft WSW swell but with manageable cross-off and cross winds, though again, that’s expert-only and borderline. The rest of the forecast through to July 23rd is dominated by onshore winds, rain, and big to messy swell – mostly a write-off.
Overall, the standout is Sunday July 12th afternoon – that combination of 12ft, 17-second period, glassy cross-off wind, and strong energy is as good as it gets for experienced surfers at Conto Springs. Tuesday July 14th arvo with glassy conditions comes a close second. The first week is your window; after that, the wind and size turn ugly.
Stay safe out there.
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.
