The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the next 16 days for Conto Springs. It’s a reef break, exposed and very consistent, so it’s always got potential. The water is running at 67° – that’s a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
The first real action is on Sunday the 19th, but it’s a bit of a mess. You’ve got a solid 10ft swell from the WSW, but the wind is onshore at 9 mph, making it choppy and marginal. The wave energy is pumping at 3659, but it’s not clean. The afternoon clears up, but it’s still rough.
Monday the 20th is a total write-off. Swell drops to 8ft, but the wind is howling cross-onshore at 12-16 mph, making it choppy and awful.
Tuesday the 21st is where it gets good. The wind swings southerly, becoming a clean cross-offshore breeze at 9 mph. The swell is a solid 8ft from the SW with a period of 13-14 seconds, and the energy is 2670. The morning is clean and excellent for experienced surfers. This is a standout session – glassy conditions and that groundswell will deliver proper waves. It can get crowded here, so expect some company.
Wednesday the 22nd is the absolute gem. The morning has a 12ft SW swell with a very long period of 16 seconds, and the energy is a massive 5937. Wind is light and cross-offshore from the east at 6 mph. The afternoon gets even better with a full offshore from the SE at 9 mph. This is exceptional for experts. That long period groundswell loves a reef like this – long, powerful lines. If you’re experienced, this is your day.
Thursday the 23rd is a step down. Swell drops to 8ft, and the wind is light and variable. It’s clean, but nothing special.
From Friday the 24th through to the end of the month, it’s a long stretch of mediocrity. The swell fades to 4ft to 6ft, and the wind is mostly cross-onshore, making it choppy. There’s a big spike of 13ft on the 30th, but the wind is a near gale, so it’s blown out and dangerous. That one’s for the kite surfers.
The second week opens with a massive 18ft plus swell on Friday the 31st. Energy is a staggering 15519, but the wind is strong cross-shore, creating lumpy chaos. It’s way too big for this break, expert-only. The following days into August see 13ft plus swells, but the wind is howling from the west, onshore and messy. Not worth it.
Bottom line: The standout is Wednesday the 22nd. Get there. The backup is Tuesday the 21st. Everything else is a miss or a challenge.
Rusty out.

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.
