The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, we’ve got a bit of a mixed bag on the cards for Conto Springs. The coming days are gonna be a bit of a test of patience, but there’s a solid window of clean, powerful surf if you’re willing to wait for it. The water is sitting at 67°, which is a touch warmer than you’d expect for this time of year, so that’s a nice little bonus.
The first real standout is shaping up for Wednesday, July 22nd. That morning, we’re looking at a solid 10ft swell from the WSW with a very long period of 16 seconds. The combined energy is massive at 5863, and we’ve got a light breeze from the east keeping it clean. This is serious groundswell, and on a reef break like Conto Springs, it’ll be offering up some proper, well-shaped walls. That said, at 10ft, this is strictly for experienced surfers – it’s pushing into expert territory. The afternoon holds up nicely too, with a gentle offshore from the SE and the swell still sitting at 10ft. The energy is still massive at 5495. If you’re charging, this is the day.
The following Thursday, July 23rd is also worth a mention. The morning is a bit smaller, 8ft from the SW, but the real treat is the afternoon. The swell drops to 7ft, the wind swings to a glassy 3 mph from the SW, and the energy is a manageable 1505. It’s clean, lined-up, and would be a dream for a longboard or a funboard. The crowd factor is “sometimes” so you might have a few locals out, but it’s worth it.
The end of the month and the start of August see a massive pulse of swell. For August 1st, we’re seeing a 26ft monster from the WSW with a period of 18 seconds in the afternoon. The combined energy is a staggering 40605. That’s a serious, serious ocean. The forecast says the wind and tide are favorable, but the swell is simply too big for this break. Unless you’re on a jet ski and towing in, it’s a pass. August 3rd is much the same story, with 18ft swell and 18660 energy – too much for a paddle session.
In between, there are a few mornings with clean, offshore winds, like Tuesday, July 28th with a 8ft SW swell, and July 30th with 7ft from the SW and a very long 19-second period. The energy is moderate to strong, but the surf is clean. These are the days to keep an eye on if the big stuff is too much.
Overall, the best surf on offer is that Wednesday, July 22nd for the experts, and the glassy afternoon of the 23rd for everyone else. Don’t bother with the 25th or 26th – those are messy, wind-blown affairs. The 1st and 3rd of August are just too big.
Rusty.
