Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s shaping up at Conto Springs.

We’ve got a solid run of swell coming, but it’s a real mixed bag with the wind. The water’s sitting at 67° right now, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – you won’t need the thickest winter rubber.

The real standout is going to be the first session, Sunday afternoon. We’ve got a solid 13ft SW groundswell rolling in with a long 18-second period, and the energy is pumping (9126). That’s a powerful, proper groundswell, and with a gentle cross-shore breeze, it should be clean. Conto Springs is a reef break, so that long period will really stand it up and give you some nice, deep barrels. It is an exposed spot, so it’ll be handling all that energy. The water’s a touch warmer than normal too, so you’re in for a treat. Just be aware, it’s a very consistent break and it can get crowded sometimes, so get in early.

Monday morning (13th July) is still a great option. The swell dips a touch to 12ft, but the period is still a very long 16 seconds, and the energy is strong (7053). The wind is a light cross-shore, keeping things clean. It’s a bit smaller than Sunday, but that’s still a big, powerful wave.

Tuesday (14th July) is still on the table with 10ft of 15-second swell, but the wind swings cross-on, so the surface will start to get a little bumpy. The energy is still moderate (3973), but it’s not as clean.

Then we hit a week of rough conditions. From Wednesday (15th July) right through to the end of the following week, the wind is either fresh or strong, mostly cross-on or onshore, blowing out the surf. The swell sizes are still there, but the quality is poor. There’s a big spike on Saturday the 18th with 18ft of swell, but it’s joined by 25 mph winds, making it a total mess. That same thing happens again on the 23rd with 20ft of swell and strong onshore winds. Those days are for experts only, and even then, it’s going to be a washing machine. For a beach break, this setup would be better for a kite surfer, but Conto is a reef, so it’s just dangerous and ugly.

We get a small window of clean conditions on the 21st and 22nd, with a 8ft SW swell and a light cross-off shore breeze, so the lines will be nice and clean. It’s a touch smaller, but the energy is still moderate (2296), and it’ll be a welcome change of pace.

The next real crack comes on the 24th of July. Friday morning has a solid 13ft SW groundswell with a 15-second period (6527 energy) and a gentle cross-offshore breeze. That’s clean, powerful, and lined up. The afternoon is even cleaner, with the same cross-off wind and an 12ft swell. The forecast says it’s excellent for experienced surfers, and I’d agree. That’s your second standout.

After that, the swell fades and the wind gets messy again, dribbling out through the end of the month.

So, to wrap it up: your best bets are Sunday afternoon, 12th July, and Friday morning, 24th July. The first one is the biggest and cleanest, the second is a bit smaller but still a fantastic, clean groundswell. Don’t bother with the gale-force days in between.

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.

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.
