The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Conto Springs.
We’re in for a bit of a frustrating start, with the next few days bringing a whole lot of cross-onshore wind and messy conditions. The waiting game begins, but there’s some serious light at the end of the tunnel.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on the morning of Monday, July 27th. The wind swings around to a cross-offshore breeze, cleaning things up nicely. We’re looking at a solid 13ft of swell from the SW, with a combined energy of (5105), so there’s plenty of push. That’s a big wave though, over 8ft, so this is strictly for the experienced crew. The water is sitting at 67°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Tuesday, July 28th, is where it gets really interesting. The wind goes light and cross-offshore, and the swell drops slightly to a still-chunky 10ft in the morning, easing to 8ft in the afternoon. The period pushes out to a very long 14 seconds, and the energy is still strong (3480 and 3462). This is proper groundswell, and for a reef like Conto, that’s pure gold. The conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. This is a standout window.
By Wednesday, July 30th, the wind goes glassy in the morning, with a 7ft SW swell and a 15-second period. The energy is still pumping (3537). That’s your second real standout – clean, glassy, and lined up. This is the pick of the bunch for a surfer who wants quality without the raw power of the bigger days.
From August 1st, we get another morning of glassy conditions with an 12ft SW swell, but the energy is massive (5354). That’s a serious, serious swell. Only for experts who know the reef. The following days see the swell drop back, but the wind is a bit more onshore, so the quality fades.
There’s a big, promising swell showing up around the 3rd of August, with 16ft and energy readings over 14000, but the wind is cross-onshore and choppy, so it’s more of a raw, powerful beast than a clean, surfable wave. Then it all gets blown out by strong winds from the 4th onwards.
So to wrap it up: the standout, absolute best on offer is the Tuesday, July 28th session, with that clean, long-period groundswell and light winds. The Thursday, July 30th glassy morning is a very close second for a more manageable size. Get on it.
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.
