The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s on the cards for Conto Springs over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you, this isn't a typical outlook for the spot – we’ve got a real mixed bag, and a whole lot of it is just too much of a good thing.
Let’s kick off this weekend, Saturday the 8th of August. There’s a massive SW groundswell rolling in, a super long-period 15 to 16 seconds, producing solid 21ft to 23ft faces. The combined energy is through the roof, at (20127) on the morning and hitting (25493) by the arvo. That’s a lot of water moving. Now, that kind of size is well into the "experts only" territory, and with a strong breeze blowing cross-off, it’ll be clean but absolutely heaving. This is the standout of the whole run if you’ve got the skills and the guts for it.
Come Sunday the 9th, it’s still big at 16ft with that 16-second period, but the wind swings to a cross-shore and the energy drops to (13043). It gets a bit messy and marginal. By the afternoon, the wind goes cross-onshore with a fresh breeze and the score drops right off.
We then hit a big lull in quality surf. Monday the 10th through to the Saturday the 22nd is a long stretch of poor to marginal conditions. The swell stays above 8ft for most of it but the winds are nearly all onshore or cross-onshore. From the 10th to the 14th, we're dealing with near gales, fresh breezes, and cross-chop. Even though there’s plenty of energy in the water, the quality just isn’t there for traditional surfing. Honestly, with the strong cross-shore winds and solid swell, a lot of these days look like they’d be more fun on a kite than a paddle board.
The second week, from the 15th of August onward, the swell continues to drop, settling around 8ft to 15ft. The wind stays mostly cross-onshore or onshore, keeping things choppy and lumpy. There are a few mornings like the 16th and 17th where the wind gets lighter, with a light breeze on the 16th arvo (12ft, 14s, W swell) and moderate breeze on the 17th morning (15ft, 17s, WSW swell), but the conditions are still just marginal at best.
Bottom line: if you’re an experienced charger looking for a paddle on the 8th, that’s your window, but it’s massive. For everyone else, this is a dry spell. The forecasts can always change, but for now, it’s a waiting game.
Stay safe out there,
Rusty
