The Lowdown

G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s break down what’s coming for Conto Springs.

We’re looking at a rough start, but there’s some serious quality later on. Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th are basically a washout – messy onshore winds and choppy conditions, with swell around 5ft to 6ft from the SW. Not worth your time. Sunday the 26th is a big one, but it’s nasty – massive 15ft to 20ft swell with strong cross-shore winds up to 28 mph. That’s a total mess, more for the kite crowd than us. Skip it.

Monday the 27th is a turnaround. The wind goes cross-offshore from the S and SSE, cleaning things up. Swell is still solid at 10ft to 12ft from the SW, with moderate wave energy (3986) and clean conditions. It’s a bit big for beginners, but for the experienced crew, it’s on. Tuesday the 28th is even better – light ENE breeze, cross-offshore, swell at 8ft to 10ft from the SW, long 14-second period, and wave energy around 3600. That’s proper clean surf, excellent for experienced surfers. Crowds are possible, so keep your wits about you.

Wednesday the 29th and Thursday the 30th are a step down – the wind shifts cross-on, and the swell drops a bit, but there’s still decent energy. The 30th has a very long 19-second period swell in the afternoon, but it’s onshore, so it’s a bit of a letdown. Friday the 31st is another stinker with strong onshore winds and big, messy swell.

Now, the real standout. Saturday the 1st of August is the absolute pick of the outlook. The morning is already good with a 13ft SW swell and clean cross-offshore winds, but the afternoon is exceptional. 15ft of SW swell, 16-second period, clean conditions with a gentle SSE breeze, and wave energy is through the roof at 10034. That’s big, powerful, and clean – for expert surfers only. This is the one to mark on the calendar. Sunday the 2nd is still big but the wind turns cross-on, so it’s not as clean.

The water temperature is sitting at 67°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Conto Springs is a reef break, exposed to the WSW swell, and it’s very consistent. It’s rated as intermediate difficulty, so keep that in mind when the swell is over 8ft – that’s expert territory.

After that first week, the second week from Monday the 3rd to Thursday the 7th is a mixed bag. Mostly onshore winds and chop, with swell around 5ft to 10ft. Nothing to get excited about, but Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th of August show promise again – clean offshore winds from the SSE and SE, with solid 7ft to 12ft swell and very long periods. Saturday the 8th afternoon has an 8ft SW swell with a 17-second period and exceptional conditions for experts. Worth keeping an eye on, but it’s a long way out.

Overall, the best on offer is Saturday the 1st of August – that afternoon session is a true standout. Tuesday the 28th is a close second. Don’t bother with the first few days.

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.

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.
