The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty. Let’s talk about Conto Springs.
We’ve got a serious run of swell heading our way, but the wind is going to fight us for most of it. The opening window is the standout, but after that, you’ll need to pick your moments carefully. This is a very exposed reef break, so when the conditions align, it can be world-class. The water temp is around average for the time of year.
Wednesday the 22nd is where it’s at. The swell is a solid 12 ft from the SW with a very long period of 16 seconds – that’s proper groundswell with heaps of energy. The wind is light ESE at 6 mph, holding it clean. This is exceptional surf for experienced and expert surfers. The morning looks best with the light cross-off breeze, but the afternoon stays excellent too, with a gentle offshore and the swell still pumping. This is the session to aim for, though the crowd might be around.
Thursday the 23rd is still solid, with a 8 ft to 8 ft SW swell and a long 14 second period. The morning wind swings NE at 6 mph, creating a bit of a cross-shore bump, but the afternoon cleans right up with a light SSW cross-off at just 3 mph. The energy drops a bit, but it’s quality and less intense than Wednesday.
Then we hit a rough patch. Friday the 24th through to Saturday the 2nd of August is largely blown out by onshore and strong winds. There are a few small windows – Sunday afternoon the 26th has a 13 ft SW swell with a fresh cross-off breeze, but it’s marginal. Monday the 27th sees offshore winds (SSE 12 mph) with a 10 ft SW groundswell, offering excellent but challenging conditions for experienced surfers. That’s a good backup.
From the end of July into August, there are a couple of days with huge swell – 16 ft, 23 ft – but the wind is howling. Sunday the 2nd of August has a massive 23 ft WSW swell at an 18-second period, but with strong cross-onshore winds, it’s messy and, frankly, too big for all but the most extreme experts. The setup starts to look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on these days.
The tail end, around the 5th and 6th of August, is still big but the wind stays ugly. Thursday the 6th has 16 ft WSW swell but with a moderate cross-onshore chop.
So, your move: Wednesday the 22nd is the clear winner. Get on that morning session. Thursday afternoon is a solid second choice. The rest of the run is a watch-and-wait game for a brief window of cleaner conditions.
Rusty.

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.
