The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a full 16-day window ahead for Conto Springs, and it’s a wild ride. The first few days are a write-off, but there’s a sweet spot of clean, solid groundswell in the middle, and then a monster pulse at the very end that’s only for the brave. The wait is worth it.
The water temp is sitting pretty close to normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real action we can talk about is Saturday 25 July, but honestly, it’s a no-go. The morning has a 5.6ft SW swell, but a cross-on 15.5 mph breeze from the north has it all chopped and messy. The combined wave energy is 1201, which is moderate, but the conditions are poor. The afternoon is worse with a 21.7 mph onshore wind. Sunday 26 July is a full-on skip—16.4ft SW swell in the morning with a 24.9 mph cross-on gale, energy at 6731, and it’s a mess. The afternoon drops to 18.0ft but is still crossed-up and lumpy.
Now Monday 27 July is where it starts to turn. The morning is clean, with a 11.5ft SW swell, a cross-off 12.4 mph wind from the south, and energy of 3563. It’s a bit marginal on the tide, but the afternoon is the first real standout. A 9.8ft SW swell, offshore 12.4 mph from the SSE, and a period of 13 seconds gives you proper groundswell. The energy is 3293, clean, and this is a solid intermediate session—excellent for experienced surfers. The 13-second period means decent shape and a bit of a lull between sets.
Tuesday 28 July is the absolute gem of the first week. The morning has a 9.8ft SW groundswell, 14-second period, and a cross-off 9.3 mph breeze from the ENE. It’s clean, energy at 3778. But the afternoon is glassy—3.1 mph from the SE, dead calm, 8.2ft SW swell, and a 14-second period. The energy is 3522. That’s a top-tier session at Conto Springs. The wind is perfect, the swell is solid, and it’s the best on offer in the first week.
Wednesday 29 July stays good. The morning has a 7.9ft SW swell with a very long 17-second period, but a light cross-on from the north makes it a bit rippled. Energy is 3377. The afternoon goes glassy again with a 7.2ft SW swell and 16-second period—clean, but the swell is dropping a bit. Thursday 30 July is another glassy morning, 6.9ft SW swell, 15-second period, and energy of 3464. The afternoon is a 5.9ft SW swell with a 19-second period, clean cross-off breeze, and energy of 3839. That’s a long, drawn-out groundswell—perfect for a reef like Conto, but the long period can make it a bit too straight for some, though the reef will handle it fine.
Friday 31 July sees a big jump. The morning is a 8.2ft SW swell, 16-second period, but a cross-on breeze from the north makes it choppy. The afternoon, though, is a standout: 13.1ft SW swell with a 21-second period—that’s a very long, powerful groundswell. Energy is 13952, which is strong. The wind is a gentle cross-on, so it’s a bit bumpy, but for experienced surfers, that’s a proper heavy session. Saturday 1 August is similar—14.8ft swell in the morning, 17-second period, 10177 energy, but the cross-on chop is building. The afternoon is a 13.1ft mess with a 12.4 mph onshore wind. Sunday 2 August brings a 9.8ft SW swell, 16-second period, with a light cross in the morning, but the afternoon gets clean again with a cross-off 6.2 mph breeze and energy of 3952. That’s another good one.
Monday 3 August falls apart with 21.7–28.0 mph onshore winds and 5.6ft swell. Tuesday 4 August is blown out with near-gale winds. Wednesday 5 August and Thursday 6 August are all poor and messy. Friday 7 August is a write-off.
Then we get to the final weekend. Saturday 8 August is a massive pulse: morning has 13.1ft SW swell, 14-second period, cross-on 12.4 mph, energy 7900—marginal. But the afternoon is the other true standout: 18.0ft SW swell, 20-second period, clean cross-off 9.3 mph from the south, and energy of 29440. That’s very strong energy. The forecast

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.
