Alright, let’s get into it. This is gonna be a big dump of swell over the next couple of weeks, but we’ve gotta sift through the wind to find the good bits. The main player here is a long-period, big SW groundswell that’s gonna be pumping into Conto Springs. The water temp’s about average for this time of year, nothing crazy there.
Saturday the 4th is a write-off. We’ve got a decent 10ft SW groundswell with a very long 17-second period, but a strong cross-shore wind is just chopping it up. The energy is strong (5389), but the conditions are rubbish. It’s a no-go for a paddle. Sunday the 5th is similar – a howling onshore wind in the morning and a cross-off in the arvo that cleans it up a bit, but the swell is dropping and still a bit wild.
Now, Monday the 6th of July is where it’s at. Absolute standout. Expert-only territory. A solid 13ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period, and the wind is moderate offshore from the SE all day. The energy is pumping (6953 in the morning, 8179 in the afternoon). This is gonna be big, clean, and powerful. It’s exposed to that SW swell, so it’s handling it perfectly. Expect some serious barrels for the crew that can handle it. After that, Tuesday the 7th holds well: 12ft dropping to 10ft, still cross-off winds, clean faces. Another great day for experienced surfers, though the tide might be a factor later.
We get a bit of a lull in quality after that. Wednesday the 8th has a light wind day but a bit of onshore in the morning. The afternoon looks sweet – 10ft SW swell with clean cross-off breezes. Thursday and Friday the 9th and 10th get messy with onshore winds kicking up again, turning the swell into a lumpy mess. The swell drops in period too, getting shorter. Not your friend.
The second week starts to look promising again. Sunday the 12th is another standout. A clean 12ft SW groundswell (16-second period, 6160 energy) with gentle offshore winds from the SE in the afternoon. That’s a session with some serious power and clean conditions. Monday the 13th holds big (13ft) but with a light cross-shore that might put a tiny wrinkle on it. Still good for the experts.
Tuesday the 14th has a moment of glory in the arvo: glassy conditions with an 8ft SW swell. That’s a sweet, clean window for the intermediate crowd to get some. After that, the wind turns ugly again from the 15th through the 17th, with strong cross-onshore and onshore winds making a mess of some very large swell (13ft to 15ft). That setup is honestly more interesting for kite-surfing than for a clean paddle session.
We finish up on the 18th and 19th with cleaner cross-off winds and a dropping 12ft to 8ft swell. It’ll be rideable, but not the epic quality of that first Monday or the Sunday before.
So, the standout sessions are Monday the 6th and Sunday the 12th. Both are expert-only, big, clean, and pumping. For the intermediate surfer, keep an eye on the Tuesday 14th afternoon glass-off.

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.
