The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at Conto Springs.
We’ve got a quiet start, no point rushing out until the 1st of August. The wind’s blown the first few days out, so just wait it out.
Come Saturday the 1st of August afternoon, the tide turns. Swell’s a solid 5ft from the SW, with a 15-second period, packing some serious punch – combined energy sits at 9490 (moderate to strong). The wind is light offshore, S at 9 mph, leaving the surface glassy. This is an exposed reef that loves a WSW direction, so it’s going to be a ripper. The water’s at 67°, a hefty 4° warmer than normal, which is a real bonus for this time of year.
Now, mark Wednesday the 12th of August afternoon on your calendar. That’s a standout for experts only. We’re looking at a 12ft SW groundswell with a 17-second period – that’s serious, long-period energy. The wind is light from the SW at 6 mph, cross-offshore, keeping the reef face smooth. The combined energy is a powerful 6929. Crowds are sometimes here, but on a day like that, only the brave will be out.
The 9th of August sees a 21ft swell from the WSW, but it’s cross-on and way too big for this break. The week following that is mostly blown out by strong winds and massive swell, until that clean-up on the 12th.
Best call: Saturday the 1st afternoon for a big, clean session, and the 12th of August for a world-class, expert-only paddle.
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. If you surf the same spot (Conto Springs) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
