The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty. Let's look at what’s coming down the line for Conto Springs. We've got a big window of surf ahead, but you gotta pick your moments. The pattern is starting out a bit rough, then we get a serious pulse of swell that'll clean up nicely, and then it gets too big and messy for most of us. The big standout is that Saturday afternoon, August 1st.

Right out of the gate on Thursday, July 30th, it's a write-off. You’ve got a 6 ft SW swell bumping in, but the cross-onshore wind and that "marginal" tag mean it’s just choppy and messy. Not worth suiting up for.

Friday, July 31st, forget it. The swell jumps to 12 ft to 13 ft, but it's getting hammered by fresh onshore and cross-shore winds with rain. The energy is high, but it’s total slop. Stay on land.

Now, here's where it gets good. Saturday, August 1st. The morning is still big at 12 ft, but the cross-offshore wind from the south cleans it up, giving you a 6/10 day. But the real gem is Saturday afternoon. The swell holds at 15 ft from the SW (which matches the optimum direction for Conto), but the wind swings to a light offshore breeze from the southeast. That's the ticket. We're talking clean, powerful lines. This is the excellent, glassy window for expert surfers only – this swell is well over 8 ft, so it's not for beginners. The water temp is about average for this time of year.

Sunday, August 2nd, the swell backs down to 8 ft to 10 ft, but the wind is onshore or cross-shore, making it a marginal call with a lower score.

Monday, August 3rd, we get a nice clean-up. The swell is a manageable 7 ft to 8 ft with a good 15 to 16 second period, and the wind is light offshore from the ESE or SSE. That's a proper wave for experienced surfers. The current is clean, and it's a great chance to get some long lines.

Tuesday, August 4th, we're back into big territory. The swell jumps to 13 ft with a 17-second period, and the energy is through the roof. The morning has light offshore winds and clean conditions. This is another only-for-experts day.

Wednesday, August 5th keeps the 13 ft SW swell running with light cross-offshore winds. It stays clean and excellent for experts.

Thursday, August 6th, the wind shifts onshore again in the morning, but it’s light, so still surfable for the brave. The afternoon gets messy with a moderate onshore breeze.

Friday, August 7th through Sunday, August 9th is a stormy mess. We’ve got fresh to strong onshore winds, rain, and the swell is still big but completely chopped up. The energy is high, but the quality is zero.

Monday, August 10th, the wind is howling cross-shore, with an 18 ft lumpy swell. This setup looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

Tuesday, August 11th and Wednesday, August 12th, the forecast is saying the swell is predicted to be too big for this break. We're talking 18 ft to 23 ft at 18 to 19 seconds. The waves will be monstrous. Even with clean offshore wind, it's just too much for Conto. Don't even think about it unless you're a tow-in pro.

Thursday, August 13th brings an 18 ft WSW swell with a strong cross-onshore wind. Choppy and dangerous.

Finally, on Friday, August 14th, the swell drops to 12 ft, but the wind is cross-shore. It's a marginal day to end the run.

So to wrap it up: hold out for that Saturday afternoon, August 1st. It's your golden ticket for a big, clean, powerful session. Monday, August 3rd is your best bet for a slightly smaller, still excellent day. Everything after the first week is either too big, too windy, or both.

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.
