The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Conto Springs.
We’ve got a solid run of surf coming up, but the start is a bit of a write-off. Monday the 20th is a no-go: that cross-onshore wind is making a mess of a 8ft SW swell, so don’t even bother. It’s a write-off.
Things get interesting on Tuesday the 21st. The wind swings to a light cross-offshore from the south, and we’ve got a clean 8ft SW swell rolling in – that’s a proper groundswell with a 14-second period. The water temp is sitting at 67°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The energy is pumping in at 2633 (moderate to strong). Tuesday afternoon is the standout for the intermediate crew: clean, punchy waves, and the crowd is only *sometimes* an issue.
Now, if you’re an expert, Wednesday the 22nd is your day. We’re talking an 12ft SW swell with a very long 16-second period, light offshore winds, and the energy is massive at 6128 (very strong). This is a reef break, so that long period will wrap in beautifully. Expect it to be a bit big for the average punter, but for the experienced, it’s exceptional. The morning looks best, but the afternoon is also clean with a gentle offshore.
Thursday the 23rd holds up well with an 8ft SW swell and glassy conditions in the afternoon – that’s rare and beautiful. The energy is still solid at 1668 (moderate). A great day for a solid session.
After that, the surf drops off. Friday the 24th through Sunday the 27th gets messy with onshore wind and dropping swell. There’s a window on Sunday the 26th afternoon where the wind turns offshore and the swell jumps to 18ft, but the energy is a massive 9090 (very strong). That’s experts-only, and the tide or wind might make it tricky. It’s a margin call.
The following week is hit and miss. Monday the 28th and Tuesday the 29th of July offer clean 10ft to 12ft swells with offshore winds, but there’s a big storm on the horizon. From Wednesday the 30th of July onward, it’s mostly washed out with strong winds and lumpy conditions. The only bright spot is Sunday the 2nd of August, where we get a glassy 4ft SW swell – small, but clean for a fun little session.
The best of the whole run? Wednesday the 22nd of July, no question. That 12ft, 16-second SW groundswell with light offshore wind is the pick. Just be ready for a powerful, expert-only wave.
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.
