The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down Constantine Bay for the next couple weeks.
Honestly, it's a grim outlook for Constantine Bay. The first week and a half is mostly a washout. The wind is blowing cross-onshore and often straight onshore, just ruining any chance of decent surf. We kick off Friday the 28th with small 3ft to 5ft windswell and weak energy (74-138). It's lumpy and messy straight away, and it doesn't improve much.
Saturday the 29th sees a little more size, with the swell hitting 5ft in the morning (248 energy) and then a big 12ft by the afternoon (1872 energy), but that's accompanied by a 28 mph onshore wind. Forget about it – it's a blown-out mess. Sunday the 30th through Tuesday the 1st of September is just a run of cross-onshore slop, with waves between 3ft and 7ft. There's a brief chance on Monday the 31st afternoon with glassy wind, but the 7ft swell is coming straight onshore and the report says "unknown" quality – not worth the drive.
Things calm down wind-wise from the 6th of September. On Sunday the 6th, we finally see some clean conditions with cross-offshore wind, but the swell is tiny – only 3ft to 4ft and weak energy (137-153). Not worth paddling out for. The clean conditions stick around Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th, but by then the swell has completely died, dropping to a pathetic 1ft on Tuesday afternoon. That's the low point.
After that, the wind turns foul again. Wednesday the 9th through to the end of the forecast on the 12th of September is more of the same: fresh to near-gale cross-onshore winds and blown-out surf. A couple of days with swell over 8ft on the 9th and 10th, but the wind is screaming at 31-37 mph, making it a full-on kite session rather than a paddle.
There's no standout here. The only half-decent day is Tuesday morning the 8th of September. The swell is only 2ft, but it’s clean with light offshore winds from the NE. The energy is a weak 54, and it's surfable but very ordinary. If you're desperate for a waist-high slide with no crowd, that's your window. Otherwise, I'd be looking at other plans for the next two weeks.
Rusty.

Information about the Constantine Bay Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Constantine Bay provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Constantine Bay can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Constantine Bay 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 (Constantine Bay) 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 Constantine Bay 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.
