The Lowdown
Right, let’s put that in feet and Fahrenheit. Same story, just different numbers.
The next couple of weeks here are going to test your patience. We’ve got a lot of messy wind to start, but there’s a proper prize waiting if you can wait it out. Water’s about normal for the season.
From Monday the 14th all the way through Monday the 21st, Constantine Bay is looking rough. There’s a consistent Westerly groundswell running, 3ft to 7ft, but the cross-onshore and onshore winds are just tearing it up – choppy, lumpy, poor conditions all around. The swell energy is moderate to strong, hitting a high around 1014 on Friday the 18th afternoon, but it’s wasted.
Tuesday the 22nd brings the first real hope. Morning is still marginal with a light cross-shore, but by the afternoon the wind goes cross-offshore from the NNE at 12 mph, cleaning up a solid 7ft West-Northwest swell with an 11-second period. Strong energy at 931. That afternoon is your first decent session.
Wednesday the 23rd morning is the next standout. It goes glassy – dead calm wind – with a 4ft Westerly swell, 10-second period. It’ll be smooth and clean, moderate energy at 286. Perfect for the intermediate crew. The afternoon gets a little bumpy.
Thursday the 24th is a classic case of quality over quantity. Morning is small at 2ft but clean with a light offshore E wind. Then the afternoon brings a very long-period groundswell – an 18-second period from the WNW, also around 2ft. The energy is strong at 340, and with a light cross-offshore breeze it’ll be clean but that long period might make it a bit walled up at the beach. Best for the points and reefs.
Friday the 25th offers size again – a clean 5ft WNW groundswell with a 14-second period in the morning, cross-offshore breeze at 16 mph. Very strong energy at 900. Good for the experienced crew, but the wind is stiff.
The big one is Sunday the 27th. We’ve got a big pulse of Westerly swell: 12ft in the morning and 10ft in the afternoon, 11-second period. The energy is massive – 2501 and 2360. The wind stays light cross-offshore from the SSE, keeping it clean. This is experts only – anything over 8ft is serious water. Sunday afternoon is the highlight of the whole outlook. It’s a week and a half out, so don’t bank on it yet, but it’s the one to watch.
Monday the 28th and Tuesday the 29th look to go downhill again with rain and cross-on winds moving in. That Sunday window is where you want to be.

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.
