Constantine Bay Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s break down what’s cooking for Constantine Bay over the next couple of weeks. There’s a bit of a slow start, but we do get some proper sessions later on.

The beginning, from the 16th to the 19th, is a total bust. There’s plenty of size, with swells running from 6 ft to 7 ft, but the wind is a nightmare – onshore and howling up to 22 mph from the west and northwest. It’s just tearing the waves apart. Don’t bother. The water temp is around 59°F, which is pretty standard for now.

We get our first real chance on Sunday the 20th in the morning. The wind goes glassy, a light 3 mph from the east-northeast. The swell drops to a clean 5 ft from the west, period 10 seconds. The energy is moderate (440). That glassy surface is going to make it feel like a totally different break. Good for an intermediate. The afternoon goes onshore again and fades out.

Monday the 21st is a tiny day, 3 ft of west swell. The morning is glassy again from the north-northeast, but it’s small stuff.

Tuesday the 22nd afternoon is a true standout. We’ve got a small 3 ft swell from the west-northwest, but the period is a gorgeous 17 seconds – that’s real groundswell. The wind is a light 3 mph cross-off from the northeast, so the surface will be perfect. The energy is moderate (669). For a clean wave with that much period, a reef setup like Constantine Bay will be working beautifully. This is a quality session for the patient surfer. Be aware, crowds can pop in here sometimes.

Wednesday the 23rd has some push again, 5 ft from the west-northwest with a 14-second period. But the wind is a stiff 19 mph cross-off from the southeast. It’ll be clean-ish but choppy from the breeze. A workable day, not a classic.

Then it goes quiet from the 24th to the morning of the 27th. Most days are under 3 ft, with light or messy wind. It’s a dead spell for nearly four days.

The second week brings the real reward. The morning of Sunday the 27th has a small, clean option with 3 ft from the west and a glassy cross-off. Nice. But the main event is Wednesday the 30th. The morning is firing: a solid 8 ft swell from the west, period 10 seconds, with a gentle 9 mph offshore wind from the east. Clean, powerful, and very surfable. The wave energy is strong (963). This one’s for the experienced crew – 8 ft is serious juice and needs respect. Mark that date. The afternoon of the 30th also looks excellent with a 6 ft west-northwest swell and clean cross-off conditions.

So, the best calls are Tuesday the 22nd afternoon for that long period, glassy perfection, and Wednesday the 30th for the big, clean, powerful swell. The rest is about picking the right wind window on the smaller days.
