Table - best surf conditions forecast for Constantine Bay over the next 16 days.
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's see what Constantine Bay is cooking up over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, it's a bit of a bummer. The first week and a half is looking pretty flat and lackluster. We've got a run from Saturday the 11th all the way through to Thursday the 24th of July with nothing really worth getting wet for. A few small, weak pulses come through, but the wind is mostly messy or the swell is just too tiny. The water is sitting at about 64°, which is *much warmer* than we'd expect for this time of year, so that's a nice little bonus if you fancy a paddle, but the waves themselves are a no-go.
The real story, and the only thing that's got me even a little excited, is the big pulse arriving on Friday the 24th. That morning, we see a solid 7ft groundswell from the west, with a moderate wave energy (408). The wind is light and cross-onshore, leaving a few ripples on the surface. It's a bit raw. That afternoon, though, it really comes alive. The swell jumps to a powerful 12ft from the west, with a period of 9 seconds, and the energy spikes to 1960. That's a lot of water moving around. The wind swings to a gentle cross-shore, keeping things relatively clean. This is expert territory now, and with Constantine Bay being a beach and reef setup, that long period means it's going to be bowling and powerful. It's not for the faint of heart, but for the experienced crew, this is the standout. The crowds are only *sometimes* an issue, but on a day like this, you can bet a few will be out.
The cleanest window of the whole run might actually be the following Sunday, the 26th of July. We get a backs-off 4ft west swell, with a moderate energy (250) and *glassy* conditions. That's a rare treat. The wind is dead calm, and the wave size is much more manageable. It won't be the biggest, but it'll be the most perfect. If you've got a longboard or a fish, that's your session.
So, to sum it up: there's a long, dry spell of small, weak surf until the 24th. The only real action is that big, powerful swell on the 24th and 25th, which is for experts only. If you want something clean and cruisy, hold out for the 26th.
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.
Constantine Bay is 7 km (4 miles) from Padstow. If you plan a holiday in North Cornwall, look for hotels and other accommodation in Padstow. Padstow has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
