Table - best surf conditions forecast for Constantine Bay over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s have a look at the next couple of weeks. I’ll be honest – it’s a rough start. A long stretch of tiny, weak surf with mostly ordinary conditions. The water is sitting at 64°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s one small comfort.
The first real chance of anything decent doesn’t show up until Wednesday, July 22nd. Before that, from Friday the 10th right through to Tuesday the 21st, it’s a real struggle. There are a few mornings with knee-high waves around 1ft to 3ft, but the wind is either cross-off or moderate offshore, and the swell energy is low (mostly under 100), so you’re looking at a lot of paddling for very little reward. Nothing worth getting excited about – a real flat spell.
Now, Wednesday, July 22nd is the one that stands out. Constantine Bay (Cornwall) wakes up with the first solid pulse of the whole forecast. Wednesday morning sees 6ft of west swell, though it’s a bit short-period at 7 seconds, with a moderate 342 combined energy. The wind is light and cross-off from the southeast, so it’s clean. But the standout is Wednesday afternoon: 5ft of west swell, period 8 seconds, combined energy of 339, and a light offshore breeze from the east-southeast. That’s glassy, clean, and the best surf we’ve seen in weeks. The size is manageable for most intermediates, and with the offshore wind, it’ll be lined up nicely. The swell direction is west, right on the optimum for this spot. Crowds are possible here – it’s a very consistent break, so expect company.
Thursday, July 23rd has a bit of size left – 4ft in the morning – but the wind turns onshore from the west by the afternoon, and the energy is still moderate (259). After that, the weekend of the 24th and 25th sees a bump in swell size, up to 5ft and 6ft, but the wind is cross-onshore from the southwest, and the combined energy climbs to 398 on Saturday afternoon. The waves will be there, but they’ll be lumpy and choppy. Not your best bet for a clean session.
So, the honest call: if you can wait, Wednesday, July 22nd afternoon is the clear winner. The rest of the 16 days is mostly small, weak, or windswept. Don’t sell your board, but don’t rush out either.

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.
