Alright folks, let’s get into it.
For Constantine Bay over the next couple of weeks, the surf is pretty skinny for the first week. Sunday morning the 5th through that whole stretch, we’ve got small, weak swell running 2 to 3 feet from the west or west-northwest, with periods around 8-9 seconds. The winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, making a mess of things. The water temp is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, running around 63°F. Unfortunately, that’s about all the excitement.
The only real highlight pops up on Sunday the 12th of July. Both the morning and afternoon sessions are looking good. The morning gives you a clean 6 foot swell out of the north with a light cross-offshore breeze. The afternoon gets even better: 5 feet from the north-northwest, glassy conditions with a whisper of west-northwest wind. The wave energy is moderate on both sessions, so there’s enough grunt to have fun on a consistent beach and reef break. It may be a little busy, but it’s the best you’ll get.
After that, the surf drops off fast. Monday the 13th barely has anything – tiny leftovers with long periods. The rest of the week is small and choppy. By the weekend of the 19th and into the 20th, the swell tries to push back up to 5 to 7 feet from the west, but the wind is strong and onshore, turning it into a lumpy mess. That kind of energy is better for kite boards than paddles.
So, bottom line: your one good call in this 16-day window is Sunday the 12th. Everything else is mostly flat or blown out. Keep your fingers crossed for a change, but for now, plan on that Sunday.
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.
