The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Constantine Bay has been cooking up for us.
Alright mate, so for the next couple of weeks, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got a lot of days with some swell, but the wind is going to be the main character here, and not in a good way. It’s mostly cross-onshore, making things lumpy and messy. There are a couple of windows where things clean up, and one standout that’s worth marking on your calendar if you can wait.
Thursday the 10th is a write-off. The wind is pumping from the SSW at 30 km/h, and the 3 ft swell is a weak, short-period thing. It’s just not worth paddling out into that cross-chop.
Friday the 11th is the only real highlight early on. The morning shows a clean, clear sky. Wind eases right off to a light NW breeze at just 6 mph. It’s cross-onshore, but that light breeze should only put a few ripples on the face. The swell is a solid 5 ft out of the W with a 9-second period. It’s labelled as marginal, so tides will be key, but that’s your best bet for a surf if you can get the tide right. That afternoon stays clean with offshore WNW wind, but the swell drops to 4 ft.
From Saturday the 12th right through to Saturday the 19th of September, it’s pretty grim. The wind stays up, mostly moderate to fresh cross-onshore, and the swell just gets chopped into a mess.
Now, Sunday the 20th of September is the real standout. It’s still 10 days out, so take it with a pinch of salt, but the numbers are nuts. We’re looking at a 10 ft swell from the NW in the morning, shifting to WNW in the afternoon with a massive 1101 units of wave energy. That is pumping. The wind goes light cross-shore from the N, which is a huge win for this spot. Expect crowds to be possible because it’s a very consistent break.
From there, the second week drags on with more messy, onshore winds breaking up the swell, even when the size is there.
So, in short, get on it Friday the 11th morning if you can, and keep an eye on the 20th of September.
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.
