The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it. I'm lookin' at Constantine Bay here, and honestly, it's a bit of a rough start. We've got a solid W/NW swell rolling in, around 7ft on Sunday morning, but that wind is howling from the NW at 22 mph, slapping it right onshore. It's messy out there. The water's a touch warmer than normal at 64°F, nothing crazy.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn't show up until Wednesday the 29th, but even then it's small. You're looking at a weak 2ft from the west. The wind goes light cross-offshore from the SSE though, so it might be the only session all week where you're not fighting a full-on onshore. Still, not what you'd call a standout.
It's a long stretch of not much. Thursday picks up a little in size, 4 to 5ft, but that onshore wind kills it. Friday and Saturday are small and wonky. Honestly, it's a pretty bleak run until the 2nd of August.
That Sunday morning, the 2nd of August, is your golden ticket. We've got a clean 4ft swell from the WSW, with a period of 9 seconds, and the wind goes completely glassy. Zero wind. For a beach-and-reef setup like Constantine, that's as good as it gets in this outlook. It won't be huge or powerful, but it'll be clean and fun. Keep your eyes on that morning window.
After that, it turns back to slop. The 7th of August brings a massive 12ft swell from the west, which is ferocious. But it's pinned by a 16 mph onshore wind. That's a beast for experts only, and with the wind, it's more of a washing machine than a wave for paddlers. Honestly, looks like kite-surfing weather for that one.
So, to sum it up: there's a lot of "no" in this forecast. The one true standout is that glassy Sunday morning on the 2nd of August.

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.
