Table - best surf conditions forecast for Constantine Bay over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here, talking surf at Constantine Bay over the next 16 days.
Let’s be real – this is a tough stretch. The first week is mostly flat, small, and chopped up. The first hint of something rideable shows up on Friday morning, July 10th, but it’s ordinary. You’ll be waiting through a lot of weak, grovelly conditions before anything with a pulse shows up.
The only real standout is way out there on the 24th of July. That Friday morning brings a pulse of WNW swell hitting 6 ft. The combined energy pops to 242 (moderate), which is a big deal compared to the dusty numbers we’ve been seeing. The catch is the wind is light cross-onshore from the WNW, so it’ll be a little wind-textured, not glassy. The period is short (6 seconds), so it’s a windswell, not a lined-up groundswell, but it’s a wave you can work with. This is the best of the bunch, but it’s a long way out, so don’t book your trip yet.
The rest of it:
The first few days are poor. Thursday the 9th is a washout with 3 ft swell and cross-shore winds. Friday the 10th morning is the first tiny window – 3 ft of WNW swell, clean from a light cross-offshore breeze (NNE, 10 km/h). It’s surfable, but just barely. That’s the theme through the weekend: small, weak, and needing a forgiving eye.
Sunday the 12th morning has clean conditions with a solid offshore from the E at 25 km/h, but the swell is tiny and weak (3 ft, 64 combined energy). It’s clean, but you’ll be hunting for scraps.
From July 14th onward, it’s basically flat – combined energy drops into the 20s and 50s, with tiny, weak, or onshore junk. The 14th has a clean moment with 0.7 ft swell, but that’s not surfable.
What it means:
This is a classic flat spell for Constantine Bay. The beach-and-reef setup is exposed, and we’re just not getting any love from the ocean. The 24th of July is the one to keep an eye on – if you’re an expert, that 6 ft WNW swell could be fun, but it’s short-period and wind-affected, so it’s not a classic. Beginners stay out of the water that day – it’s too big for you. For everyone else, it’s a waiting game.
Keep the faith, but don’t burn the gas money until that late July window gets closer.
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.
