The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Constantine Bay.
Straight up, it’s a rough stretch ahead. We’re looking at an 11-day gap with no proper surf on offer. The first real chance to get wet doesn’t come until Thursday, August 3rd, and even then, it’s nothing to write home about.
For that Thursday morning, we’ve got a tiny 2ft swell rolling in from the W. The period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s gonna be weak and a bit gutless. The wind is light ENE, coming cross-off, which will keep the surface clean. The combined energy is a measly 59, so it’s weak. It’s a glassy, clean morning, but the waves will be small and weak. It’s a knee-high dribbler for the die-hards.
The following Friday morning, August 7th, we get a small bump in energy. Swell is 3ft from the N with a 6 second period. The wind swings ESE at 15 mph, blowing offshore. That’s a clean look, but the swell is still tiny and short-period. The energy is only 79, so still weak. The offshore wind will make it look pretty, but it’s a tough paddle for a waist-high wave at best.
Overall, the best of a poor bunch is that Thursday, August 3rd. It’s clean, but don’t expect any power. For the rest of the window, wind is onshore, choppy, or the swell is too small to bother with. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
Stay patient, and keep an eye on the longer-range charts. The surf will come back.
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.
