Constantine Bay Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what's coming down the pipe for Constantine Bay.

Honestly, it's a bit of a rough stretch ahead. We're looking at a solid 16-day window, but there's a big gap of poor surf conditions right at the start. No good waves to speak of from late August all the way through to early September. The winds are mostly cross-on or onshore and the seas are just messy. Not worth paddling out for anyone.

Now, the water temp at Constantine Bay is sitting at about 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s one silver lining if you decide to just go for a swim. But for surfing? You’ll be battling a fresh breeze and lumpy, choppy lines for days.

The first real chance of anything surfable pops up on Saturday the 5th of September in the morning. It’s not great to be honest – a 4ft west swell, period of 9 seconds, weak energy (221). A light cross-shore breeze keeps it a bit cleaner, but it’s only given a 1 out of 10. It’s small and marginal, more of a last resort if you’re desperate.

There’s a slight improvement on Sunday the 6th of September in the morning. A smaller swell at 2ft from the west with a 9-second period, but the wind finally turns moderate offshore from the ENE. That’ll clean things up nicely. The energy is weak (83), but it's surfable. It’s the cleanest we get all week, but still only a 1 out of 10 due to the tiny size.

After that, the window closes again. Another poor run of onshore winds and lumpy conditions through to the end of the forecast. We see a couple of pulses of swell, like a 7ft on Monday the 7th, but the onshore wind will just chop it to pieces. A bit of a bummer.

The standout – and I use that term loosely here – is that Sunday the 6th morning window. It’s the only time it looks clean, but you’ll need a longboard or a funboard. The swell is tiny.

Rusty, signing off.
