Alright, let me break down Constantine Bay for you. The first week and a half is pretty flat and messy, so don’t rush to wax up just yet.
From Thursday afternoon (July 2nd) right through until about Tuesday morning (July 14th), it’s a long quiet spell. The swell is small, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore, and the wave quality is just poor. The first session we see at 1.8m (6ft) from the WNW at 9 seconds, but the cross wind at 20 km/h (12 mph) makes a mess of it. The water is 17°C (62°F), a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
There’s a long dry gap here. From July 2nd all the way to July 13th, almost nothing worth paddling out for. A few days like July 8th and 9th have clean, light offshore winds – on the 9th afternoon you get an offshore east wind at 15 km/h (9 mph) – but the swell is tiny, only 0.7m (2ft). The combined swell energy is weak, often under 100 (like 63 on the 8th, 99 on the 9th). It's surfable but very ordinary.
Now, the real standout comes Tuesday morning, July 14th. That’s your session. The swell is 1.2m (4ft) from the west with an 11-second period – proper groundswell with shape. The combined energy hits 375 (moderate). And the wind goes glassy – dead calm from the west at just 5 km/h (3 mph). That means clean, glassy conditions. Constantine Bay (England) is a beach-and-reef setup exposed to west swell, so when the wind is calm or offshore, it can really hold shape. It’s a consistently breaking spot and can get busy, so expect some locals out there. This is the one to plan for.
After that, the swell fades again. The 15th morning is clean with cross-offshore ESE wind at 15 km/h (9 mph) but the swell is only 0.8m (3ft). The 16th morning has offshore east wind with 0.9m (3ft) west swell at 8 seconds – surfable but nothing special. The 17th gets onshore again and it’s over.
Bottom line: the first 10 days are a bust. The real chance is Tuesday July 14th morning – glassy, waist-to-chest high west swell with decent period. That’s your best bet. Hang tight.

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.
