The Lowdown

Alright, grab your board. Let’s see what’s cooking at Constantine Bay.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is looking pretty average for Constantine Bay. We’ve got a bit of a lull, and then a promising run of swell that gets blown out. It’s a frustrating pattern.

Our first real chance to get wet comes Saturday morning, September 5th. We’re looking at a 5ft west swell with an 11-second period, packing moderate energy (552). The water is sitting at 64°, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, which is a nice bonus. But, the wind is a light cross-on from the northwest, creating small wind ripples. It’s surfable, but marginal.

The real standout window is looking like Thursday afternoon, September 10th. After a long stretch of nothing, the wind is forecast to go glassy, and the swell is 5ft from the WSW with a 7-second period and moderate energy (216). The “glassy” call is a major positive – that’s the cleanest condition this spot will see in the entire 16-day window. It’s the one to circle on the calendar. The swell is a little short period, but when it’s that clean, you don’t care.

That surfable window is short-lived. Friday morning, September 11th, a fresh cross-on from the northwest at 19 mph turns the 6ft west swell into a lumpy mess. The energy jumps up to moderate (524), but the wind just ruins it. The 7ft swell on Monday the 7th was big, but the onshore winds made it unsurfable.

After that, from the 12th clear through to the 20th, we’re in a long dry spell. The swell drops off, the wind is never quite right, and the conditions are consistently poor. You’ll see a few days with light cross-off or cross-shore breezes, but the swell is too small—under 3 feet—to get excited about. There’s a gap of about 8 days with no real recommendations.

For a second, the morning of Wednesday, September 16th, had surfable waves but very ordinary conditions, with a 3ft WNW swell. It’s a tease.

The best bet? If you’re jonesing for a paddle, wait for that glassy window on Thursday, September 10th. It’s the only real clean surf in the whole two weeks.

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.
