The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the outlook for Constantine Bay.

To be straight with you, this is a tough one. Looking at the whole 16-day run, there’s really not a single moment where everything lines up for a proper paddle. The wave heights come and go, but the wind and conditions just don’t play ball. Right off the bat, we’ve got a gap with no real recommendations. From now, the first sniff of surf is on Saturday morning, the 5th of September. There’s some size there – 5ft from the WNW with a period of 11 seconds, and the combined swell energy is moderate (485). But that cross-on wind from the WNW at 6 mph puts a bit of a chop on it, and it’s flagged as marginal. Not worth getting excited about.

The wind really turns sour from Sunday the 6th onward. We get a solid pulse on Monday the 7th – 8ft from the W with a 13-second period. That’s a proper long-period groundswell and the combined energy is strong (1783), but the wind is howling onshore from the W at 16 mph. It’s just going to be a messy, blown-out wall. That continues through most of the first week: onshore winds, fresh breezes, and rain showers. Even when the swell drops to 2ft on Sunday the 13th, we finally get a clean offshore wind from the E at 16 mph. But by then the swell is tiny – only 2ft – and combined energy is weak (104). You’d be scratching for scraps.

There’s one moment that stands out as the best of a bad bunch, and I mean that in the most relative sense. On Sunday morning, the 13th of September, we finally see that offshore wind from the east. The swell is small at 2ft from the west, but it’s clean. With that offshore flow, Constantine Bay’s beach-and-reef setup might actually hold a few lined-up waves for an intermediate surfer. The combined energy is still weak (104), but for a morning session with a clean surface, it’s the only real window. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, but on a day like this, most will stay home.

After that, the second week is a write-off. Tiny swell – 1ft or less – and mostly cross-shore or onshore winds. Even a glassy period on Saturday the 19th won’t help because there’s no wave energy to speak of. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer willing to pump across the onshore wind.

Stay patient. A blank run like this is unusual for the area, but forecasts can change. Keep an eye on it.

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.
