The Lowdown
Well, folks, let me tell ya, it’s a tough stretch ahead for Constantine Bay. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with no real surf to speak of. The first week and a half is pretty much a write-off—poor conditions, onshore winds, and weak swell. There’s a glimmer of something more promising in the second week, but it’s a long way off and not a sure thing. Let’s break it down.
The first decent chance for a paddle comes around Sunday, August 9th, in the morning. We’ve got a small 1ft swell from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds, but the wind is a light cross-offshore from the NNE, leaving the surface clean. The combined energy is weak (43), so don’t expect much push. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. Still, you might snag a few if you’re desperate.
Then Monday, August 10th, morning brings a glassy start with a 2ft swell from the W and a light SSE breeze. The combined energy is still weak (40), but that glassy surface is a rare treat. Not a standout by any means, but if you’re jonesing for a session, this is the best of a bad bunch early on. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The real standout, if you can call it that, pops up on Wednesday, August 12th, in the morning. We’ve got a 5ft swell from the N with a period of 6 seconds, giving a moderate combined energy of 182. The wind is offshore from the ESE, so the waves will be clean. Now, that 5ft is right at the edge for beginners—it’s a bit much for a learner, but for an intermediate, it could be fun. The period is short, so it’ll be a bit crumbly and not super powerful. It’s the pick of the entire forecast, but it’s over a week away, so don’t bank on it.
From there, it’s back to small, choppy, and onshore conditions through the rest of the period. Some long-period swell shows up on the 17th and 18th, but it’s tiny—0.3ft—and frankly, not worth the drive. The combined energy is ridiculously low (6 to 14), and the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s a bust.
So, bottom line: if you’ve got to surf, aim for the morning of August 12th. It’s not pumping, but it’s the only window with a pulse and clean wind. Otherwise, the whole 16 days is a frustrating wait. Hang in there, folks—forecasts can change, and it’s been known to turn around quick.

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.
