The Lowdown
Alright mate, Rusty here. To be brutally honest, the next week and a half is a bit of a write-off for decent waves. The wind is a real pain – mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and often pretty strong, which is going to chop everything up. You’re looking at a whole lot of messy, lumpy conditions from Monday the 7th through to around the 14th. The swell is there, but the quality just isn’t. There’s some decent energy in the water around the 9th and again on the 13th, with combined energy readings of 364 and 349 (moderate), but the cross-onshore wind will ruin the shape. It’s a classic case of plenty of water moving but nowhere clean to ride it. If you’re into kites, this onshore blow might get you interested, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a frustrating wait.
There is a light at the end of the tunnel, though. A long way off, but it’s on the horizon. The only real standout is looking at Sunday the 20th of September. That morning, we’re looking at clean, glassy surf. The wind will be light and cross-offshore from the SE, keeping things tidy. Swell is showing a solid 6ft from the W, with a nice 12-second period giving it some proper grunt. The combined energy hits a healthy 864 (moderate-to-strong), so there’ll be plenty of push. It’s a long way out, so don’t bank on it just yet, but it’s the one to watch. The water temperature is about a touch warmer than normal at 65°F, which is always nice.
Before that, the morning of Wednesday the 16th offers a brief flicker of hope. Early doors, a light NNE breeze will create a cross-offshore flow and clean conditions on a 4ft W swell with an 11-second period (combined energy 338). It’s a small window, so you’d have to be on it early. The Thursday the 17th through Saturday the 19th all get a clean look from the ESE wind, but the swell periods are a bit short and the energy is on the lower side, so it’ll be a bit weak and crumbly. Not worth rushing out for.
So, the long and short of it: a bleak start, but Sunday the 20th is the one to circle on the calendar. It's a classic story of wait out the rubbish for a couple of gems. A very consistent break like Constantine Bay usually comes good eventually.
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.
