The Lowdown

Alright mate, let’s be straight with you – this is a tough run for Constantine Bay. For the whole 16-day window, there's just no proper swell on the cards. We're looking at a long, quiet stretch. The first real chance of a surf comes on Wednesday morning, August 12th, but it’s hardly something to write home about. The swell is only 3 ft to 3 ft from the west, with the combined swell energy sitting at a weak 126 to 136. That’s small, but what makes it worth a mention is the wind. Wednesday afternoon goes glassy with a slight air from the north, so if you’re desperate for a splash, that’s your window. The water’s running at 66°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year – a small comfort.
That’s basically the only half-decent moment. The rest of the period is a mix of onshore winds, cross-chop, and very weak energy readings. Even when the swell height bumps up to 5 ft on Friday, August 21st, the wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-shore, and the energy is moderate but messy. The conditions are just poor for paddle surfing. Honestly, for a spot that’s very consistent, a blank run like this feels unusual – but the forecasts can change, so don’t lose hope entirely.
Stay patient, wait for the next westerly groundswell with clean winds. This one’s a write-off. 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.
