The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Constantine Bay over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’m looking at a pretty grim run here. The first week and a half is mostly a write-off. From Friday the 24th right through to the morning of Sunday the 2nd of August, the conditions are just poor. We’ve got weak, short-period swell and the wind is either cross, cross-on, or onshore, so it’s all chop and closeouts. The combined energy is tiny, barely cracking 100 for most of that time, and the wave state comments are all “poor surf conditions.” It’s a long, flat spell.
There is a glimmer of something on the afternoon of Friday the 31st of July. The swell jumps to 6 ft from the west with a period of 11 seconds, and the combined energy shoots up to 658. That’s moderate energy, and the longer period suggests some proper shape. But the wind is onshore from the west at 9 mph, and the forecast is only “marginal.” The swell is solid, but the wind will be crumbling it.
Then the real beast shows up for Sunday the 2nd of August. We’re looking at a 10 ft swell from the west, 11-second period, and combined energy of 1736 to 2126. That’s strong wave energy, no doubt. But this is a beach and reef setup, and with a west swell that size, it’s going to be a washing machine. The wind is onshore from the west-southwest at 12 mph, and with the power behind it, this is far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It’s a big, powerful, messy day for experts only.
Honestly, the standout, if you can call it that, is that Friday afternoon the 31st. The rest of the run is flat, messy, or too big and blown out. There’s nothing consistent here.

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.
