The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Grab a cuppa, let’s talk about Constantine Bay.
Right off the bat, I’ve got to be straight with you. The first few days are a write-off. We’re looking at a solid week of cross-onshore winds and lumpy, choppy conditions that are just not worth paddling out for. The swell is there, but the wind has it all messed up. We’ve got a 7 ft WNW swell on Tuesday the 8th, but with a fresh 22 mph cross-onshore wind, it’s just a mess. The water's a touch warmer than normal at 65°F (a bit over a degree above average for this time of year), but that’s the only positive. The combined wave energy is moderate (677), but it’s all for nothing.
The real glimmer of hope comes on Tuesday the 15th. The morning looks clean with a light cross-offshore breeze from the SE. The swell drops to 3 ft from the west with a nice 11-second period, so it’s a proper groundswell. The energy is moderate (227), but that clean face will make it surfable. It’s a small window, but it’s the best we’ve got coming. The Saturday morning of the 19th is also a proper standout. We’re looking at glassy conditions, dead calm, with a 3 ft W-NW swell and a 10-second period. It will be small, but glassy as a mirror. That’s a morning for a longboard and a smile.
After that, things get a bit more ordinary again. The wind swings offshore or cross-off a few times, offering some clean windows, but the swell is small and weak. The last couple of days of the forecast show a 14-second period groundswell arriving on the 23rd, but it’s met with onshore winds, so it’s another one to watch with a bit of hope, but not much else.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a bust. The best bet is the morning of the 15th for a clean, small session, and if you’re keen on a glassy morning, the 19th is your ticket. Everything else is a fight with the wind.
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.
