The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Constantine Bay has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, the first few days are a write-off. We’ve got strong cross-onshore winds and lumpy, choppy conditions on Thursday and Friday the 3rd and 4th, with swell around 5ft to 7ft but the wind just ruins it. Not worth paddling out.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Saturday the 5th. The morning brings a 5ft swell from the WNW with a period of 11 seconds, and the wind goes glassy – dead calm. The combined energy sits at a solid moderate level (476), and the afternoon stays glassy with a 4ft swell. That’s your best bet in the whole outlook. Clean, lined-up waves and no wind to mess them up. Keep in mind, though, that when the period is that long (11 seconds) at a beach and reef setup, the waves can sometimes stand up a bit too quickly, but the light wind should keep them user-friendly for the intermediate crew.
The rest of the week goes downhill fast. Sunday the 6th drops to tiny 2ft, and by Monday the 7th we’ve got a big 7ft swell from the W with a 12-second period (strong energy at 1347), but the wind is onshore and strong – that one’s only for the hardcore or the kite surfers. Tuesday the 8th pushes 10ft with fresh onshore winds; that’s exclusively for the experts, and honestly, it’s going to be a mess in those conditions. You’ll want to sit that one out.
We see a bit of a lull mid-week, with small, poor conditions through Wednesday and Thursday (9th and 10th). A bit of a blank run. Then the 14th of September (Monday) offers a small 3ft swell with an offshore wind from the ESE – light and clean. It’s only a 1/10 for quality, but it’s surfable. The next day, Tuesday the 15th of September, is actually another standout. Mornin’ session brings a 3ft W swell at 10 seconds with glassy conditions and combined energy of 261. It’s clean, it’s tidy, and it’s small but fun for a longboard.
By the 16th, we’re looking at small 4ft swell but from the north with a short 6-second period – pretty weak energy (154) and glassy wind, so it’s rideable but nothing to write home about. Things really fade out toward the 18th with tiny 1.0ft to 1ft waves and clean but empty conditions.
So, to wrap it up: Saturday the 5th is your absolute standout – glassy, clean, and a proper little WNW swell with enough push. Tuesday the 15th is the other sneaky good session, especially if you’ve got a log. The rest is mostly wind-slop or just too small. Keep an eye on the forecasts though – a spot this consistent can turn around quick.
Stay stoked,
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.
