The Lowdown
Alright, folks. Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s on the cards for Constantine Bay.
Straight off the bat, I’ve got to be honest with you: this 16-day window is a tough one for Constantine Bay. It’s a very consistent spot, exposed to a good W swell, but the wind gods are just not playing ball for most of it. The water’s sitting at a mild 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so the wetsuit might be a bit more forgiving.
We start off this Sunday morning, August 2nd, with a tiny 2ft of W swell and a weak energy of just 35. The wind is a light SE cross-off, so it’s clean, but there’s just no power in the water. It’s a flat, poor surf call. That pattern pretty much holds through Monday and Tuesday, with small, onshore-affected waves. By Tuesday afternoon, the wind is howling from the SW at 22 mph, turning a 4ft swell into a lumpy mess.
Then Wednesday, August 5th, brings a bit more size—7ft of W swell with moderate energy (448)—but it’s a full-on onshore gale. That’s blown-out and messy. There’s a gap of a few days here with nothing but poor surf, so don’t bother checking until the weekend.
Now, Saturday, August 8th, is the first real standout of the run. We’ve got a 6ft swell from the W, with moderate energy (380). The wind is a light WNW cross-off, which will keep things clean. It’s a marginal call, tide-dependent, but with that much swell and a clean wind, it’s the best chance you’ll get in the first week. Get on it if you can.
The following week looks a bit of a write-off, with small, onshore slop through to the 13th. We then get a promising pulse on Friday, August 14th, with a 6ft W swell and moderate energy (386), pairing with a light N cross-off wind. That’ll be clean and fun, but it’s still a marginal call. The last real hope is on Sunday, August 16th, where we see a 7ft to 8ft W swell with strong energy (628-762), but it’s coming with a stiff cross-on wind. That’s big and powerful, but it’s going to be a choppy, difficult session for anyone but the experts.
So, to sum it up: the best on offer is Saturday, August 8th, for the cleanest conditions, and maybe Friday, August 14th, for a cleaner, smaller option. The rest is a waiting game. Stay tuned.
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.
