The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Constantine Bay has in store for us. Honestly, it’s a bit of a tough stretch ahead. The whole 16-day run is looking pretty ordinary, with no real standout sessions to get excited about.

We kick off on Monday the 20th with nothing doing. A tiny 2ft swell from the north, weak energy (35), and a 5-second period. The wind is glassy in the morning, but the surf is just too poor. The afternoon gets worse with a strong cross-shore.

Tuesday the 21st offers a slight glimmer. A clean morning with a 3ft NNW swell, a 5-second period, and a light offshore wind. The energy is still weak (78), but it’s surfable. It’s just very ordinary. The afternoon turns messy again.

The rest of the first week and into the second is a write-off. Wednesday the 22nd has some size – 4ft – but it’s blown out by a fresh breeze. Thursday the 23rd has another glassy morning with 3ft, but again, it’s just not enough push. From there, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is small and weak.

By the end of the first week and into the second, we see a pulse of bigger swell. On Sunday the 26th, the swell hits 7ft with combined energy up to 439 – that’s moderate to strong energy. But the wind is a fresh cross-onshore, so it’s going to be a lumpy, messy close-out. This is expert-only territory due to the size, and the onshore wind will make it a battle. Honestly, with that setup, it might be more interesting for the kite surfers than paddle surfers.

The following week, from the 28th of July into the first few days of August, the pattern stays the same: small to moderate swells, but almost always with onshore or cross-onshore winds. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.

So, there’s no real standout here. The best you can hope for is a glassy morning with a tiny wave, but the energy is never there. It’s a long stretch of poor conditions. Sometimes it goes like this.

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.
