The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the surf is looking pretty flat and disappointing for the next week and a half. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak waves and poor conditions. The only real glimmer of hope comes a week from Monday, on the 27th of July.
For the first few days, from Tuesday the 21st right through to the end of July, the swell is teeny tiny, mostly under 3 ft, and the combined energy is weak, barely cracking 70 (66) at its best. Winds are mostly cross or cross-shore, which keeps things messy. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 64°, but that’s not much comfort when you’re staring at small, choppy slop. Tuesday the 21st, Wednesday the 22nd, and Thursday the 23rd are all a write-off for any decent surfing.
Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th are even smaller, with swell dropping to 1.0 ft and 0.3 ft. Sunday the 26th sees a bump in size to 5 ft (181), but it’s coming with a strong onshore wind from the NNW at 22 mph, smashing the place up. That’s more of a kite-surfing day than a clean paddle surf session. The next few days after that, from the 28th of July into the first week of August, the swell stays tiny, around 1.0 ft to 2 ft, with no real energy.
Now, the one standout – and I mean the *only* one – is Monday morning, the 27th of July. Constantine Bay will be showing us a bit of life. We’ve got a 3 ft swell from the west, with a 8-second period, and the combined energy jumps to a moderate 203. The real kicker is the wind: a light NNE breeze at 9 mph, blowing cross-offshore. That’ll keep the faces clean. The forecast is actually calling for “good surf conditions” here. It’s a very consistent spot, exposed to the west, and the swell direction matches that optimum west swell. The water is still a touch warmer than normal, but for this one morning, you’ll get some clean, rideable waves. It’s an intermediate-level break, so it’s not for beginners, but it’s not too big.
After that, the outlook returns to flat and poor for the rest of the 16-day window. It’s a blank run, but for this area, that’s not totally unusual. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but for now, mark your calendar for the morning of the 27th if you want to get wet.
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.
