The Lowdown
Alright, my fellow wave hunters, Rusty here. Let's talk about Constantine Bay and what's cookin' for the next 16 days.
Honestly, it starts ugly. We're looking at a solid week of onshore slop and choppy conditions. The first few days are a total bust. Don't even think about strapping on the leggie.
Thursday the 3rd and Friday the 4th are a mess of strong cross-onshore winds and lumpy waves. There's some size, up to 5ft on Friday, but with that wind, it's just a washing machine. The energy is there (707), but it's all wasted. Stay on the beach.
Saturday the 5th is a glimmer. The wind lightens up to a light onshore breeze, and we get a clean 5ft swell from the WNW with a nice 11-second period. The energy is solid (476), but it's only a "marginal" call, likely a tide issue. It's the first thing that's not a total write-off.
Sunday the 6th the swell drops right off to nothing, but the wind goes cross-offshore. The waves are just too small at 2ft.
Then the big stuff hits. Monday the 7th brings a serious 8ft groundswell with a very long 13-second period, and the energy is massive (1796). This is a powerful, heavy swell. But the wind is back on it, strong and cross-onshore, making it a lumpy, unpredictable mess. Only for the experts, and even then, it's a battle. This pattern of good size but poor wind drags on all the way to the 13th.
Then, the light at the end of the tunnel. After a long, frustrating run, we get a clean window. Monday the 14th of September, the wind swings to a light cross-offshore from the NNE, and we get a clean 5ft westerly swell with a 10-second period. The energy is moderate (347), and the word is "good." This is your first real chance.
But the absolute standout is Tuesday the 15th of September. The morning is flat-out perfect. Glassy conditions, a clean 4ft westerly swell with a 9-second period. The wind is a whisper from the ENE, and the report says "good." The energy is moderate (285), but with glass like that, Constantine Bay is going to be a picture. The crowds are "sometimes," so you might see a few heads, but on a Tuesday in September, you've got a real good chance at a session to remember.
Wednesday the 16th of September is also worth a look. Morning glass again with a 3ft swell. Smaller, but ideal for a log or a fish.
After that, the onshore wind returns and the swell fades. So here's the plan: surf the couch for the first week, then sharpen your fins for Monday the 14th, Tuesday the 15th, and Wednesday the 16th of September. The 15th is the one to circle on the calendar.
Rusty, out.

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.
