The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Constantine Bay is a beach-and-reef spot that usually fires on a good W swell, but this 16-day forecast is looking pretty grim. The water temp is about 64°F, which is a touch warmer than typical for this time of year. But for surf? There’s nothing worth paddling out for. The whole window is full of tiny waves, messy cross-shore winds, and onshore slop. The combined energy barely gets into moderate territory, hitting 188 on the 30th, but that’s with a short-period 6-second windswell and onshore wind—no good.
The first few days are a total loss: from Wednesday 15th through Saturday 18th, swell heights are 1ft to 3.5ft, but the wind is all cross or cross-off, and none of it scores. Sunday 19th morning is the only slight highlight—3.3ft from the north with a light offshore from the east, clean and glassy. Energy is still weak (79), but it’s the best you’ll see. Even then, the waves are “surfable but very ordinary”. After that, it’s days of tiny junk with cross-shore and cross-onshore winds, bumps of wind around 15 to 20 mph, and wave heights rarely getting above 3ft. The 30th brings a bump to 5ft from the west, but with onshore wind from the west-northwest, it’ll be a washing machine. For a break that’s usually consistent, this is a rare flat spell. Don’t get your hopes up—check back later, but for now, it’s a hard pass.

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.
