The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about what’s shaping up. Honestly, it’s a grim start. From now until the 24th of July, we’re looking at a solid 11-day stretch with next to nothing. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the energy is weak. The first session shows a combined energy of 49 (weak), and it barely gets any better. The water temperature is a balmy 66°F, which is 6°F warmer than usual for this time of year – much warmer than normal, so you’ll be comfortable in a spring suit, but the waves are the problem.
The first real sign of life doesn’t show up until Friday the 24th of July. The swell finally pushes up to 4ft from the southwest, but the wind is cross-onshore and choppy. The combined energy climbs to 101 (moderate), but the conditions are poor. The following day, Saturday the 25th, sees a slightly bigger 5ft swell from the west, but it’s onshore wind again, making it messy. The energy hits 183 (moderate), but you’ll be fighting the wind.
For the best of a bad batch, you’d have to look at Wednesday the 22nd of July. In the morning, we get a glassy, clean window with the wind going light from the north. The swell is a tiny 2ft from the west with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy is 66 (weak). It’s not a standout, but it is the cleanest surf of the whole period. Constantine Bay is a beach and reef setup, very consistent, and exposed to the west. The optimum swell direction is from the west, so that lines up. It’s a long way off, and the swell is small, so it’s more of a longboard or funboard session. Keep expectations low.
Other than that, the rest of the run is a write-off. The week of the 14th to the 20th is particularly poor, with swell heights barely breaking 2ft and periods of 4 to 6 seconds. The wind is mostly cross-off or cross-shore, but the lack of swell energy means it’s not worth the paddle.

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.
