The Lowdown
Alright, partner, Rusty here. Let's dig into what Constantine Bay has in store.
Gotta be honest, the next week or so is a tough one. There's swell, but the damn wind is just ruining it. Water temp is pretty much what you'd expect for this time of year, nothing unusual.
The first session worth paddling out for is on Saturday, September 5th. Don't get your hopes up too high. We're talking about a 5ft swell from the west with a long 11-second period – some proper groundswell – but the wind is blowing straight on it. The morning is the cleaner window, but I'd still call it marginal.
Then we've got a stretch of real poor conditions for a few days. The swell sticks around or even gets bigger, but those strong onshore winds just thrash it. Your first real bright spot is the morning of September 12th. The sky clears, we get a light offshore breeze from the northeast, and the waves are a clean 4ft from the west with an 11-second period. The energy is moderate, but the wind makes it a totally different story. Clean waves. Worth noting, you might have to share the water here.
Now, the one day I'm actually looking forward to is Wednesday morning, September 16th. This is the standout, the one you set an alarm for. The swell is a nice 4ft from the west with that same long 11-second groundswell period, and here's the kicker – it's glassy. No wind. Flat calm. That's the kind of morning that makes all this waiting worth it. The energy is moderate, but the quality will be top shelf.
After that, it tapers off into the third week. A few cleaner days but the waves get smaller and more ordinary, nothing to write home about. That long-period swell in the first half will be best on the reefs and points rather than the beach breaks.
Bottom line: a long wait for a clean session on the 12th, but that glassy morning on the 16th is your money shot.

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.
