The Lowdown
Hey everyone, Rusty here. Let’s break down what Constantine Bay is looking like over the next couple weeks.
It starts off pretty flat and messy. Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th have tiny waves around 1ft to 3ft from the WNW, but the wind is all over the place and the energy is weak. Not worth getting wet.
Wednesday the 12th morning shows a little more life with 3ft west swell, but the period is short at 10 seconds. It’s clean with a light cross-off breeze, so you might snag a few small ones.
From Thursday the 13th through Sunday the 16th, the swell picks up to around 4ft, but the wind turns onshore or cross-shore, making things choppy and rough. Energy climbs (274, 240), but the quality is poor. This setup might be better for kite surfing than paddling.
A flat spell hits from Monday the 17th through Tuesday the 18th, with swell dropping to under 1ft.
The second week starts to clean up. Wednesday the 20th afternoon and into Friday the 21st we get cleaner conditions with light cross-off winds. Swell is around 2ft to 3ft from the west with a 9-10 second period. It’s small but clean.
The best day for small-wave fun is Saturday the 22nd afternoon. Waves are only 2ft from the west, but the wind goes glassy. That means smooth, clean surf – perfect for a longboard. Crowds are possible, but the conditions will be sweet.
The real standout is Tuesday the 25th morning. We’ve got 5ft west swell with an 8-second period and strong energy (290). The wind is light and cross-off, so it should be clean. That’s the session to aim for.
Water temp is about average for the season, nothing unusual.
So, a slow start with wind issues, but the end of the forecast delivers. Friday the 21st for clean small waves, and Tuesday the 25th morning for the best all-round conditions.
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.
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.
