The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a proper look at what Constantine Bay has in store for us over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, so pay attention.
Right off the bat, it's grim. The first few days are a write-off. Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd are just messy with onshore winds and lumpy conditions – not worth getting wet for. Friday the 4th sees the swell bumping up to 6.9ft from the W, but it’s still cross-on and choppy, so the quality is poor.
Then we get a little window. Saturday the 5th morning is the standout of the whole outlook. The wind drops right out, going glassy. We’ve got a clean 4.3ft swell from the W. The combined energy is moderate and the period is a nice 11 seconds, giving the waves some real shape and push. This is your one chance for a proper session. Get on it early, because the afternoon goes light cross-on and drops off.
Sunday the 6th is a no-go; swell plummets to 2.0ft. Monday the 7th looks like a bomb going off with a 7.2ft W swell and huge energy readings, but it's blowing 30 km/h onshore and messy. Too big and blown out for a good time, unless you’re an expert in the slop. The following days through the second week are mostly small, weak, and wind-affected. There’s a pulse on the 14th with 4.9ft from the W and 11-second period, but the wind is onshore again, so the energy won’t translate to clean waves.
Honestly, for the next 16 days, there’s only one real standout: Saturday morning the 5th. That glassy spell with a solid 4.3ft W swell is as good as it gets here. The rest is mostly a frustrating run of poor surf conditions. Water temp is a touch warmer than normal at 64.6°, which is nice for the hands.

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.
