Table - best surf conditions forecast for Constantine Bay over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Constantine Bay is offering up over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, for the first week and a half, it’s flat. Proper flat. There’s nothing doing at all from Sunday the 12th right through to the morning of Monday the 27th of July. That’s a long, dry spell with nothing but tiny wind slop and ordinary conditions. The swell energy is almost non-existent, with combined values hanging around the 20s and 30s – that’s weak, no two ways about it. You’d be better off cleaning the wax off your board than paddling out.
Then, out of nowhere, Monday morning on the 27th of July, something wakes up. We’ve got a 7ft swell rolling in from the WSW with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy jumps right up to 586, which is strong, solid energy. That’s a proper pulse. Now, the wind is light from the NW, so it’s cross-onshore, which will put a bit of a ruffle on the surface. It’s not glassy, but it’s surfable for the experienced crew. This is a beach and reef setup, and with a 7ft swell, it’s going to be pushing size. That’s not for beginners; this one’s for the guys who know what they’re doing. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual to report there.
So, the one and only standout here is the morning of Monday the 27th of July. It’s the only real swell in the whole window. Just keep in mind, it’s a long-range call, so don’t book the week off work just yet, but it’s the best thing we’ve got on the table.
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.
