Constantine Bay Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right, listen up. Rusty here, and I've had a proper look at what's coming our way for Constantine Bay. I'll be straight with you – it's a tough outlook, but there are a few fleeting moments that might just make it worth keeping your wetsuit on standby.

The overall pattern is a bit of a letdown, to be honest. We're looking at a long, drawn-out period of small, weak swell. The energy just isn't there for the most part. The water temperature is sitting at a mild 62°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won't be freezing your bits off while you're sitting there waiting.

Now, let's start at the beginning. From Monday the 6th right through to Wednesday the 8th, it's a write-off. We're talking tiny, short-period windswell with poor conditions. The wind is blowing straight onshore or cross-onshore, and the wave energy is in the weak range.

Thursday the 9th morning is the first little glimmer. The swell is still a tiny 3ft from the WNW, but for the first time, the wind goes cross-offshore, cleaning things up. The energy is still only moderate (126), so it's not going to be pumping, but it's a chance for a clean little wave on a longboard or a funboard. The afternoon gets crossed up again, so don't hang around.

Friday the 10th is back to the grind with cross-shore winds and a messy sea state. The swell stays small, and it looks pretty average.

Moving into the weekend, Saturday the 11th has a clean morning again, with a weak 2ft swell from the W, but the period is a decent 10 seconds. It's a glassy-looking morning, but the energy is minimal (123). Saturday afternoon it gets chopped up again. Sunday the 12th is a strange one – a clean morning with a tiny 3ft swell, but it's from the north with a short period, so not great.

Then we hit a real quiet spell. From Sunday the 12th afternoon right through to Saturday the 18th, it's mostly flat. We're talking swells under 1ft from various directions. The wind is often clean, but there’s just no water moving. It’s a big gap with basically nothing rideable.

We finally see a pulse of life on Sunday the 19th, which is out in the second week of the forecast. The morning brings a clean 2ft groundswell from the W with a period of 13 seconds. The energy is moderate (137), so it's a promising little window. This is the one to watch. The wind is clean from the ESE, creating some good shape potential for a beach and reef set-up like Constantine. The afternoon holds up pretty well too with a similar 2ft swell from the W, period at 12 seconds and energy at 121. It's this Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th morning that are the real standouts, but don't get too excited; it's still a small swell for this place.

After that, we fade back into small, onshore slop for the final few days of the forecast. It doesn’t look like it’s going to stay this poor forever, but for now, mark your calendar for the 19th and hope the forecasts firm up.

Rusty.
