The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Constantine Bay.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is a tough pill to swallow. We’ve got a solid stretch from Friday the 11th right through to Monday the 21st where conditions are just plain ugly. The wind is mostly cross-onshore or howling onshore, and the wave state is described as poor surf conditions across the board. Even though there’s some size in the water – like a 7ft swell on Tuesday the 15th – it’s being hammered by a fresh 22 mph cross-onshore breeze. The combined swell energy is moderate to strong (469), but it’s a messy, lumpy mess. Not worth paddling out for. This pattern just grinds on and on.
Now, the light at the end of the tunnel. The first real sign of life shows up on Saturday morning the 19th of September. The wind finally swings around to a light cross-offshore from the SE at 9 mph, and we get that magic word: clean. The swell is a modest 4ft from the west with a 9-second period, and the combined energy is a moderate 230. It’s not going to be pumping, but with clean conditions and that offshore wind, Constantine Bay will finally have some fun, rippable waves. The Saturday afternoon session holds similar promise, though the wind picks up a touch. This is the standout window for the whole 16-day outlook. The rest of the forecast after that slides back into poor conditions with strong winds and chop, so don’t sleep on that Saturday morning.

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.
