The Lowdown
Right then, let's have a look at Constantine Bay.
Alright, so for Constantine Bay, it's a tough stretch ahead, I gotta be straight with you. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a dud, to be honest. You're looking at a solid two and a half weeks with barely a ripple worth getting wet for. The swell is small and the wind is wrong, wrong, wrong for most of it. The early part of the run, from Saturday the 15th right through to Tuesday the 27th of August, is just not happening. We’ve got onshore and cross-shore winds blowing, often fresh, and the waves are tiny—mostly under 3 feet. The water temp on the Saturday morning is sitting at 67° which feels much warmer than normal for this time of year.
The one little glimmer, and I mean a tiny glimmer, shows up right at the very end. On Thursday morning the 28th of August, it’s looking glassy with a calm wind. But the swell is a mere 2 feet. It’s surfable but very ordinary, and it’s a beach and reef setup here that's exposed to a west swell. With the wind off the south, it could be clean for a quick paddle, but you’ll be fighting for scraps. The best day on offer, if you can call it that, would be Wednesday the 26th of August morning. It’s cleaner with a light breeze and a 2 feet swell from the west. It’s not much, but it’s the only thing close to rideable. Don't expect much.

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.
