The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s shaping up for Constantine Bay over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’ve got to be straight with you – the first week and a half is a bit of a grind. We’re looking at a long dry spell where the surf just isn’t cooperating. From Sunday the 26th of July right through to the evening of Saturday the 8th of August, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, and the wave energy is weak to moderate at best, with many days showing combined energy under 200. It’s a real struggle.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until Sunday the 9th of August. That’s the standout. On Sunday morning, we’ve got a clean 8ft swell from the WNW, and with a glassy calm wind, the surface is going to be like a mirror. The wave energy is strong at 538, and the period is short at 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit sectiony and punchy – more of an intermediate-to-expert wave. Beginners beware, 8ft is a big step up. The water temperature is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 64°, which is a nice bonus. Sunday afternoon sees a similar 8ft WNW swell, but a light cross-onshore breeze creeps in, so the morning is definitely the pick of the two sessions.
After that, things get messy again. Monday the 10th of August brings strong southerly cross-shore winds and a drop in swell size, so it’s back to choppy, poor conditions.
So, if you’re keen, clear your calendar for the morning of Sunday the 9th of August. That’s your shot. The rest of the window is pretty much a write-off.
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.
