Constantine Bay Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for Constantine Bay.

Honestly, for the next couple of weeks, it’s a pretty bleak picture. The first week is looking rough, with a lot of small, messy, cross-shore wind and barely any energy. The swell is tiny, the wind is never working in our favour, and the wave quality is just poor. There’s a real gap of nothing to get excited about right through the first week.

We’ve got a few days where the combined energy of all swells directed here (34) is super weak, and the swell is only 1ft with a short period. It’s just not doing anything. The wind is cross or cross-on from the north, and it’s bumpy. The quality is poor, no matter if it’s the morning or afternoon.

Things start to look a little less hopeless around July 21st. On Tuesday morning, we get a bit of a cleaner look with a gentle cross-offshore breeze from the NNE. The swell is still only 3ft from the NNW, with a short period, so it’s not going to be a classic, but it’s surfable. The combined energy (74) is still weak, but it’s the only window that’s even close to okay. It’s about the best of a bad bunch.

The second week offers a few more pulses of energy, with the swell height climbing to 4ft and even 5ft around the 25th to 29th of July. The combined energy hits 167 on the 27th, so there’s definitely more push in the water. But here’s the problem: the wind is almost always cross-on from the northwest or west, and for a beach and reef setup, that’s going to chop it up real quick. The quality is still poor. The swell is coming from the northwest and west, which is the optimum direction for this spot, but the wind is just ruining the party.

There is a very brief moment on the morning of July 28th where the wind goes glassy, with a light westerly breeze. The swell is 3ft from the west, period 6 seconds, and the combined energy is 120. This is the only window that looks like it could be clean. But it’s so short-lived, and the swell is nothing special. It’s the most promising moment, but it’s a long way out, so don’t bank on it.

The best on offer is that Tuesday morning, the 21st, for the cleanest conditions, or the glassy window on the 28th, but that’s far off and uncertain. For the rest of it, the conditions are too choppy and the wind too poor to get excited about. It’s a frustrating stretch, especially for a spot that’s usually consistent. The water temp is sitting at 64°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but you won’t be feeling it with the lousy surf.

Keep an eye on the forecast, but don’t get your hopes up for anything epic in the next two weeks.
