The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Constantine Bay over the next sixteen days.
To be straight with you, it’s a lean stretch. The forecast is pretty quiet, with a lot of small, weak swell and onshore winds messing things up. We’ve got a long gap of poor surf right through the end of July and the first few days of August. The first real glimmer of anything worth getting wet for doesn’t pop up until Monday the 3rd of August.
On Monday morning the 3rd, the wind goes glassy and the swell picks up a little to 2 ft from the WSW, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is still weak at 80, but it’s surfable. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so nothing wild there. It’s a beach and reef setup, very consistent, and exposed to the west. The optimum swell direction is from the west, so that WSW swell is in the right zone. It’s a small window of clean conditions, but the surf itself is very ordinary. Not a standout, just a chance to get a few small ones if you’re desperate.
The next little pulse comes on Saturday the 8th of August. The afternoon sees a 3 ft swell from the WSW, period 7 seconds, and the combined energy finally ticks up to a moderate 106. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the NE, keeping it clean. Again, it’s surfable but very ordinary. The swell is small and short-period, so don’t expect any power.
After that, it’s back to a whole lot of nothing. The swell drops right off, and the wind turns nasty with strong cross and cross-onshore breezes through the second week. By the 15th of August, the swell is barely a ripple at 0.3 ft with a long period of 13 seconds, but the energy is a pathetic 5. That’s not surf, that’s a lake.
There’s no standout session in this entire 16-day window. The best you’ll get is a few small, clean waves on the 3rd and 8th of August, but nothing to write home about. For a spot that’s very consistent, this is a rare quiet spell. It tends not to stay this poor for long, so keep an eye on the forecasts.

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.
