The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Constantine Bay’s got cooking for us over the next couple of weeks. Straight up, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – this is a tough forecast. For the first twelve days, it’s pretty much a write-off. There’s just nothing doing for a surfer. The swell is tiny, the wind is messy, and the whole setup is just flat or choppy. You’d be better off doing something else.
We’ve got a real dry spell from now all the way through to Monday the 12th of August. There’s a few pulses of energy in the water, like on Monday the 5th with a 6ft swell from the WSW, but the wind is howling onshore at 22 mph, making it a complete mess. The combined energy is pretty weak to moderate at best, topping out at 317 (moderate) on that Wednesday morning, but it’s useless. Short period, choppy, onshore junk.
The real standout, the only day I’d genuinely get excited about, is Thursday morning, August 13th. We finally get a little window of decent conditions. Swell is a clean 4ft from the WSW, and the wind? Glassy. Dead calm. The combined swell energy is a moderate 167, so there’s enough push for a fun little session. That’s the moment to pounce. Constantine Bay is a very consistent beach and reef setup, so it generally holds a bit of shape when it's clean. This is a morning for the log or a fish.
After that, it gets messy again. Friday the 14th sees the wind pick right back up. However, look ahead to Sunday morning, August 16th. We get a bigger pulse of swell – 7ft from the WNW – with a gentle offshore breeze. The combined energy jumps right up to 526 (strong). This one is for experts only, because that size is going to be heavy and powerful, especially with a 8ft reading in the afternoon. If you’ve got the skills and the big board, that’s a proper session. The water temp is sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can probably get away with a thinner suit.
So, to sum it up: don’t bother for the first week and a half. Mark your calendar for the 13th of August for a glassy, fun day, and keep an eye on the 16th of August if you’re feeling brave.
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.
