The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. The long-range picture for Constantine Bay is a bit of a tough one. We're looking at a long stretch of conditions that are more about frustration than flow. The first few days are a write-off, but there's a glimmer of something bigger on the horizon, even if it comes with its own set of issues.
The first real opportunity we see isn't until the morning of the 28th of July. It's tiny, with a weak 2ft swell from the west and a period of 9 seconds, but the wind is glassy, right off the SSE. That's a major positive, giving you a clean, smooth surface. The combined energy is a weak 56, so don't expect much push, but for a log or a longboard, it might be your only chance for a cruise in the early days. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 64°F.
Now, what we're really looking at is the first of August. That's a Saturday, and the charts are showing a proper pulse of swell. The morning has an 8ft swell from the west with a 10-second period, and the afternoon bumps it up to a solid 10ft from the same direction. The combined energy is massive, hitting 1131 in the morning and 1637 in the afternoon. That's strong to very strong wave energy. The wind is a moderate cross-shore from the S and SSW, which is workable, but with that size, it's strictly for experienced surfers only. This is over 8ft, so it's expert territory. The break is a beach and reef, and with a 10-second period, it’s a groundswell that will have some heft.
The 2nd of August (Sunday) is still a player, with a 7ft west swell and a 10-second period in the morning and 761 combined energy, but the wind shifts onshore by the afternoon, making it a mess. Everything after that drops off again into small, chopped-up slop.
So, the standout here is clear: the 1st of August at Constantine Bay. The swell size and energy are the real deal, but you need to be on your game. The wind is manageable, but it’s not pristine. Just remember, this is a long-range call, so keep an eye on it as we get closer.
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.
