The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break down the surf for Constantine Bay over the next couple weeks. It's got some serious ups and downs, so don't book any days off work just yet for the first stretch.Honestly, the first several days are going to be a grind. For the first four days, the swell is mostly weak and the wind's blowing cross-on, chopping up any shape that tries to form. The energy is mostly a small number, under 100, and even when it bumps up on Wednesday and Thursday to a moderate 344-373, the wind's still fresh and onshore, making it a complete mess. Thursday morning has some strong power in the water at 509, but with rain and wind, it's not going to be clean.
Now, Saturday the 5th offers a glimmer of hope. The swell is a clean 1.1m and, most importantly, the wind goes glassy early. That's a window of pure, clean surf with some energy behind it (232). It's not huge, but it will be fun and perfect for getting some quality rides before the chop returns.
That good spell doesn't last. Sunday drops the swell off and then a big, powerful pulse hits Monday the 7th. There's a lot of water moving, a strong 917 on the energy scale, with a solid 2.0m of swell, but the onshore wind will blow it out. It's all power and no finesse. For the next few days after that, it just stays onshore and lumpy, and the swell fades into uselessness.
So, if you can be patient, this is where it gets good. Around the 14th, things start to change. We've got a proper groundswell with a period of 11-12 seconds and, for the first time in a while, the wind looks favorable. The morning of the 14th has a light offshore breeze and the afternoon is glassy. The swell is a solid 1.2m with plenty of energy (411), and it should have real shape to it. The 15th and 16th keep that clean, groomed feel, with some more long period swell pushing through (360-481). This is the window that's got my attention.
For this spot, we want that west swell, and those longer periods will make the waves stand up and wrap nicely around the reef. This spot is usually reliable, so this run of poor surf is a bit of a test, but it won't last long. If you've got some time off at the start of that second week, you could be in for a treat.
This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
