The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks. To be honest, the outlook is a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got some chunky swell coming through, but the wind is going to be a real pain for most of it.
The first chance for a surf kicks off on Sunday the 30th of August, but honestly, don’t get your hopes up. Constantine Bay is showing a 5ft swell from the WSW, but the wind is a fresh cross-onshore from the SSW at 19 mph. It’s going to be lumpy and pretty poor. The water is sitting at 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The combined swell energy is moderate at 367, but it’s just not going to be clean.
That same messy picture holds through Monday and Tuesday, with more fresh cross-onshore winds and the swell bouncing around from 4ft to 10ft. On Monday morning, we even see a 10ft swell from the W with a moderate energy of 1386, but that strong cross-onshore wind will ruin it. It’s just not good for paddle surfing; if you’ve got a kite, that Monday might look a bit more interesting.
We’ve got a stretch of days here with no real standouts. The wind just won’t let up, staying cross-onshore or onshore almost constantly. The swell does drop off a bit mid-week, but it’s still not looking good.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Saturday the 5th of September. The morning session sees a 5ft swell from the W with a 11-second period, and the wind is a gentle cross-shore from the NNW at 9 mph. The energy is moderate at 551. It’s described as marginal, but that’s the best we’ve seen. The afternoon drops off, so get out early if you can.
The following week is a bit of a write-off, with very small swell and frustrating conditions. By Sunday the 13th of September, we get a little something. The morning has a clean 3ft swell from the W with a 10-second period, and a moderate offshore wind from the ENE at 12 mph. The energy is weak at 121. It’s small, but it’s clean. The best of the week? That’s the glimmer on Saturday the 5th. It’s not perfect, but it’s the only window where the wind and swell might line up for a few decent ones.
Keep an eye on the long-range, but don’t hold your breath.

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.
