At 8.15 a.m:
Constantine (2*): 6 to 8 feet
A surprisingly bright and cheerful, clear sky is quickly spreading along the coastline this morning, the breeze calm, the sun weak but bright and the surf pumping!
Six to eight feet and bigger of still dark and brooding waves are thumping ashore, the breeze almost offshore but not quite, yet. The forecasts are showing that to happen through midday, as the tide fills in.
And then the surf could and should be fabulous from then on.
Until then, well if you really need that paddling practice then here’s the place! Or you could try somewhere like Fistral, that is likely to be way better than here right now.
And if you are available;
Constantine Bay is in need of a Beach Clean! The recent storms have brought in loads of seaweed and plastic so if anyone can help, please meet on the beach at 4pm this afternoon.
Bring your own gloves, litter pickers and bags.
4pm was chosen as it gives people the chance to do it after the school run and it is a good time for the outgoing tide.
Please wear suitable footwear and clothing and if you bring a child please note that you will accept full responsibility for your child and his/her behaviour, health and well being.
Everything collected will be taken away, sorted and recorded by the Beach Guardian as part of the #PlasticFreeCoastlines initiative.
Harlyn (3*): 3 feet
Some nice little waves are spilling ashore here this morning too!
A couple to three feet of glassy and smooth face little waves are peaking and tubing with the occasional much bigger swell washing through. The breeze is set light, the swell is thumping through and the weather is set fair!
Have a great day!

Surf Conditions for the Rest of the Week
Make the most of those calmer and more settled, brighter conditions at the start of the week, there’s another low pressure system out there in the process of dropping its isobars ready to pounce!
The small but beautifully shaped surf of Monday should gradually increase in size through Tuesday, the wind continuing offshore until late on Tuesday afternoon.
The weather will deteriorate again as we go through Tuesday, the swell increasing in size all the time.
Big swells are going to be battering their way into the bays through Wednesday, the wind maybe calming and switching offshore through the morning, offering some classic big surf conditions at our favourite breaks – if we’re only a little lucky!
Those winds are going to revert back to north westerly at least for a while as we go into the back half of the week but they might just stay quite calm during daylight hours, offering at least the chance of some big and testing surf!
So, all in all it’s looking like a week full of potentially great surf if only for a few hours at a time! With a little research and maybe more travelling than you would prefer, we should all be able to get some great sessions in!
Have a great week, wherever you are and whatever you’re doing!
