Surf is the face height at the beach after the swell is filtered for the way Constantine faces. Arrows point to where the swell and wind come from: an arrow pointing up means from the north. Tide is the height at Padstow above chart datum, rising ↑ or falling ↓; the rating drops when the tide is outside the window this break works on. Amber marks the sessions worth setting an alarm for. From Wednesday the swell comes from Météo-France's 10-day model, which is coarser than the 5 km German model used close in. Hours no model reaches are left blank, not shown as flat.

Exposure

Constantine faces west. Measured from the seabed, it is open to swell from S round to NW; the brighter a wedge, the deeper the water in that direction and the more of the swell gets in. Anything from behind the headlands scores nothing, however big the buoy says it is.

How Constantine works

Swell
Best from the south west.
Wind
Offshore is from the north east; anything with west in it is onshore and messes it up.
Tide
high tide.
Getting there
hard to get to so use a map

best on the left side of the beach. but there are real big rip currents and the reef is over to the left
