CONSTANTINE & BOOBYS

A wonderful golden stretch of sand reaching to Trevose head when the tide is low, as the tide comes in the beaches separate in two separate beaches.  Great surfing beaches which pick up what ever mother nature’s waves are out in the Atlantic.  Caution must be taken when the surf conditions are rough, however a good summer option particularly when the swell is small.

We would usually choose Constantine as our chosen location to surf when the tide is mid to high throughout the day and when the swell is small and the wind is light easterly through to northerly.  Trevose Head offers great protection when there is more north in the wind.
We would usually choose Boobys as our chosen location to surf when the tide is mid to low throughout the day and when the swell is small and the wind is light easterly through to northerly.  Similar to Constantine in the respect that we rely on Trevose Head to offer us great protection when there is more north in the wind.

SURF SPOT QUALITY

WAVE

A good quality beach break with peaks up and down the beach, however dependent upon sand banks at any given time as these change frequently due to its exposure to the prevailing swell.  Great beginner and intermediate wave when the swell is small, however in larger conditions wave becomes powerful with strong rip currents and is best suited to experts only.

SWELL

Picks up any south west, or west swells.

WIND

Best wind from the east, south east and north east.

TIDE

Constantine is best tides from mid to high tide either on the drop or on the push, whereas Boobys is best from mid – low tide.  Its usual to surf between the two beaches dependent upon tide. Notes waves often disappear on very high tides.

CROWD

Crowded particularly in summer.
