Constantine:
It's a more overcast one this morning but still very calm and very warm. And the surf is still very flat. It is beautiful down on the beach today but there's barely a ripple rolling through.
Right, I'm out of here to pick Toby D up, do that drive to the airport, grab an eleven hour flight and then a 10 hour drive, just in time for a big lump of swell to brush against the point at Arugam Bay. Well, that's the plan! Watch out for the snap shots (there's a whole bunch of really good snappers on the flight list including Tony from Surftwisted and Sharpy from Slide, not to mention Alex Williams and a whole media crew too, so there should be a decent image or two drifting over the internet over the next week or two!). So, no surfcheck till about the 8th july ish. Have a great time while I'm away!
We've uploaded Eugene's entry into Micah's MVP You decide competition. Check it out below and check that barrel about halfway through. And we've popped the clips of Hannah from their Indo trip as well. Enjoy.

If you're into your music, you may be interested in this from Carly;
"Battle of the Bands" at The Office, Truro.
Winner gets to spend a day at EMI Music Publishing Company in London laying down demos plus £500. To enter they just need to send me their demo or email me a link to their myspace page if they've got their music on there. From all of the entries 12 will be picked to go through to the heats. There will be 3 heats taking place during august with 4 bands in each heat then the winner from each heat gets through to the final which takes place on the last thursday of August. For any more info they can contact me...umm think thats all you need to know! Thanx much appreciated.x. Send 'em to carly_j_moore@hotmail.co.uk .

Our blog is at http://constantinesurf.wordpress.com . We'll try and keep it short and sweet and simple and fun and interesting without the waffle and flim flam and stuff.

Harlyn:
You think that you've seen it flat here? Well, it's flatter than that!

Forecast for Saturday 27th June 2009:
No wind, some serious sunshine burning through the haze occasionally and maybe (but definitely only maybe) a tiny little wave to be ridden just on the incoming tide.

Conditions for the weekend:
I had thought that we'd see some swell from that activity off Biscay but it now looks like it's more likley to be Sunday into Monday before any of that reaches us here. But it is so calm here right now that you can't help but feel that any activity at all in the north atlantic would priduce a little wave for us. So I wouldn't be surprised if you managed to get at least a longboardy one somewhere, if only for a moment or two on the incoming tide, sometime through Saturday into Sunday. But, equally, I wouldn't plan my life around it either!

If you're wondering where British surfing is at right now, check out Micah Lester's MVP video contest which is ready for takeoff with the first batch of entries hitting YouTube. We''ll try and post a few entries on here as it all rolls along but the ' MVP You decide' site is up and running where you will soon be able to cast your vote as to who you think is British surfing's most valuable player.

If you're looking to learn to surf or improve your skills or just want to give it a go then book into Cheyne and Sarah's Constantine Bay Surf School ( www.constantinebaysurfschool.co.uk ) Check the vid out below for a taster. They are offering group or individual tuition on a personal and uncrowded basis and have all the equipment you need. So whatever your level of ability why not book a lesson and give it a go!

Water Temperature: 14.3 deg C (about 58 ish F).

We hope to be able to report on the actual surf conditions each or most mornings and try to predict the next day's conditions. If we don't then the conditions are that bad (or good?).

Our scale for measuring conditions is the universal one; 1ft (barely rideable - your choice), 2-3ft (hip to shoulder height when trimming across the wave), 3-4ft (head high and great), 4-5ft (that little bit bigger), 6ft (very rare - well overhead), 8ft (rarely gets bigger in this country but has been known), 10ft (very rarely rideable in this country only a few breaks can hold this size) 12ft + (get yer jet ski, yer big wave gun, kiss yer family and friends good-bye and head for the hills - but I've never seen it this big and rideable in this country)
