Centreville Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s take a look at what Centreville Beach has cooking.

Straight up, it’s a rough stretch. No decent waves on the table to start, and we’re in for a long, quiet run.

The first time you’d even think about paddling out is Sunday the 12th, and even then it’s a low percentage call. You get a 1.8m swell from the NW in the morning with a short 10-second period, but a cross-on north wind at 12 mph messes it all up. The combined wave energy is moderate (814), but the conditions are poor. That afternoon the swell holds with a 9-second period, but the cross-on wind is still there. Look, but don’t expect much.

From Monday the 13th all the way through to Saturday the 26th, it’s the same sad tune. Wave heights bounce between 1ft and 3ft, mostly from the SW, W, or WNW. The wind is a steady cross-on from the N or NNW blowing at 9 to 19 mph. It’s choppy, lumpy, and no fun for a surfer. The combined energy stays weak to moderate, from 213 up to 704. You do get some long-period groundswell in there – 15 to 21 seconds from the WNW and SW – but without clean wind, it’s wasted energy.

There’s no real standout. The only two days that scrape a ‘marginal’ tag are Friday morning the 17th and Sunday morning the 26th. On the 17th, a 2ft WNW swell with a solid 17-second period rolls in, and the wind is a light cross-on from the W at 6 mph. It might be the least bad of the lot. On the 26th, it’s a 2ft SW swell with a 20-second period and a light onshore wind from the WNW. Again, just barely worth a glance.

Since this spot normally sees a bit of action, this two-week dry spell feels unusual. That north wind just won’t quit, and the swell never lines up right. If you’re desperate, keep an eye on Friday the 17th morning – it’s your best, and really only, shot at something half clean.
