The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, let’s talk Centreville Beach for the next couple of weeks.
We’re starting slow. Sunday and Monday have some waist-to-chest high swell, around 3ft to 4ft, but the wind is all wrong. Sunday morning, a cross-on 9 mph breeze from the NNW is making it choppy. The wave energy is moderate, around 935, but it’s not worth paddling out in that mess.
Tuesday morning, the 1st of September, looks a bit better. Swell drops to 4ft from the NW, period of 10 seconds, and the wind shifts to a light cross-off from the SW at 6 mph. The water temp is about normal for this time of year. It’s clean and rideable, but still not a standout.
Now, Thursday the 3rd of September is where it gets good. We’ve got a solid 5ft to 6ft swell from the NW, period around 9 to 10 seconds, and clean cross-off winds from the SSW. The combined energy is 876—moderate to strong. That morning session is the best of the first week: clean, punchy waves. If you’re intermediate or better, get out there.
The real standout is Friday the 4th of September. The morning brings a 6ft swell from the NW with a 10-second period, and offshore wind from the NW at 6 mph. The combined energy hits 1542—that’s strong, powerful surf. This is the biggest, most powerful swell of the outlook. The waves will be hollow and fast, but with that size, it’s for experienced surfers only. Circle this day.
After that, the swell backs off. The 6th of September, Sunday morning, is glassy—wind from the WNW at just 3 mph. The swell is 3ft from the SSW, period of 15 seconds, which is a long-period groundswell. That long period gives the waves shape and punch for their size, and with glassy conditions, it’ll be a smooth, clean session. Perfect for a longboard.
The second week is mixed. The 10th of September Thursday morning has a 3ft swell from the SW with a 17-second period, clean cross-off winds, and combined energy of 722. That’s a small, clean day but the long period gives it life.
Then on the 11th of September, Friday morning, we get a 5ft swell from the NW, 11-second period, and light cross-off wind from the east at 6 mph. The combined energy is 1007—strong, powerful surf. That’s a late-week highlight.
The 12th of September Saturday afternoon has a 7ft swell from the NW, but it’s cross-on wind from the north at 12 mph, making it choppy and messy. That’s a big-wave day for experts only, and the wind will spoil it.
The best of the lot is Friday the 4th of September morning—big, offshore, powerful. Second best is Thursday the 3rd, and the glassy Sunday the 6th is a gem for smaller, clean waves. Centreville Beach is a fairly consistent spot, so even if the first few days are average, there’s plenty to look forward to.

Information about the Centreville Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Centreville Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Centreville Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Centreville Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Centreville Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Centreville Beach may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
