G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's shaping up for Centreville Beach over the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it's a pretty grim run for the most part. There's a lot of cross-onshore wind and messy conditions to work through, with only a few brief moments that might be worth paddling out. The water's sitting at a bit colder than normal for this time of year, 52.2°F, so you'll want a decent wetsuit.
The first real chance for a wave comes on Sunday the 5th of July in the afternoon. We've got a tiny 2.6ft swell from the SW, but the magic is in the period – a massive 18 seconds. That's a very long period groundswell, and with a gentle offshore wind from the NW, it'll be clean. The combined wave energy is weak at 625. This is a pick for the patient surfer on a longboard; it'll offer long, peeling lines but with a long wait between sets. It's a bit of a standout just because the conditions are so clean, even if the size is minimal.
Monday the 6th of July morning sees a jump in size to 6.2ft from the NW, but the period is a short 8 seconds. The wind is offshore from the NW, 6 mph, which is good, but the wave comment flags it as marginal due to questionable tides. Not the best.
From Monday afternoon right through to Saturday the 19th of July, it's a rough stretch. Nearly every session is written off with poor surf conditions and moderate cross-onshore breezes. A few highlights pop up on Monday the 14th of July morning – a tiny 1.6ft from the W with a 14-second period and clean offshore wind from the NNW, but the energy is very weak at 282.
The most interesting blip is Thursday the 16th of July morning. The swell jumps to 7.9ft from the NW with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is very strong at 1350 – that's a lot of juice. The wind is offshore from the NW at 9 mph. It's flagged as marginal and, at 7.9ft, this is solidly in the expert-only zone, especially with that short period making it dumpy and challenging. This is the standout for the crew with the skills to handle it, but it's a long way out, 10 days away, so keep an eye on the forecast.
After that, it's more of the same cross-onshore chop and small surf to finish the period. Not much else to get excited about.

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.
