Table - best surf conditions forecast for Centreville Beach over the next 16 days.
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.

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.
Centreville Beach is 27 km (17 miles) from Eureka. If you plan a vacation in Humboldt County, look for hotels and other accommodation in Eureka. Eureka has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
