Centreville Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what Centreville Beach has on the table for the next couple of weeks.

To be straight with you, this is a tough run. The first week is pretty much a write-off. We’ve got a long stretch of poor surf conditions starting now and lasting right through until the 4th of August. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1.0ft to 3ft, and the wind is a persistent cross-onshore, making it choppy and lumpy. Not worth the paddle.

Then, on the morning of Wednesday the 5th of August, we get a massive spike – a 10ft swell from the NW. That’s a serious amount of water, with a combined energy of 1373. That’s strong energy. But here’s the catch: the models say it’s too big for this break. It’s a beach setup, and with that kind of size, it’s going to be a washing machine. Unless you’re an expert looking for a beatdown, I’d sit this one out. The wind is still cross-on, so don’t expect any perfection.

After that pulse, it drops straight back into the doldrums. From the 5th afternoon all the way through to the 15th of August, we’re looking at tiny, weak swells (1ft to 2ft) with that same cross-onshore wind. The combined energy fluctuates between 83 and 573, which is generally weak to moderate at best. The period is long, 15 to 19 seconds, which is a classic groundswell, but it’s just so small it won’t have any push. The water temperature is a touch below average for this time of year at 56°F, but nothing wild.

Honestly, there’s no standout session here. The only real spike is too big and messy, and the rest is too small and choppy. If you’re desperate, the best chance for a clean-ish wave would be on the mornings of the 15th of August with a 2ft SW swell and a gentle breeze, but even then, it’s a cross-on wind. For now, it’s a waiting game.

Rusty.
