The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get stuck into what’s coming up for Centreville Beach.

To be honest, the next 16 days are a real struggle. We’ve got a long, grim stretch of poor surf conditions right through the first week and a half. From Tuesday the 14th all the way through to the end of the week, it’s a write-off: cross-onshore winds, choppy lines, and wave heights barely scratching 2ft. The water is sitting at 53°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll want a good thick suit.

The first real glimmer of something surfable pops up on Friday morning, July 17th. There’s a 7ft swell from the NW, but it’s short period, only 8 seconds, and the wind is onshore. The combined energy reading is a hefty 1175 (moderate-strong energy), but it’s a messy, lumpy beast. That’s more of a big-wave grunt for experienced paddlers only, and the tide and wind will make it a real handful. Possibly more interesting for kitesurfing than a clean paddle session.

Saturday morning, July 18th, offers a slight improvement. Swell drops to 3ft from the WNW with a much longer 16-second period, and the wind is offshore. The energy is still solid at 1116 (moderate-strong). That combination of clean offshore wind and long-period groundswell could give a few lined-up sets, but the break is inconsistent and rarely breaks well, so don’t expect a conveyor belt. It’s a marginal call, but it’s the best we’ve got.

The standout of the entire outlook, if you can call it that, is Saturday morning July 18th. That 3ft WNW swell with offshore wind gives the cleanest chance of a wave. After that, the following week is back to poor, choppy, cross-onshore conditions, with only a few glimpses of offshore wind in the mornings but never enough swell to make it worthwhile. The energy drops off too, down into the low hundreds. Honestly, it’s a bleak run.

There’s a long gap here with no real recommendations. The first half of the forecast is a total blank, and the second half barely improves. It’s one of those periods where the area just goes quiet. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, you’re not missing much.

Rusty.

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.
