The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a good, honest look at what’s coming up for Centreville Beach. I’ve gotta be straight with you – this 16-day stretch is a rough one. There’s a long, dry gap right from the start, so don’t even bother waxing up for the first week.
We’re looking at a whole lot of nothing until the very end of the window. The bulk of the first week is filled with poor surf conditions and cross-onshore winds that will keep things choppy and messy. The wave energy is in the moderate range, hitting around 659 (combined energy) early on, but it’s all for nothing with the wind. The water temp is sitting at 57°F, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
The only real chance to get wet comes right at the tail end of the 16-day forecast, and it’s a long way out. On Monday the 21st of September, we finally get a glimmer of hope. The morning session is looking like the only true standout. We’ll have a 3ft SSW groundswell rolling in with a very long period of 18 seconds, which means real energy and shape. The wind is forecast to be glassy, which is a massive positive. The combined energy is 451 (moderate), and the swell is right in the optimum direction for the break. The downside? It’s a long-range call, so don’t set your watch by it yet, but it’s the only light at the end of the tunnel. This spot is exposed and fairly consistent, but those long-period swells can be a bit straight at beach breaks, so keep that in mind.
For the rest of the window, it’s a washout. The wind is mostly cross-onshore or fresh, and the surf quality is poor. The short period windswell on the 13th of September (6ft from the NW at 8 seconds) is a no-go – too much wind, poor shape, and it’s over 5ft, so it’s not for the beginners anyway.
Honestly, this is a blank run. It’s a tough stretch for the area, but it won’t stay poor forever. Keep an eye on that Monday the 21st.
Rusty.

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.
