The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at Centreville Beach in feet, Fahrenheit, and miles per hour.
We’ve got a quiet opening. Friday the 28th through Sunday the 30th, the wind’s cross-onshore, making a mess of small swell around 2ft to 4ft. The water temp is about normal for now. Not much to get excited about.
There’s a gap of a few days with really marginal conditions. Monday the 31st and into Tuesday the 1st of September, the swell is small and the wind’s still not great. The wave energy is mostly weak to moderate, so you’ll be scratching for a ride.
Wednesday the 2nd of September morning looks cleaner with a light cross-offshore breeze and a small, long-period groundswell from the SW. It’s only about 2ft to 2ft, but with a period of 16 to 18 seconds. It’s clean, but small.
The real standout is Thursday the 3rd of September morning. We’ve got a solid 7ft NW swell with a 12-second period and clean, offshore wind. The combined energy is strong at 1709. This is for experienced surfers only – it’s big, powerful, and will handle like a beast. The crowd situation: sometimes busy, but you’ll have a reason to be there.
Friday the 4th of September morning is another excellent window. Clean 3ft SW groundswell, 18-second period, light cross-offshore breeze. That’s a beautiful, clean wave for a longboard or fun shape, and the energy is strong at 1164.
After that, from the 5th of September into the second week, it’s mostly small, marginal surf with poor winds. A few hopeful moments, but mostly choppy and not recommended. The last few days from the 10th to the 12th are poor – don’t bother.
So, plan around Thursday the 3rd morning for the big stuff, and Friday the 4th morning for clean, smaller waves. The rest of the window is pretty flat or messy. The forecast can shift, but that’s how it’s looking now.
Rusty out.

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.
