The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s cooking for Centreville Beach over the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start. The first real chance to get wet doesn’t come until Sunday the 13th, but the morning window is the only one worth a look. That session offers a clean 5ft swell from the WNW with light offshore winds, making for tidy lines. The combined energy is moderate (433), so there’s enough push to have some fun. Water temps are about average for this time of year. For the rest of that day and into the next few days, the wind swings onshore and chops everything up, so you’re better off waiting.
After a few days of poor conditions, things start looking up again around Wednesday the 23rd. We see a solid bump in size to 5–6ft from the WNW/NW, with a period of 12 seconds, offering some real grunt. The combined energy jumps to strong levels (1080–1173), but the wind stays cross-onshore, keeping the quality just marginal. Still, it’s the best we’ve seen in a while.
The standout window arrives on Friday the 25th. That morning brings a clean 7ft NW swell at 11 seconds, with only a whisper of WSW wind. That’s nearly glassy. The energy is very strong (1347), and the cross-offshore breeze will groom those faces beautifully. This is the pick of the forecast – a real session to circle on the calendar. By Saturday the 26th, it drops back to a smaller 4ft NW swell, but the winds stay light and variable, keeping things fun and uncrowded.
That’s the long and short of it. The first week is a write-off after Sunday morning, but that last week has some proper potential. Stay tuned.
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.

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.
