The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Centreville Beach has got cookin' for us over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you – it's a pretty bleak picture for the most part. The water temp is sitting at 56°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
We kick things off on Sunday, July 26th with some swell, but the quality is rough. There's a solid long-period SW groundswell running – that 19-second period (very long period) gives it heaps of energy. The waves are around 4 ft. But the wind is a stubborn cross-onshore from the NNW at 9 mph, making it a choppy, messy affair. This same frustrating pattern sticks around for Monday, July 27th, with similar 4 ft to 4 ft SW swell and the same cross-onshore breeze. It's surfable, but it's not going to be memorable.
Then the wheels well and truly fall off. From Tuesday, July 28th all the way through to Saturday, August 9th, it's basically a write-off. We’re looking at a solid 12-day stretch where the conditions are just plain poor. The wind stays up, and the swell either drops away to tiny, weak scraps under 3 ft or gets chopped up by a moderate breeze at 12-16 mph. The wave energy drops into the low triple and even double digits – real weak stuff. There isn't a single standout session in that whole run; it's a true dry spell.
Now, there's a little glimmer of potential right at the end of the forecast, on Sunday, August 9th. The afternoon shows a jump in size to 8 ft from the NW with a moderate 10-second period. That's a serious step up in power. But, and it's a big but, it's still a cross-onshore wind at 9 mph, so the quality is going to be marginal. That first day of the second week (Monday, August 10th) sees that energy drop away again.
So, the real talk is this: the best on offer is that first weekend. If you're desperate for a paddle, Sunday, July 26th or Monday, July 27th offer the most size (4 ft to 4 ft) and proper long-period energy. It won't be pretty, but it's the only game in town.
Stay patient, and keep an eye on the forecast. It tends not to stay this grim forever.
Rusty.
