The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what Centreville Beach has in store.

Honestly, it’s a rough run for this spot. There’s a huge stretch of poor conditions to start, with barely anything worth getting wet for until the second week of August, and even then, it’s nothing to write home about.

Wednesday the 29th of July kicks off with some knee-to-waist high swell, 4 ft from the southwest with a 16-second period. The energy is moderate, around 1234, but the wind is a moderate cross-onshore from the north at 12 mph, making it choppy. The water temp is about 57°F, which is normal for this time of year. It’s a “marginal” call at best. Thursday and Friday are more of the same – messy cross-on winds and dropping swell. The first weekend into the next week is pretty much a total loss, with tiny 1 ft to 2 ft swell and moderate to fresh breezes keeping everything lumpy and poor. There’s a real dry spell from the 31st of July all the way through to the 9th of August.

Things do perk up a little around the 11th of August, Tuesday morning. We get a small pulse from the west, 2 ft with a decent 15-second period and a light offshore from the NNW at 9 mph. The energy is moderate at 432. That window looks cleaner, but it’s short. By Tuesday afternoon and into Wednesday the 12th, the swell jumps to 6 ft from the northwest but with a short, weak period of 7-8 seconds, combined with strong cross-onshore winds at 12 mph. That’s a messy, lumpy combo – more interesting for kite surfing than a traditional paddle. With swell over 5 ft, it’s not for beginners, and the short period means wonky shape on this beach.

The last real window is Thursday the 13th of August. The morning shows 3 ft from the southwest with a long 16-second period, a light offshore from the NNW at 9 mph, and moderate energy of 909. The wind is light and favorable before turning cross-on in the afternoon, so the early session is the one to target. Still, it’s only a marginal call – you might find a clean bank if you’re lucky.

No break here is a true standout. Centreville Beach is fairly consistent, but the winds are against it for almost the entire forecast. If the forecasts shift, things could turn around, but as it stands, you’re looking at a lot of flat, choppy days with just a couple of small windows of cleaner, long-period swell. Keep an eye on that Thursday the 13th morning.

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.
