The Lowdown

G'day, I'm Rusty, and I'm gonna level with you—looking down the barrel of the next sixteen days at Centreville Beach, it's a rough run. There's not a single standout session in the whole window, and the swell and wind just aren't playing ball. We're looking at a long stretch of poor conditions, so let's get into it.

The first couple of days kick off with some swell, but it's a bit of a tease. The water here is sitting at 53°F and a bit colder than normal for this time of year.

On Wednesday afternoon, the 22nd of July, we've got a 6ft swell from the S, with a period of 10 seconds—decent energy, but it's a bit of a mess. The wind is a fresh 19 mph from the SSW, which is a cross-off breeze, so the surface is clean, but the surf is marginal. The combined energy is moderate (767). It's a tough one to get excited about.

Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th see the swell dropping right off. Thursday morning has a small 3ft from the SSW at 14 seconds, but the wind is a light cross-on from the W, making it a bit bumpy. The energy is moderate (420). Friday morning is even smaller, 2ft from the SW with a crazy long period of 24 seconds, but the wind is light onshore from the NW. That long period swell at a beach break like Centreville Beach is gonna be a bit straight and tough to handle—energy is moderate (461). Friday afternoon picks up a little to 3ft, same direction, with a long period of 24 seconds and a light onshore wind from the NNW. The energy jumps to strong (1138), but the conditions are still marginal.

Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th are a bit of a washout. Saturday has 4ft from the SW at 21 seconds, but it's cross-on from the N at 9 mph, making it choppy—energy is strong (1301). Sunday is similar, 4ft from the SW at 19 seconds, but the wind is a gentle 9 mph cross-on from the N. The sea is fairly choppy, and by Sunday afternoon it's poor. Energy is still strong (1207 and 962).

From Monday the 27th of July right through to the 6th of August, it's a grim run. The swell hangs around 1ft to 4ft, but the wind is a constant cross-on from the N or NNW, blowing at 9 to 16 mph. The surface is choppy and bumpy, and the energy drops from moderate (934) down to weak (100). The period ranges from 24 seconds down to 7 seconds, but none of it matters with the wind and the small size. The surf is consistently poor or marginal.

There's nothing here. No standout, no session to paddle out for. The whole 16-day window is a dud for a surf. Honestly, with the wind and the bumpy conditions, if you're keen, this setup might be more interesting for a kite session than a paddle. But for a surf? Save your energy. The forecasts can change, but right now, Centreville Beach is a write-off.

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.

Centreville Beach is 27 km (17 miles) from Eureka. If you plan a vacation in Humboldt County, look for hotels and other accommodation in Eureka. Eureka has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
