Table - best surf conditions forecast for Centreville Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on the table for Centreville Beach.
Honestly, it's a tough outlook. The next couple of weeks look pretty grim for decent waves here. We've got a bit of a wait before anything even gets close to rideable, and even then it's marginal. The water is running much colder than normal at 52°F, so you'll want the thickest wetsuit you own.
The forecast kicks off with a small, weak swell on the 11th of July, coming from the SW with a combined energy of 526 (moderate), but the wind is a cross-onshore N breeze at 9 mph, making it choppy and pretty poor. This cross-onshore wind pattern sticks around day after day, and the wave comment says it all: poor surf conditions. The swell direction is all over the map, from NW to SW, but none of it lines up well with the wind.
There's a window on the morning of the 17th of July that's slightly more interesting. The wind shifts to a light offshore NW breeze at 9 mph, and we've got a WNW swell at 3ft with a 17-second period. That's very long period groundswell, which brings good energy and shape, but at a beach break it can break too straight and be a bit tricky. The combined energy is 635 (moderate), but it's just a "marginal" call. The morning of the 18th of July is similar with an offshore NW breeze at 6 mph and a 16-second period, also looking marginal. These are the only two sessions in the whole 16 days that have any potential at all, and even then it's a real long shot. The rest of the time, it's blown out or just flat.
If you’re an advanced surfer looking for a clean, gliding wave on a point break, this isn't it. With the persistent cross-onshore wind and the set-up, this spot is going to look a lot better for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of this period.
Rusty.

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.
