The Lowdown

G'day, Rusty here. Well, it's been a tough spell for surf on the Centreville coast, and this outlook is a long one to get through. We're looking at a bit of a dry run for the most part, with a big, uncertain standout way out at the end. The water at Centreville Beach is a frigid 52°, which is a whopping 4° colder than what's normal for this time of year—that's a seriously cold anomaly, so you'll want a thick steamer.

The first few days are a real write-off. Monday the 13th kicks off with a 4ft NW windswell, but the onshore breeze has it all chopped up and messy. The combined energy is moderate at 443, but the quality is poor. Tuesday the 14th and Wednesday the 15th are much the same story—tiny waves, cross-onshore winds, and poor conditions.

We finally see a glimmer of something on Thursday morning the 16th, but it’s a marginal call. A long-period, 19-second groundswell pushes in from the WNW, but it's only 2ft. The energy is still moderate at 560, but the cross-onshore wind and the sheer lack of size means it's a tough one to get excited about. This pattern of small, messy surf washes out through the rest of that week and into the next. There’s a notable spike in energy on Saturday the 18th, hitting 1079 (strong wave energy) in the afternoon with a 3ft SW swell, but again, the wind is wrong and the quality is marginal. You might get a few, but it’s a grind.

Then, on Saturday the 25th of July, the models are throwing up a big one for the morning session. This is the one true standout in the whole 16-day window. We're looking at a solid 10ft NW swell, pushing up some serious combined energy at 1980. The wind is blowing offshore from the NNW, which should groom the faces nicely. Now, the catch here is that the forecast itself says this might be too big for this break—this is one for the experienced crew on a big-wave board. At 10ft, we're in expert territory. The swell period is short at 8 seconds, so it's a windswell, and while the offshore wind is perfect, it might be a bit of a washing machine. This is a week and a half away, so treat this as a promising but not guaranteed session. Keep it on the radar.

After that, it's back to small and choppy again for the rest of the month. There's a 7-day gap from the 19th to the 25th with nothing really worth paddling out for. It's been a lean run, but that Saturday the 25th morning has some serious potential if you're an expert and the forecast holds. 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. 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.
