The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Centreville Beach has got cooking for us over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – it’s a bit of a slow start, so don’t rush to grab your board just yet.
We’ve got a long stretch of nothing much happening to kick things off. From Monday the 14th through to Monday the 21st, it’s pretty much a write-off. The wind is mostly cross-onshore, the swell is small and weak, and what little energy there is (in the 191 to 713 range) just isn’t shaping up. The water’s sitting at 56°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll want a good wetsuit if you’re even thinking about a paddle.
Now, the first real standout, and I mean the only one worth getting excited about, hits us on Tuesday the 22nd of September. Centreville Beach is looking at a solid 10ft swell from the NW. The combined energy is pumping at 1897, which is strong. But – and this is a big but – that’s way too much juice for this spot. At over 8ft, this is strictly for the experts only. Beginners, stay on the sand for this one. The wind is cross-on from the N at 12 mph, so it’ll be a bit of a battle, but the raw power is there for those who can handle it. It’s a beach break, and with a period of 10 seconds, it’s not a super long groundswell, so it won’t be too straight.
After that big pulse, Wednesday the 23rd of September afternoon is a real treat. The swell drops to a manageable 4ft from the WNW, and the wind goes glassy. Dead calm. That’s the kind of session you dream about. The energy is a moderate 543, but with clean, smooth conditions, that’s a whole lot more fun than the big stuff the day before. This is your window for a proper, clean surf.
The rest of the week and into the next looks pretty average. A few days of marginal, onshore conditions, nothing that’ll get your heart racing. The last decent chance might be Saturday the 26th morning with a 6ft NW swell, but the wind is onshore and it’s a bit of a gamble. Overall, if you’ve got to pick, make it the glassy Wednesday afternoon or brave the Tuesday beast.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
