The Lowdown
Alright, let’s shift gears to feet and Fahrenheit. Centreville Beach is looking like a tough stretch. The forecast covers 16 days, and we’re in for a long, quiet spell before anything decent shapes up.
The first real shot is on the morning of Wednesday, July 29th. We’ve got a 4-foot swell from the SW, with a very long 16-second period—that’s pure groundswell energy. But the wind is a cross-onshore from the N at 12 mph, kicking up chop. The combined wave energy is strong (1165), and the water sits at 57°, which is about average for the moment. The report flags it as "marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions," so it’s a low-confidence call. After that, it’s a ghost town. The wind stays cross-onshore, the swell shrinks, and the conditions are just poor right through the weekend and into the next week.
There’s a spike on Wednesday, August 5th, with a 10-foot NW swell—that’s big, over 8 feet, so only for experts. The period is a short 9 seconds, and the wind is 15 mph cross-onshore, making it lumpy. The combined energy is massive (1430), but for a beach break, it’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session.
The only standout is at the very end. On the morning of Wednesday, August 13th, we get a light breeze from the WNW at 6 mph, turning into a clean offshore wind from the NW in the afternoon. The swell is a small 3 feet from the SW, with a long 16-second period. It’s small, but with clean, glassy conditions, it’s your best bet for a cruiser session. The combined energy is moderate (642). It’s a long way off—over a week out—so keep your fingers crossed, but don’t hold your breath.
Bottom line: the next week and a half is a bust, but the tail end of the forecast offers a quiet, clean little window. Rusty out.

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.
