The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s be straight – what we’re looking at for Centreville Beach over the next couple of weeks is not something to set your alarm for. It’s a pretty bleak run of surf, with almost no decent windows.
Right now, and all through the rest of July and into early August, the wind is a problem. Almost every session is seeing a cross-onshore breeze, often blowing at 12–15 mph, which is more than enough to mess things up. Even when there is a bit of size – like on Sunday July 19th with waves around 7 ft – the period is short at 8 seconds and the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s not going to hold up. The water temperature is running much colder than normal for this time of year at 52°, so bring a thick suit if you’re even thinking about it.
There's one afternoon on Monday the 20th where the wind is light and the swell pushes to about 6 ft, but it’s still cross-onshore and short-period, so it’s marginal at best. The rest of the time, the combined energy of swells is sitting in the moderate range (often between 870 and 1300 units) but the cross-onshore winds just wreck any chance of a clean wave. Even when we see a long-period 21-second groundswell on Saturday the 25th morning (4 ft), it’s coming in under a 12 mph cross-onshore wind, making for a choppy mess.
Honestly, there’s nothing here that screams “go.” If you are a surfer, you’re better off sitting this one out and waiting for the forecasts to change.

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.
