Table - best surf conditions forecast for Centreville Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. This is a tough one to be honest. The entire 16-day window for Centreville Beach is looking pretty grim. There's a real drought of quality surf on the cards.
We start off on Sunday the 12th with a pulse of swell from the NW, pushing 6ft, but the wind is a messy cross-on from the NNW at 12 mph. The water is a very chilly 52°, which is a massive 4° colder than usual for this time of year. That's a serious anomaly. The wave energy is moderate (807), but the conditions are just poor, lumpy, and choppy. This continues right through the first week. The swell drops steadily, but the wind stays stubbornly cross-on or onshore, making a mess of things. The wave energy drops into the weak to moderate range (down to 264).
The only glimmer in the whole outlook comes on Saturday the 18th. The morning is still marginal, but the afternoon throws up a surprise. The wind goes glassy, with a light WSW breeze at just 3 mph. The swell is a small 3ft from the WNW with a period of 16 seconds, creating a combined energy of 636. That's moderate energy, and with glassy conditions, it could be the cleanest we see. It's a very small window, and the waves will be small, but for a patient surfer on a longboard, it might just be worth a paddle.
After that, it's back to the same story. Cross-on and onshore winds, poor surf conditions, and a general lack of any decent shape. The second week looks just as barren, with a brief spike of 6ft on the 22nd but ruined by strong cross-onshore winds. Don't hold your breath for that one.
The only standout, if you can call it that, is the Saturday afternoon glass-off. Keep an eye on the forecast, but for now, I'd be looking for something else to do.

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.

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.
