G’day, Rusty here. I gotta level with you – there ain’t a single decent surf option for Centreville Beach over the next 16 days. From Sunday July 5 right through to Monday July 20, it’s all marginal or poor conditions. Best to sit this one out.
Water temp is 52°F, which is about 3°F colder than average – that’s noticeable.
Sunday July 5 starts with a small 2ft SW groundswell (14 sec, moderate energy around 302). Wind’s light onshore from the northwest, so it’s not clean. By afternoon, the swell picks up to 3ft but the wind stays onshore – not worth it.
Monday July 6 brings a bigger 6ft NW swell, but the period drops to a short 8 seconds – windswell. Wind is cross-onshore, choppy. Energy is moderate in the 800s, but quality is poor.
From Tuesday July 7 through Friday July 17, it’s rinse and repeat: small swells mostly 2–4ft, cross-onshore winds from the north or northwest at 10–16 mph. Energy varies from 300 to 900, but every session is “poor surf conditions” – messy and choppy.
Saturday July 18 sees the biggest swell: 8ft NW at 9 seconds, strong energy of 1547. But cross-onshore winds and short period make it a junkyard. At 8ft, it’s advanced only, and with those winds it’s more of a kiter’s day.
Sunday July 19 stays big, then Monday July 20 drops back to tiny 2–2ft SW swells with moderate cross-onshore winds. Nothing.
Centreville Beach is an advanced, fairly consistent spot that needs SW swell and clean wind – neither shows up in this 16-day window. No standouts, no hope. Maybe check another area.
Catch you next time,
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.
Centreville Beach is 27 km (17 miles) from Eureka. If you plan a vacation in Humboldt County, look for hotels and other accommodation in Eureka. Eureka has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
