The Lowdown
Text 2 (Imperial):
Alright folks, let’s call it like it is. The next ten days here at Centreville are a test of your dedication. There’s surf, but it’s tiny, and the onshore wind is doing it no favors. The water temp is about normal for this time of year, so keep the rubber on.
Starting this Friday the 14th, we have a faint 2ft SW groundswell with a long 15-second period. The morning is the only chance, with a light offshore NW breeze, but the overall energy is weak (493). It’s a real longboard day at best. The afternoon gets worse as the breeze shifts cross-onshore and the wave drops to 1ft.
The weekend into next week is just a mess. Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th have the swell slightly bigger at 2ft to 3ft, but the wind is on it, creating a short, choppy period. The energy is moderate (543 to 631), but it’s all surface chop with no power. Monday through Wednesday, the 17th through the 19th, is more of the same: small, weak, and cross-onshore. The swell hangs around 2ft to 3ft, but the period is inconsistent and the waves are junk.
Thursday the 20th gives a slight hope with a 3ft WNW swell, but the period has dropped to 11 seconds and it’s still a marginal morning. The wind is okay, but the swell is unorganized and weak. Friday the 21st and Saturday the 22nd see the energy just drain away, dropping to 364 and then 267. By the 22nd, we’re down to 1ft of slop.
The second week starts with a weak 2ft pulse Monday morning. But hold on—Monday afternoon shows a jump to 6ft from the NW, but with a jumbled 7-second period. That’s pure windswell and it’s going to be a closeout. The energy is strong (699), but you’d need a jet ski, not a paddle. It is not a surfing wave.
After that, it settles back down to the 2ft range for Tuesday and Wednesday with light winds. The very end of the period, Friday the 28th, shows a bit of life with a 3ft S swell and a 14-second period. The morning wind is decent, but it’s still flagged as poor. It’s a long way out, so it’s a maybe, a hint of something better. But for now, this is a tough stretch. I’d keep the board in the car and maybe find a lake or a pool. It just looks like a kitesurfer’s paradise out there for most of this time.

A general guide to surfing at Centreville Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
