The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming down the line for Centreville Beach.
Alright, let's be straight with you. The first week of September is a bit of a write-off. We're looking at small, weak swells and a lot of choppy, cross-shore wind. The water is sitting at 56°, which is a bit colder than we'd expect for this time of year, so you'll want a decent wetsuit. Tuesday the 1st has a small 4ft NW swell in the morning, with a clean face and a light cross-off S wind, but the combined energy is only 429. It's surfable, but nothing to get excited about. Wednesday and Thursday are messy with onshore winds and rain, so don't bother.
The first real standout, and the only one worth planning around, is Thursday morning, September 3rd. We've got a solid 6ft NW swell building, and the combined energy jumps right up to 1260, so there's some proper juice behind it. The wind is a gentle cross-off from the SSW, keeping things clean. This is a nice, punchy swell that should be offering some fun waves. The next morning, Friday the 4th, is also worth a mention. The swell has dropped a touch to 7ft, but the wind is pure offshore from the NNW, and it's a light breeze. That's a recipe for some clean, glassy lines, but the combined energy is a bit lower at 1523. It's a solid option, but Thursday morning feels like the pick of the early days.
After that, the surf fades away again. From Saturday the 5th right through to Monday the 14th, it's a long stretch of small, weak swells, poor conditions, and onshore winds. There's a bit of a pulse on Monday the 14th with a 5ft NW swell, but the wind is cross-on, so it's going to be choppy. Not worth the drive.
Looking further out, Wednesday morning, September 16th, shows some promise. A 6ft WNW swell with a light offshore wind from the NNW and good energy (1345) could be a decent end to the run. It's a long way out, so take it with a grain of salt, but it's the best-looking option in the second week.
So, my call is: Thursday morning, September 3rd, is your best bet. Get out there early for the cleanest surf. Friday the 4th is a close second for the glassy conditions. The rest of the time, you're mostly looking at small, choppy slop.
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.
