Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's comin' up for Centreville Beach. I've got to be straight with you—the next two weeks are lookin' tough, a real challenge for anyone tryin' to get a decent wave.
The whole period is filled with poor surf conditions. The wind is almost always a problem, blowin' cross-onshore, which just trashes the surface. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothin' unusual to report there. But the real issue is the lack of quality. From the start of the forecast on July 7th right through to July 22nd, there isn't a single standout session that I'd recommend paddlin' out for.
We kick off on Tuesday, July 7th, with some SW swell around 3ft, and a very long period of 19-20 seconds from a groundswell. The combined wave energy is strong (1056-1109), but the wind is a moderate breeze from the NNW, blowin' cross-onshore and makin' it choppy. The forecast even flags marginal surf or questionable tide conditions, so it's a scratch for the most part.
The pattern continues day after day. July 8th and 9th see similar SW swell, but the period drops, the energy stays moderate (971 down to 525), and the wind stays on it. Friday, July 10th, is interesting for a second—a 6ft NW swell pops up, but with a short period of 8 seconds and cross-onshore wind, it's just a messy, weak (726) closeout. That's not the one.
There's a bit of a lull from July 11th through the 16th. Swell sizes dip below 3ft often, with poor conditions across the board. The wind is relentless, and many days have the wave state described as "moderate cross-onshore and choppy."
Then on Friday, July 17th, we see a bigger pulse of NW swell again, 6ft, but with a short 10-second period. The combined energy jumps up to 1333—which is strong—but the wind is 12 mph from the north, cross-onshore, choppy, and it's flagged as marginal again. It's a no-go. After that, it's more of the same through to the end of the 22nd, with small swells and onshore wind patterns.
So the honest truth is, for Centreville Beach over the next 16 days, there is nothing on offer that's worth paddlin' out for. It's a blank stretch from here to Wednesday, July 22nd. Hold tight, check back with me later. The forecasts can always change.
Rusty.

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.
