The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Centreville Beach has got cooking for us over the next couple of weeks.
It’s a bit of a slow burner this time around. The first few days are looking pretty rough, with a lot of cross-onshore wind and choppy, messy conditions. Nothing really worth paddling out for from Thursday the 10th through to the middle of the next week. We’ve got a few small windows of light wind and even some glassy conditions popping up, but the swell is just too weak or short-period to get excited about. The combined swell energy is hovering in the moderate zone (567 to 600), but the wind is just ruining the party.
The first real standout is the afternoon of Wednesday the 16th. The wind goes glassy, the swell is a clean 4 ft from the NW, with a combined energy of 362. It’s not a massive day, but when it’s that clean, it’s worth the wait. The swell is a bit short-period (7 seconds) so it’ll be a bit crumbly, but for a session after work, you could do a lot worse.
Then, hold onto your boardies. The real gem is on Wednesday the 23rd of September. The morning brings a solid 8 ft groundswell from the NW, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined wave energy is a massive 1507, so there’s a lot of power in the water. That’s a serious step up. The wind is glassy, absolutely perfect. This is a big swell, over 8 ft, so this is strictly for experienced surfers. Beginners, stay on the beach for this one. The water temp is about 57°F, which is a touch cooler than usual for this time of year, so you’ll want a decent wetsuit.
After that, we get a nice run of cleaner, smaller days. The glassy conditions continue on the 24th with a 2 ft to 3 ft SW swell, and the energy is still decent (264 to 369). The morning of Friday the 25th offers a clean 2 ft SW swell with glassy conditions and a combined energy of 504. It’s a very good, fun little day to finish the forecast period.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a write-off. The best of the best is the big, clean groundswell on Wednesday the 23rd for the experts. For everyone else, aim for the glassy, smaller days on the 16th and the 24th and 25th.
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.
