The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Centreville Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, it’s a tough start. The first few days are pretty much a write-off. Tuesday the 4th has a tiny 1ft SW swell with a long period of 16 seconds, but it’s onshore and the combined energy is a weak 76 – not even worth paddling out for. Wednesday the 5th sees a jump in size to 6ft from the NW but with a short period of 8 seconds and cross-shore wind, making it marginal at best. The wave energy is moderate at 512, but the conditions are choppy and it’s only really for the advanced crew. Thursday the 6th through to Tuesday the 12th of August is a long stretch of poor surf, with heights mostly between 1ft and 2ft, cross-onshore winds, and a lot of chop. The water temperature is sitting at 54°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year – about 3° below average, so you’ll want a thick wetsuit.
The only real standout window comes in the second week. On Saturday the 15th of August, we start to see a bit of promise. The morning has a 2ft SSW swell at 18 seconds, with a light cross-shore breeze and clean conditions. The combined energy is strong at 521. The afternoon gets a 3ft SW swell at 16 seconds, with a glassy cross-onshore wind – the combined energy jumps to 743. Sunday the 16th morning holds similar 3ft SW swell (755 energy) with light cross-onshore wind. This is the best on offer: it’s not huge, but the swell direction matches the optimum SW, and the light winds will keep it clean. The waves will be long-period groundswell, so expect nice shaped lines but with longer gaps between sets. It’s a fairly consistent spot, so you’ll get waves, but crowds are possible here – just a heads up.
Through to Wednesday the 19th of August, the swell drops back to 2ft to 2ft, but the wind goes light offshore or even glassy, making for clean, small waves. The combined energy is moderate (217 to 263). It’s not a standout, but if you’re desperate for a paddle, it’s the best of the tail end.
All in all, the pick of the fortnight is Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th of August. It’s not a classic, but those light winds and solid groundswell energy will give you the cleanest, most fun waves across the whole outlook.
Rusty.

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.
