The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, this time in feet and miles. Let’s look at Centreville Beach.
Right off the bat, Saturday the 25th is the only real glimmer. We’ve got a 4ft swell out of the SW, but with a 21-second period, that’s proper groundswell energy. The combined swell energy is strong at 1433. The morning wind is offshore from the WNW at only 3 mph—that’s glassy. The water temp is about where it should be for this time of year. But the report flags it as "marginal" with questionable tides, so you’ll need to read the banks carefully.
Saturday afternoon the wind picks up a bit to 6 mph from the NNW and still offshore, but the quality dips.
Sunday the 26th is still showing a 4ft SW swell with a 19-second period, but the wind goes cross-onshore, making it choppy. That’s a shame for such a long-period swell.
From Monday the 27th all the way through the 8th of August, it’s pretty grim. Swell sizes drop below 3ft, often down to 1ft or 2ft, with cross-onshore winds blowing 10-16 mph. The combined swell energy is weak to moderate, often under 1000. It’s all labeled "poor surf conditions." That’s a two-week flat spell with nothing to write home about.
The next potential pulse comes Sunday the 9th of August. We see a 7ft swell from the NW, which is a big jump, but the period is short at 9 seconds. That’s windswell, not groundswell. The combined energy is moderate at 971. The wind is offshore from the NW at 6 mph, which would clean it up, but it’s a long way out and uncertain. On a beach break, a short-period 7ft wave can be a closeout mess.
The real call here: Saturday morning the 25th is your only true chance for something clean and lined up. After that, it’s a long wait. Hopefully the forecasts shift. As always, keep an eye on the horizon.
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.
