Table - best surf conditions forecast for Centreville Beach over the next 16 days.


Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Centreville Beach over the next couple of weeks.

To be straight with you, this stretch of the next 16 days is looking pretty grim. We’ve got a real dry spell on our hands. The first 11 days of the forecast are a write-off for any decent surf; the conditions are just poor, with a persistent cross-onshore wind and choppy, lumpy seas. It’s not until we hit the back half of the window that we see a slight glimmer of hope.

The best – and really the only – standout in this whole outlook is a small window on Saturday, July 18th. Through the morning and into the afternoon, the wind is forecast to swing around to the northwest, going *offshore* (on). This is a big deal, as it’s the only period of clean wind we see across the entire 16 days. The swell will be a modest but rideable 3 ft from the WNW, with a long period of 16 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, and even though the combined swell energy is considered moderate at 685 (morning) and 668 (afternoon), that long period should give the waves some shape and power. However, because it's a beach break setup, that long-period swell can sometimes make the waves a bit too straight and fat. It’s not going to be pumping, but it will be clean and glassy, which is a massive win compared to the rest of the run.

For the rest of the second week, the 17th of July and the 19th through the 22nd, the wind is either onshore or cross-onshore again, keeping things messy. The swell stays small, around 2 ft to 3 ft, with a mix of periods. Nothing really stands out as worth the paddle.

Centreville Beach is a fairly consistent spot, but we’re in a real lull here. The water temperature is sitting at 52°F with a -3° anomaly, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so don’t forget a good hood and booties.

Honestly, if you’re a beginner, the swell is small enough on the 18th, but the cross-onshore trash that dominates the rest of the window means the beach is set up for a kite session, not a surf session, for most of the period. Hold tight, and check the forecast again in a few days; it tends not to stay this poor for long.

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.
