The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve gotta level with you about Centreville Beach. Looking at the next 16 days, we’re in for a pretty bleak stretch. The swell and wind just don’t want to line up for any proper surf for the bulk of the forecast.
Right out of the gate on Saturday the 18th, we’ve got a clean-looking sky but the waves are poor with a strong 16-second groundswell only at 3 ft from the WNW, but a NNW wind messes it up. The wave energy is moderate at best (865), but that’s about as good as it gets for a while, which isn’t saying much. Sunday the 19th morning brings a jumbled 6 ft swell, but it’s short-period (8 seconds) and bumpy, so it’s just a messy closeout.
The real tease comes on Tuesday the 21st of July afternoon. The wind drops to dead calm and it goes glassy. Swell is a clean 3 ft from the SW (optimum direction for this spot) at 15 seconds. The wave energy is still low (396), but for a few hours, it could be lined up and workable on a good tide. That’s the only true standout windows. Wednesday morning the 22nd also goes glassy with a 3 ft south swell at 12 seconds, and with 488 moderate energy in the water, a few fun ones might roll through.
After that? It’s all downhill. From the 24th of July right through to the 2nd of August, we’re stuck in a pattern of moderate to fresh northerly cross-onshore winds, with swells that get chopped to pieces. The wave energy picks up into the strong range (1502 to 2892), but it’s all blown out and messy. Some of those days have 5 ft to 6 ft of swell, but with the wind howling at 12 to 15 mph cross-on, that’s not a paddle session—it’s more of a kitesurfing setup for anyone keen on that. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.
Honestly, if you want a wave, your best bet is that brief glassy window on Tuesday afternoon the 21st or Wednesday morning the 22nd. It’s small and inconsistent, but it’s clean. For the rest, I’d wait and see if the models change. It’s grim out there, but forecasts can flip.
Rusty.
