The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this sixteen-day stretch for Centreville Beach is looking like a write-off. I’ve scanned the charts and there’s simply nothing worth paddling out for. The whole window is a bust.
We start off with a bit of energy – on Tuesday the 28th there’s a 4ft SW groundswell, period a solid 17 seconds, and the combined energy reading is 1136, which is a decent amount of punch. But the wind is a cross-on from the north at 12 mph, and the wave comment is “poor surf conditions.” That’s the story for days. The water is sitting at 58°, which is about average for the time of year, but you won’t want to be in it with waves like this. Wednesday the 29th through Friday the 31st keeps the same pattern: a mix of SW and NW swells, but always that choppy, cross-onshore wind ruining any chance of a clean face. The swell height drops right down.
The weekend isn’t any kinder. Saturday the 1st of August shows a 6ft NW swell, but the period is a short, weak 6 seconds, and the wind is a fresh 19 mph from the north, making it lumpy. Sunday the 2nd is barely a ripple. There’s a big gap of nothing from the 2nd through to the 4th, with energy levels dropping as low as 62 on the 3rd.
Then, on Wednesday the 5th of August, things get a little interesting, but still not good. We see a 6ft NW swell, period 8 seconds. The wind finally swings to the SW at 6 mph, and it’s a light cross-shore breeze. The combined energy is 461, which is moderate. The guidance says “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions.” It’s a tease. Thursday the 6th has a similar 6ft NW swell, period 8 seconds, with light onshore wind, but it’s also marginal. The 12th of August shows a spike in energy to 803 with a 6ft NW swell, but again, the period is short and the wind is cross-on and choppy. It’s just not coming together.
For a beach break like Centreville Beach, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It’s a blank run. The forecast can change, but for now, there’s nowhere to go.
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.

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.
