The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Centreville Beach. The first few days are a total bust – the 31st and the 1st are weak and sloppy, not worth paddling out for. There’s a lull until things finally turn around.
The real deal comes on Thursday the 3rd. Thursday morning sees a solid 6ft swell from the WNW, with a 10-second period and strong energy. Wind is light cross-off from the SSW, so the waves should be clean and hollow enough for experienced surfers. That’s the highlight of the whole forecast.
Thursday afternoon the swell picks up to 7ft (WNW, 11 seconds) with energy going through the roof – 1339 – and the wind shifts to light offshore from the NW. That’s prime. Friday morning holds 7ft from the NW with offshore wind again and even bigger energy at 1663. That’s expert-only territory, not for the faint of heart.
After that, it fades fast. Saturday and Sunday drop to around 3ft and the wind goes cross-on, so conditions get choppy and messy. Water temp is around 56°F, a bit colder than usual, so bring the thick rubber.
There’s a small window on Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th with glassy conditions and a clean 2ft to 4ft NW swell – weak energy, but fun on a log or a fish. Nothing special.
Bottom line: Thursday the 3rd morning is your best shot for clean, solid surf. Friday morning is for the brave. Everything else is small or sloppy.

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.
