Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the charts for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it’s a tough stretch ahead. We’ve got a long, dry patch right now with no quality waves on offer. The surf is just not cooperating for a while.

We are looking at just one spot, Centreville Beach. And even then, it’s a real mixed bag. The water is sitting at about 52°F right now, which is 4°F colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be wanting a thick steamer.

For the next several days, from Thursday the 2nd of July right through to Wednesday the 15th of July, it’s all “poor surf conditions” with only a couple of “marginal” windows. That’s about a two-week gap of nothing really worth paddling out for. The wind is a constant problem, mostly cross-onshore or cross-off from the north and northwest at 12 to 19 mph, keeping everything choppy and lumpy. The swell is all over the place in direction, but the wind just wrecks it.

We do see a little shift around Thursday the 16th of July into Friday the 17th. On Thursday afternoon, the wind eases to a light breeze from the north at 6 mph, with a 3ft SW groundswell at 16 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (755). It’s still cross-onshore, but the light wind means it might clean up a little. The swell direction is SW, which lines up with the optimum for the break. This is the closest thing to a highlight, but it’s still just “marginal” at best.

If you are desperate, keep an eye on the 17th of July morning. It shows an onshore wind from the NNW at 12 mph with a 3ft W swell at 16 seconds and a combined energy of 1021 (moderate energy). The wind direction is “on,” meaning it’s blowing straight into the beach. That setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, honestly.

There are just no standout sessions here. I’d give it a miss until the forecasts change for the better.

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.

Centreville Beach is 27 km (17 miles) from Eureka. If you plan a vacation in Humboldt County, look for hotels and other accommodation in Eureka. Eureka has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
