Alright, Rusty here. Gonna level with you – looking at the full 16-day picture, there’s absolutely nothing worth paddling for at Middles/Generals. It’s a long, frustrating stretch of zero good surf.
Right from the start, all the way through, every single session is surfable only in the worst way. That ENE wind is relentless, ripping cross-shore at 18 to 25 mph, just tearing the surface up. You’ve got lumpy cross-chop and messy, blown-out conditions day after day. No let-up.
There’s some consistent swell in the water – like on Monday July 6th with 7ft of short-period ENE windswell (combined energy moderate at 976), and again Saturday July 11th with 7ft (energy 737) – but it’s useless. The wind kills any chance of a decent wave.
For a spot that’s intermediate, fairly consistent, and exposed to ESE swells, this is a proper drought. Water temp is about 80°, normal for the time of year, but that’s the only thing that’s average. Honestly, with the swell size and those strong cross-winds, this setup looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
It doesn’t usually stay this bad for this long, but right now it’s a blank run. Forecasts can flip, so don’t write it off completely, but for the next two weeks? Leave the board at home.
Rusty.

Information about the Middles/Generals Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Middles/Generals provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Middles/Generals can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Middles/Generals 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 (Middles/Generals) 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 Middles/Generals 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.
