The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead for Middles. We’re looking at a long, flat spell with nothing worth paddling out for. The forecast shows a solid 16-day run where the wave energy barely gets out of the weak zone (combined swell energy hitting between 7 and 115). The biggest bump we see is a fleeting pulse on the 8th of September, pushing 4ft from the ENE, but it’s got a short, weak period of 6 seconds and onshore wind from the NE at 15 mph. That’s just messy junkyard surf. Honestly, for this area, a blank run like this isn’t that unusual – it tends to go quiet, but forecasts can change. Right now, everything is “poor surf conditions,” so don’t bother checking the cam. Keep the board in the car for another week and hope something shifts.
Rusty.

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