Table - best surf conditions forecast for Middleton Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Middleton Beach.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next couple of days are gonna be frustrating. Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th are serving up some serious swell, with waves pushing 8 to 13 feet from the SSW, but the wind is just not playing ball. It’s cross-off, and the energy is massive (2452 to 7843), but the overall quality is marginal. It's that kind of messy, bumpy energy that makes you work for nothing. Not worth your time.
Monday the 13th is where things start to look a little more interesting. We’ve got a 13-foot SSW groundswell rolling through the morning with a seriously long 16-second period, pushing moderate energy (7088). The wind’s backed off to a gentle breeze, keeping it clean. The afternoon drops down to 8 feet, but the period stays at 16 seconds – that’s proper groundswell, with power. For experienced surfers, the afternoon is actually excellent, with clean conditions.
Tuesday the 14th is a standout. Clear skies, a light NNW breeze at 6 mph in the morning making for clean cross-off conditions, and a solid 10-foot SSW groundswell with a 15-second period. The energy is strong (4498). This is prime Middleton Beach – powerful, clean lines. The water temp is running about average for this time of year, so you won’t need a full 5/4, but don’t be fooled, winter is winter. Crowds are a possibility here, so get there early.
After that, Wednesday through Friday the 17th is a mixed bag. The swell holds but the wind gets up again. By Friday afternoon the 17th, the wind finally swings offshore from the NW, but the swell has dropped to 5 feet – surfable but ordinary.
Now, Saturday the 18th is a writing-off day. We get a 12 to 15-foot SW swell slamming in with a near-gale 31 mph offshore wind. The energy is through the roof (7744 to 11892), but that wind is just way too strong. For paddle surfing, it’s a no-go. Kite surfers and windsurfers are gonna be the only ones having fun.
Sunday the 19th is still big and messy – 16-foot SSW swell with a moderate breeze. Still not clean enough for a good paddle session.
Monday the 20th is another bright spot. A 10-foot S swell with a moderate offshore WNW wind at 12 mph. The conditions are set up for very good surf. Clean lines, decent power (2681). This is a good session for solid intermediate to advanced surfers.
Tuesday the 21st sees the swell drop to 5 to 5 feet from the SSW with a very long 15-second period, and light winds. It’s small but clean and very good – perfect for a longboard or a fish, but don’t expect heavy barrels.
Then, from Wednesday the 22nd through to the end of the outlook on Sunday the 26th, it’s a write-off. Onshore wind from the SSE and SE, building from 16 mph to 19 mph, and the swell is all over the place. Conditions are poor to unsurfable. It’s a frustrating run for an area that can be so good.
So, to sum it up: the best on offer is Tuesday morning the 14th for that clean, powerful groundswell, and Monday the 20th for a solid, clean session with a good offshore wind. Everything else is either blown out or too big and messy. Keep an eye on the forecasts – it tends not to stay poor for long.
Rusty.

Information about the Middleton Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Middleton Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Middleton Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Middleton 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 (Middleton 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 Middleton 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.
Middleton Beach is 8 km (5 miles) from Albany. If you plan a holiday in Far South of Western Australia, look for hotels and other accommodation in Albany. Albany has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
