The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it.

We've got a long outlook ahead for Middleton Beach, a very sheltered spot that's pretty inconsistent. The swell is coming from a direction that's about as far from ideal as it gets, so we're not dealing with the best setup. The first proper surf option doesn't hit until the afternoon of the 3rd of August.

Before that, the first few days of the forecast period are a write-off. Friday the 31st of July starts with a solid 10ft SSW swell, but it's coming from a very sheltered angle and the wind is howling out of the NW at 16 mph. The combined energy is a massive 4929 (moderate), but it's messy and the tide is questionable. Keep your board in the car. That trend continues right through the weekend with big, messy, cross-off wind swell that's just not worth the paddle out.

Right, so the first real window opens up on Monday the 3rd of August. The morning is still a bit marginal with a 5ft SSW swell, but by the afternoon things get interesting. The wind goes light offshore from the WNW at only 3 mph, and the swell bumps up to 7ft from the SSW with a nice long 16-second period. The combined energy is 1897 (moderate). It's on the smaller side, but it'll be clean. For a sheltered spot, that's a start.

Now, the standout period is a few days later. Tuesday the 4th of August is where it's at. The morning sees a 10ft SSW swell pumping in with a very long 18-second period, and the wind is offshore from the WNW at 12 mph. The combined energy is a solid 6074 (moderate). This is expert territory – over 8ft – but if you've got the skills, the clean, long-period lines will be epic. The water is sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that's a bonus.

Moving into the second week, the pattern holds. Wednesday the 5th of August is another cracker with a 13ft SW swell and light offshore winds in the morning. The combined energy climbs to 7381 (moderate). Again, big and clean for the experienced crew.

The real monster pushes through on Friday the 7th of August. The morning is a solid 20ft SW swell, but the wind is a cross-off at 16 mph. The afternoon is the pick: an 18ft SW swell with a 14-second period, offshore WNW wind at 16 mph, and a combined energy of 12182 (strong). That's a serious session for the big-wave chargers.

Saturday the 8th of August is insane but dangerous. A 23ft SW swell in the morning with a 15-second period, but the wind is a strong offshore at 28 mph. The combined energy hits 21577 (very strong). It's a battle just to get out. The afternoon is a total bust with a near gale blowing, so that's a pass.

The following week continues to see big energy. Wednesday the 12th of August is the next real standout. The afternoon sees a 20ft SW swell with a 17-second period, but the wind cranks onshore from the SW at 25 mph. The combined energy is a massive 36575 (very strong). That's a lot of power, but it'll be a messy, blown-out beast. The morning of Thursday the 13th of August is your best bet late in the run: a 16ft SW swell with a 17-second period and glassy, clean conditions. The combined energy is 13401 (strong). That's a rare, clean moment for the experts.

All in all, Middleton Beach is a tricky spot. It's inconsistent and very sheltered, so when it's on, it's on, but when it's not, it's a complete zero. For the average surfer, there's not much to get excited about. For the experienced crew, the 4th and 5th of August, and the 13th of August morning, are your windows. The setup is big, clean, and powerful, but it's only for those who know what they're doing.

Rusty out.

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.
