The Lowdown
Imperial version
Alright, Middleton Beach crew – Rusty here. This stretch is usually a real sheltered, inconsistent little number, and we’ve got a weird mix of SW‑groundswells rolling in over the next 16 days. Not the ideal SSE direction the spot prefers, but there are a few windows where it all lines up nicely. The first week has plenty of size – often over 5 ft – so beginners will want to pick their moments. The second week settles into a cleaner pattern, with a couple of real standouts.
Thursday 16 July starts with a 7.5 ft SW swell (2416 combined energy) and a moderate offshore breeze – clean enough for those who know the bank. Afternoon kicks up with a 7.5 ft, 14‑second groundswell and a consistent offshore wind (12 mph), the sea glassy and inviting. That’s a solid day for intermediate and up. Friday 17 July drops to a more manageable 4.6 ft with a light cross‑off wind – much better for beginners or anyone wanting a smaller, cleaner wave. Still inconsistent, but the morning session is worth a paddle.
Saturday 18 July gets big again – 8.2 ft in the morning with a strong 25 mph offshore (3984 energy) – hard to paddle into and purely for experts. Sunday 19 July offers a 6.9 ft, 14‑second swell with a steady offshore breeze (16 mph, 2270 energy). Clean, solid,

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.
