The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming our way.

Alright, strap in, because Middleton Beach is about to get a whole lot of attention, but it's not all plain sailing. The next few days are going to be a bit of a grind before we hit some proper juice. The water is sitting at 63°F, which is a touch warmer than you'd usually expect for this time of year, so the wetsuit might feel a little less heavy.

We kick things off on Tuesday the 1st of September, and honestly, it's not looking great. We've got a 7ft SSW swell, but with a stiff 16 mph W wind making it cross-off, the surf is marginal and the tide is questionable. The energy is strong though, at 2348. Wednesday the 2nd is more of the same, a bigger 10ft swell but the wind stays cross-off and it's still just marginal. It’s not the kind of surf that makes you want to get out of bed early.

Now, Thursday the 3rd is where it gets interesting. Thursday morning is the standout for the whole run. The swell is a solid 12ft from the SSW with a long 15-second period, and the wind swings to a clean offshore from the WNW at 12 mph. The wave energy is through the roof at 5759, and for the experienced surfer, this is the call. The sets will have serious push, and the offshore wind will have them standing up nicely. Just remember, with that size and period, it’s expert territory. Thursday afternoon is still good, but the wind picks up a little.

Friday the 4th gets messy. A 10ft swell but the wind goes cross-off from the SW, and the quality drops, with a score that’s a bit of a letdown. Friday afternoon actually sees the biggest swell of the week at 13ft, but the wind is still cross-off, keeping it marginal. The wave energy is huge at 8317, but the conditions just aren't lining up for a clean session. Saturday the 5th is a write-off, with near-gale force winds from the SW at 34 mph on Saturday afternoon making a mess of things. That’s more of a kite-surfing day than a paddle-in session.

We get a bit of a lull from the 6th to the 10th of September. The swell stays up, mostly 8ft to 15ft with very long period (15-16 seconds), but the wind is mostly cross-off, keeping things marginal. The wave energy remains strong, climbing to 9902 on Monday afternoon the 7th, but again, the wind is the gatekeeper. The real highlight is Thursday morning the 3rd.

From Friday the 11th onwards, the size drops right off. Swell drops to 5ft to 6ft, and the energy fades away. Sunday the 13th looks poor with a strong 25 mph W wind, and by the time we get to Monday the 14th, we have a 8ft swell with offshore wind, but it's still marginal. After the 14th, the trend is down, with the 16th showing a spike to 10ft again, but with fresh SW winds making for lumpy conditions. The one to circle on the calendar is Thursday the 3rd of September. That’s your big, clean day if you’ve got the experience.

Stay safe out there.

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.
