Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down Middleton Beach.
The first few days are a bit of a mess with strong winds, but don’t lose hope. The real sweet spots are Tuesday, July 7th and then a big pulse around Monday, July 13th.
Middleton Beach is a very sheltered spot, so it needs the swell coming from the right angle. The ideal direction is SSE, and we do get that through the period.
Starting Saturday, July 4th, there’s 3.0m swell from the SSW, but the wind is a cross-off at 12 mph from the north, and it’s just not coming together. The water temp is about average for this time of year. I’d skip it. Sunday the 5th is a total loss with 19 mph NNW winds and rain – wave energy is weak. Monday the 6th is no better with onshore winds and lumpy surf.
Now, here’s where it gets good. Tuesday, July 7th morning is glassy with a light north wind at 3 mph, and we’ve got a solid 12ft groundswell from the SSW with a very long period of 16 seconds. The combined energy is pumping hard (6397). This is clean, powerful, and only for experts at that size. The afternoon stays clean but drops to 10ft. This is the first real highlight.
Wednesday the 8th stays good: 8ft SW swell, cross-off winds, clean conditions. Solid energy (2960-2973). Thursday the 9th holds around 6-7ft with offshore winds. A nice run.
Friday the 10th turns ugly fast – strong WSW winds up to 25 mph and a short period windswell of 7-8 seconds. The energy drops hard. Stay out.
The weekend of July 11th and 12th brings back some size (10-12ft) from the SSW with moderate cross-off winds, but the quality is just okay. There’s energy (3325-4645), but no glass.
Now the big one – Monday, July 13th morning. This is the standout. Glassy again, light NNE wind at 3 mph, and a 12ft SSW groundswell with a 16-second period. The combined energy is massive (5437). The morning is even bigger at 13ft (7434 energy) – this is for experts only, and it’s going to be a serious session. The very long period means it’ll be better at a reef or point, but if you’re experienced, this is the one to chase.
Tuesday July 14th is also very good: 7-8ft, glassy, clean. Wednesday the 15th stays clean with moderate energy.
After that, it fades from Thursday July 16th through the following weekend – strong winds, choppy, dropping energy. The last notable pulse is Friday July 17th with 10-13ft SSW swell, but it’s got strong NW winds and rain, so it’s a long shot.
Bottom line: the best on offer is Tuesday morning July 7th, and the absolute standout is Monday July 13th. Both have glassy conditions, big groundswell, and serious energy. For experienced surfers, those are the days.
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.
