The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break down the waves at Middleton Beach. It’s a real sheltered setup, so it doesn’t fire often, but we’ve got some action coming through.
It all kicks off on Monday, August 24th. We’ve got a solid 2.5m swell from the SW, with a nice long 14-second period. The wind is light and offshore, WNW in the morning, making it glassy. Water temp is 68.8°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year. The combined energy is high (2981), meaning there’s plenty of power. This is the best session of the whole outlook. For a beginner-friendly sheltered spot, 2.5m from the right direction and clean wind is a treat.
Tuesday the 25th is mixed. Morning is weak: 1.1m SW swell with a strong cross-offshore wind, poor quality. Afternoon the wind goes offshore and the swell bumps back up to 2.5m with a 13-second period. Decent, but not the best.
Wednesday the 26th is a big one. Early morning: 3.0m SW swell, 15-second period, wind is dead calm. Combined energy is pumping (7039). That’s powerful, clean, groundswell. But at 3.0m, it’s expert-only. The very long period (15 seconds) can make it break a bit straight at a beach-and-reef setup, but with glassy conditions, it’ll be clean. The afternoon turns onshore and messy: 4.0m swell with 18-second period, but choppy. Kite surfers might love it, paddle surfers should stay away.
Thursday the 27th is a no-go with strong cross-shore wind and lumpy 3.5m swell.
Friday the 28th – swell drops to 1.6m, but wind is cross-shore and lumpy. Not worth it.
Saturday the 29th – a slow recovery. Morning: 1.9m SSW swell with a very long 16-second period, light cross-onshore wind. Combined energy is moderate (2602). Afternoon gets clean: glassy, 3.0m SSW swell, very long period (17 seconds), light onshore wind. The long period and direction might make for clean but straight lines. Solid for those in the know.
Sunday the 30th is clean: 3.0m SW swell (16 seconds) with a light cross-offshore wind. Strong energy (4316). The afternoon stays clean at 2.5m with the same period.
Monday the 31st stays clean: 2.2m SW swell (17 seconds) and light cross-offshore wind. High energy (2776).
Tuesday September 1st is moderate: 1.8m SW swell (15 seconds), moderate offshore wind. Energy is moderate (1475). The afternoon gets too windy.
Wednesday September 2nd: 2.5m SW swell (13-14 seconds) with moderate offshore wind. Strong energy (2749, 2898). Clean, but rain showers in the afternoon.
Thursday September 3rd: big morning – 3.0m SSW swell (14 seconds), moderate offshore wind. High energy (3625). Afternoon still big but cross-offshore wind. Expert only.
Friday September 4th: 1.8-1.9m SW swell, moderate offshore wind in the morning. Energy around 1600. Okay.
Saturday September 5th: messy with strong wind (25-30 mph), big 3.5m SW swell. Kite surf conditions.
Sunday September 6th: still windy, 2.0-2.1m SW swell. Skip it.
Monday September 7th: swell turns short-period S swell (2.5m, 8 seconds). Weak and poor.
Tuesday September 8th: small and cross-onshore (1.0-1.7m). Nothing.
The standout is Monday August 24th: 2.5m SW, long period, glassy, water a touch warmer. That’s your best bet. Expert surfers can look at Wednesday the 26th early morning for a big, clean 3.0m swell. There’s a decent clean

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.
