Table - best surf conditions forecast for Middleton Beach over the next 16 days.
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a lot of swell coming down the pipe, but the winds are gonna be the real story. The first few days are a bit scrappy, but later on, we get a clean run of proper groundswells with offshore winds that’ll have you frothing. Just keep in mind, the big stuff is for the experienced crew.
Saturday, July 11th kicks off with a 7ft SW swell, but the wind is blowing cross-off from the WSW at 12 mph, making it a bit lumpy. The water is a touch warmer than usual at 65°F.
Sunday, 12th through Monday, 13th – The swell pumps up to 12ft to 13ft, still SW to SSW, but that cross-off wind is still hanging around. The energy is big, between 3328 and 7750, but the conditions are holding it back.
Tuesday, 14th is a tease. Morning is 7ft from the SW with a light breeze. It looks clean, but the wave comment says it’s marginal. The afternoon jumps to 10ft from the SSW, but the wind goes to a 3 mph cross. That’s glassy, but tricky.
Wednesday, 15th and Thursday, 16th – Swell stays solid, 7ft to 10ft, but the wind is howling from the NNW at 15-19 mph. That’s a lot of chop.
Friday, 17th – First real glimmer. Morning brings a clean 5ft SW swell with a moderate offshore WNW wind at 16 mph. The energy is a modest 1042, but those offshore conditions make it fun. The afternoon is messier, so be an early bird.
Saturday, 18th is a washout. Swell is massive (12ft to 13ft) and the wind is a brutal 25-28 mph from the W and WSW. This is kite-surfing territory, not paddling. The energy is stupid high at 15291.
Sunday, 19th – Redemption. Morning brings a 12ft SSW swell with a light 6 mph breeze. The comment says “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers.” This is a solid look for the good crew. The afternoon is a bit smaller at 10ft.
Monday, 20th – THE ONE. Morning is a standout. 13ft SSW swell, but the wind is clean offshore from the WNW at 9 mph. “Excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers.” The energy is strong at 4583. This is a proper session for the big-wave hunters. The afternoon stays clean with an 12ft swell.
Tuesday, 21st keeps the good times rolling with a clean 8ft S swell and offshore wind.
Wednesday, 22nd is another cracker. 10ft to 12ft SSW swell, offshore wind all day. The energy is building again, hitting 6824 in the afternoon. This is a top-tier run.
Thursday, 23rd – Monster alert. Morning sees a 16ft SW swell with a 9 mph N wind. This is a big, clean, powerful groundswell with a period of 17 seconds. The combined energy hits 23571. The comment says “exceptional surf conditions for expert surfers.” This is a once-in-a-while event for the experts only. The afternoon settles to a 10ft SSW swell.
Friday, 24th and Saturday, 25th – Swell is still solid (7ft to 12ft), but the wind picks up again, getting fresh and messy.
Sunday, 26th – Final day sees a 13ft SSW swell, but the wind is directly onshore from the SSW. It’s a cross-shore mess.
The Bottom Line:
If you’re experienced, the window from Monday 20th to Thursday 23rd is your goldmine. Offshore winds and solid SSW groundswells are the real deal. The Thursday 23rd morning is the absolute standout, but it’s only for experts. For everyone else, the Friday 17th morning and Sunday 19th offer the best chance at a clean, more manageable wave.
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.
