The Lowdown

Hey, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down in feet and miles per hour.

The water’s sitting at about 65°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – a nice little bonus if you’re brave enough to get in.

Right now, it’s a bit of a slow start. The first real action worth paddling out for kicks off on Friday, July 31st. We’ve got a solid 10-foot SSW groundswell rolling in with a very long 17-second period, and the wind is offshore from the NW at 16 mph. That’s pumping a lot of energy into the bay – 4929 (combined energy) – so it’s got some serious grunt. But honestly, the wave comment flags it as marginal, likely due to tide or shape, so don’t expect perfection. That swell is too big for beginners, and the long period means it’ll be a bit fat and straight at this beach break – better for experienced crew only.

As we head into Saturday, August 1st, the swell bumps up to 16 feet in the afternoon, but the wind swings to a strong SW cross-off at 16 mph. That’s a lot of water moving, over 12007 (combined energy), but the conditions are rough and the wave comment isn’t singing. This is big, gnarly, and only for experts. The 16-second period keeps it groundswell, but it’s a handful.

Now, if you’re looking for a standout, I’d point you to Tuesday, August 4th in the morning. We’ve got a clean 10-foot SW groundswell with an 18-second period, offshore wind from the WNW at 6 mph, and the wave comment says “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers”. The energy is solid at 5858, and that light offshore breeze should keep the faces glassy. It’s a big swell, so leave the beginners on the beach, but for the experienced crew, this is the pick of the window.

Then Wednesday, August 5th is also looking sweet – 13-foot SW swell, 16-second period, light offshore wind from the WNW at 6 mph, and another “excellent” call. The 7381 energy is hefty, but the conditions are clean. Again, this is expert territory.

As we get into the second week, things get messy. Around the 8th and 9th of August, we’ve got howling winds – 31 to 34 mph from the SW and WSW – with 23-foot swell on the Sunday. That’s a lot of juice (32387 combined energy), but the wave comment is “poor surf conditions”. For a beach break, that’s more kite-surfing territory than paddle surfing. The wind is just too strong.

Later in the week, the 13th of August morning brings a smaller 7-foot SW swell with 15-second period and offshore wind from the WNW at 12 mph – that’s a more manageable size, and the energy is lower at 2537. The wave comment suggests “very good surf conditions”, so if you’re after a cleaner, less intense session, that could be your go. Still, the long period means it might be a bit straight, but the offshore breeze should help.

Overall, the first week has a couple of standout days for the experienced surfer, especially Tuesday and Wednesday the 4th and 5th. The second week is watery and windy, with only a few windows of cleaner conditions. Grab it while you can.

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.
