The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for Middleton Beach for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a slow start. The first couple of days are looking pretty average, so don’t get too excited just yet. There’s a big pulse of energy coming through, but the conditions are going to be fighting it.

Wednesday the 2nd is a write-off. You’ve got a solid 10ft SSW swell rolling in, but with a strong 16 mph cross-offshore wind, it’s just messy. The wave energy is high (3408), but it’s not doing us any favours. It’s a day for the kites, not the paddles.

Thursday the 3rd is where things start to get interesting. This is the standout of the whole outlook. We’ve got a proper 13ft SSW groundswell pulsing in, with a 15-second period. That’s a lot of water moving. The wind swings around to a clean offshore breeze from the NW at 12 mph, and the wave energy is pumping at 6123. This is for experienced surfers only – 13ft is heavy, and Middleton can get a bit wonky. If you’re skilled and confident, Thursday morning is your window. The wind stays offshore in the afternoon as well, dropping to an 12ft swell, so there’s a two-session day on offer for the crew that knows what they’re doing.

Friday the 4th is a downgrade. The swell is still chunky at 10ft, but the wind is back to a cross-offshore from the WSW at 22 mph in the morning. It’s clean, but it’s lumpy. The energy is still massive (6164), but the wind is just too strong for it to be truly enjoyable.

The weekend is a bit of a mixed bag. Saturday is a write-off with strong winds, and Sunday the 6th is blown out. You’ve got a 15ft SSW swell on Sunday morning, but with a 22 mph cross-shore wind, it’s just a washing machine. The afternoon cleans up with a lighter breeze, but the damage is done.

Looking into the second week, things are less certain, but there are a few windows. Monday the 7th sees a 13ft SSW swell with a 16-second period, and light winds. It’s clean, but the wave energy (7602) is pumping. It’s for the big-wave crew only.

Then we get a massive spike on Tuesday the 8th. A 16ft SSW swell with a 19-second period hits, and the combined energy is a staggering 16460. That is a monster. But the wind is onshore and choppy. I’d only recommend this for the absolute elite, and even then, it’s going to be a battle.

Wednesday the 9th is a nice reset. The swell drops to 10ft, and we get a clean offshore wind from the north. The afternoon is even better, with an 8ft swell and a light breeze. It’s the best bet for an average surfer in the second week.

After that, it’s a slow fade. The swell drops and the winds get messy. A few small windows of clean surf around the 11th and 15th, but nothing to write home about.

The best advice: if you’re an expert, make Thursday the 3rd your priority. For everyone else, aim for Wednesday the 9th.

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.
