Alright, let’s break this down for Middleton Beach. It’s a tough start, but if you’ve got patience, there’s a serious payoff coming.

Right now, on Thursday the 9th, the surf is clean but just okay. You’ve got a 6ft swell from the SW with a long 14-second period, and the wind is offshore from the WNW. It’s surfable, but the water’s at 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The wave energy is solid at 1806, but it’s not a standout. Friday the 10th and Saturday the 11th are looking messy with strong cross-off winds and jumbled conditions. The swell gets bigger, up to 10ft on Saturday, but the period drops and the wind is just not cooperating. It’s a big, unruly mess.

The real story starts next week. Sunday the 12th is still marginal, with a big 10ft SSW swell at 15 seconds. The wave energy is massive (5135), but the wind is cross-off, keeping it clean but a bit too raw for most. Monday the 13th is where you need to be. We’re talking a solid 13ft SSW groundswell with a very long 16-second period. The combined energy is a monstrous 8085 – that’s serious power. Wind is a light cross-off from the W, so it’ll be clean. This is big, powerful, expert-only territory. If you’re not comfortable in waves over 8ft, stay on the beach. Tuesday the 14th holds the energy with an 12ft SSW swell, still 15 seconds, and a light offshore breeze from the N. The morning will be excellent for experienced surfers, but it’s still a heavy, long-period swell that will be better on a reef or a point than a beach break. The crowds are listed as “sometimes” so you might have some company, but it’s worth it for the quality.

After that, it drops off again. Wednesday the 15th through the 21st is a real mix of fresh winds and deteriorating conditions. Swell sticks around, but the wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore, creating chop. There’s a brief glimmer on the morning of Wednesday the 22nd of July, when the wind goes glassy and a 5ft SSW groundswell with a 15-second period rolls in – that would be a clean, fun session for the faithful, but it’s a brief window.

Then, the last standout is on Thursday the 23rd of July. The morning brings a 7ft SW swell at 14 seconds with a light cross-off breeze. Clean, very good conditions. The energy is back up to 2074. That’s a much more manageable size for a confident intermediate.

Finally, on Friday the 24th of July, we see a massive 16ft, 18-second period storm swell from the SSW. The combined energy is a ludicrous 15864. The wind is onshore from the SSE, making it a choppy, dangerous, and unmanageable mess. That’s a hard pass for paddle surfing; it looks more like a tow-in or kite-surfing day if you’re crazy enough.

So, to sum it up: the first week is a write-off for good waves. The best bet is Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th of July for the big, powerful, clean groundswell – but that’s for experts only. The next best is the morning of Thursday the 23rd of July for a more manageable size and clean conditions. The rest of the time, it’s mostly a waiting game.

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.
