Table - best surf conditions forecast for Middleton Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break down what's happening for the next couple of weeks at this one spot.
We're talking about Middleton Beach. This break is very sheltered and doesn't break often, so we're used to gaps in the action. Right now, we've got a quiet start before some real size shows up.
Thursday morning the 9th kicks off with a moderate 6ft SW groundswell with a long 14-second period. The wind is a clean offshore from the WNW at 12 mph. The wave energy is solid (1791). It stays clean through the afternoon as the swell drops a bit. A decent start.
Friday the 10th is a mess. Strong cross-offshore wind is going to ruin a bumpy 7ft swell. Leave the board at home.
Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th have the swell building, but it's cross-offshore all weekend. Saturday afternoon hits 8ft from the SSW, and Sunday pushes to 10ft. The energy climbs into the strong range (3705 and 4846). Expect fat, wind-affected waves. Not great, but there's power if you're keen.
Now, Monday the 13th is a true standout. Early morning you've got a solid 13ft SW groundswell with a very long 17-second period. The wind is a light offshore from the W at 9 mph. The wave energy is enormous (7835). This is excellent surf for experienced surfers only. That long period will set up beautifully at this break, and the offshore breeze will make it glassy. Tuesday the 14th holds quality with a 8ft SW swell and a clean cross-offshore breeze.
The middle of the week eases up, but then we're looking at another massive window. On Sunday the 19th, we get a huge 18ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the WSW at 6 mph. The wave energy is extreme (13614). This is another excellent day, absolutely for experts only.
Following that, Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st keep the swell solid between 12ft and 15ft with clean, light wind. This is a killer run. The last week fades, and the wind turns onshore, so hit the earlier days.
The two best windows are Monday the 13th and Sunday the 19th. Big, clean, powerful groundswell. If you're experienced, those are the days to lock in. For the rest of the time, there are cleaner, smaller windows mid-week. Just watch the wind.
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.
