The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer down at Middleton Beach.

We’ve got a solid run of swell headed our way, but the wind is going to be the main character for the first week or so. The water is sitting at 65°F and that’s a notable 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s feeling a bit more like a late summer than heading into spring.

The first real standout lands on Monday afternoon, the 24th of August. Middleton Beach is seeing a clean 8ft SW swell, with a period of 13 seconds, and a light WNW breeze that’s offshore. The wave energy is strong at 2209, and it’s setting up for some really good surf. Keep in mind this spot is a very sheltered beach break and it’s inconsistent, so you’ll want to be patient between sets.

Tuesday the 25th has a morning of small, clean 4ft surf but with a 19 mph cross-offshore wind that’s messing with the quality. The afternoon picks up again with a 8ft SW swell, 13-second period, and a moderate offshore wind, but the energy is very strong at 2560. It’s worth a look if you can handle the wind.

Wednesday the 26th brings a solid 12ft SW groundswell in the morning, with a long 15-second period, but the wind is light and cross-shore, and the conditions are only marginal. By the afternoon, it jumps to 13ft SW at 18 seconds, but the wind turns cross-onshore and it’s fairly choppy. The energy is massive at 9801, but this is for experts only, and the wind is ruining the shape. It’s a kite-surfing kind of day if anything.

Thursday the 27th is a write-off with strong 19 mph cross-shore winds and lumpy conditions. Friday the 28th isn’t much better. Saturday the 29th has a 7ft SSW swell with a very long 19-second period in the morning, but it’s cross-onshore and choppy. The afternoon cleans up a bit with a 10ft SSW swell and an onshore wind, but it’s still marginal.

Now, the real gem is Sunday morning, the 30th of August. We’ve got a 10ft SSW swell with a long 17-second period, and the wind is a light offshore from the NNW. The wave energy is strong at 5616, and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. This is the best on offer in the first week, but that 10ft is for the experienced crew only.

Monday the 31st has a clean 7ft SW swell in the morning with a moderate offshore wind, but it’s not as clean as Sunday. The first week of September is a mixed bag. Tuesday and Wednesday are poor with onshore winds. Thursday the 3rd of September brings a 8ft SSW swell with a light offshore wind and clean conditions, so that’s a solid mid-week option.

The real standout of the entire 16-day window is Saturday the 5th of September. Both morning and afternoon sessions are excellent for experienced surfers, with a 12ft SSW swell, a 15-second period, and a light offshore wind. The wave energy is strong at 5868 in the morning and 5726 in the afternoon. This is a big, clean swell with good wind, and it’s the one to circle on the calendar. Sunday the 6th is still solid with a 10ft SSW swell and cross-offshore winds, but it’s not as clean as Saturday.

The last few days of the outlook continue to show a strong 10ft to 12ft SSW swell, but the wind is moderate to fresh, keeping it from being perfect. The 8th of September has a fresh offshore wind in the morning, which is worth a look for the experienced.

So, to sum it up: the first week is a battle with the wind, but Sunday the 30th of August is a proper standout for experienced surfers. The absolute best of the window is Saturday the 5th of September, with a big, clean, offshore swell. Tuesday the 3rd of September is a decent fallback. Everything else is marginal or blown out. Don’t expect much for beginners, most of this is too big.

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.
