Table - best surf conditions forecast for Middleton Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening with the local surf. It’s a bit of a mixed bag ahead, but there are a couple of windows that are worth circling.
The 16-day outlook kicks off with a bit of a wait. The first few days are just too rough and messy to recommend, but things start to get interesting around Tuesday the 14th. That’s when we see a drop in the wind and a cleaner setup.
The standout day is definitely Tuesday the 14th. We’ve got a solid 7ft to 8ft SSW groundswell rolling in with a 15-second period. The wind is light and cross-off, which means the waves will be clean and well-shaped. The energy is buzzing at 3373, which is a decent amount of juice in the water. Middleton Beach is a beginner-friendly spot, but this size is pushing into intermediate territory. Still, if you’re looking for a proper session, this is the best on offer in the whole outlook. The water temp is sitting around average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The following Sunday, the 19th, also looks promising. The morning shows an 12ft SSW swell at 14 seconds with a gentle offshore breeze. The energy is even higher at 5305, and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. It’s a bit bigger, so this one is for the crew who can handle a bit more power. The crowd factor at Middleton can be an issue sometimes, so get in early if you want a clear lineup.
After that, things get ugly again. The 20th and 21st see strong onshore winds and messy conditions, and the 22nd whips up a massive 18ft swell but with a lumpy cross-shore chop that makes it a no-go for paddle surfing. That kind of setup is more for the kite crew.
The very end of the outlook, around the 23rd and 24th, shows another pulse of big swell—15ft to 16ft SSW—with offshore winds. The energy is huge (up to 13975), but it’s big, raw, and only for the experts. The wind is fresh offshore, so it’ll be clean, but you’d better be on your game.
So, in short: Tuesday the 14th is your best bet for a solid, clean session. Sunday the 19th is the runner-up for the more experienced surfer. The rest is either too big, too windy, or too messy. Lock in those days.
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.
