Table - best surf conditions forecast for Middleton Beach over the next 16 days.


Alright, here’s the deal for Middleton Beach over the next couple weeks.

We start off with a slow burn. The water is sitting at about 66°F — a little warmer than average for this time of year, which is nice. But the first few days (Monday the 13th through Thursday the 16th) are messy. Plenty of swell — we’re talking 13ft on Monday morning from the SSW, with a 16-second period, putting out a massive 7088 energy reading — but the wind is cross-off and the quality is only marginal. For a sheltered, inconsistent beginner break, this combination just doesn’t work well. That long period groundswell will make it close out on a beach setup.

Friday the 17th drops right off — small and poor, forget it.

Then we have a standout. Saturday the 18th brings an offshore breeze from the WNW, and by the afternoon the swell pumps up to 15ft from the SSW, 16-second period, energy reading 10248. That is a lot of power. The offshore wind will make it look beautiful, but at that size, it’s only for serious experts.

The best all-round session is Sunday the 19th. Clean 8ft SSW swell, 14-second period, with a moderate offshore wind in the morning easing to a light offshore in the afternoon. Energy around 2369. The waves will be well-shaped, clean, and manageable for a strong intermediate. Crowds are possible, but worth the risk.

From Monday the 20th through Wednesday the 22nd, the wind gets ugly — too strong, either cross-off or a heavy offshore that’s impossible to paddle into.

Looking further out, Thursday the 23rd (over a week away) fires up again with 12ft from the SW, 17-second period, offshore wind, and energy of 7387. Again, that’s expert-only territory.

The second week’s best bet is Sunday the 26th: moderate offshore, 7ft SSW swell, 16-second period, energy at 3120. Clean, solid, long-period groundswell with good wind. It’s promising — but keep an eye on it, long-range forecasts can shift.

Best bets: Serious surfers — Saturday the 18th afternoon or Thursday the 23rd. For everyone else, Sunday the 19th is your day, and maybe Sunday the 26th if the forecasts hold.

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.
