The Lowdown

Right, let's have a look at what's cookin' for Middleton Beach over the next couple of weeks. The long-range charts are showing some serious juice heading our way, but there's a bit of a wait and some rough weather to get through first. It's not a flat spell, but it sure ain't easy.

Alright, for Wednesday the 29th of July, we're starting off with a bit of swell. Middleton Beach is picking up a 7ft swell from the south, with a period of 11 seconds. The water's sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Combined wave energy is pumping at 2624, so there's plenty of push. The wind is a gentle N at 9 mph, making it cross-offshore and clean. It's a solid option for a beginner to get out, but don't expect perfection. The afternoon gets a bit more iffy with a cross-shore breeze.

Thursday the 30th looks smaller, with a 4ft SSW swell hanging around. The NNW wind stays cross-offshore, keeping the face clean in the morning. The swell energy drops to 1108, so it's weaker but still fun for a log or a mid-length.

Friday the 31st is where it starts to get interesting but messy. We've got a 10ft SSW groundswell arriving in the morning, with a period of 16 seconds. That's a long-period swell, which is good for shape, but at a beach break like Middleton, it can break a bit straight. The morning is blown out by a strong 16 mph NW wind, pushing the wave energy up to 4801. The afternoon gets a bit better with a 19 mph offshore wind from the west, cleaning it up, but with an 12ft swell, it's pushing into the "too big for beginners" territory.

Saturday the 1st of August gets even bigger, hitting 13ft from the SW in the morning and then a massive 16ft from the SSW in the afternoon. The combined energy is through the roof, over 11000 in the afternoon. This is expert-only territory. The wind is onshore or cross-shore, making it a choppy mess. Not a day for the faint of heart. Honestly, with the swell size and the wind, this set-up looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

Sunday the 2nd drops back a bit to the 7ft range, but it's still a bit lumpy with a cross-shore breeze. The energy is moderate at 3047.

Now, Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th of August show some promise. Monday sees a 5ft SSW swell with a long 15-second period and clean conditions. Tuesday morning is where it gets good for the experienced crew: a 10ft SSW groundswell at 17 seconds with light offshore winds. The combined energy is a strong 5728, and it's clean. That's a standout window for the big-wave chargers.

Wednesday the 5th of August is another serious contender. An 12ft SSW groundswell with a 12 mph offshore wind from the WNW. Clean faces, powerful lines. Wave energy is 5369. This is excellent for those who can handle it. Thursday the 6th stays solid but gets a bit wind-affected again.

Friday the 7th of August is the real beast. We're looking at a 21ft SW swell in the morning, with the afternoon seeing an 18ft SW swell, clean and offshore. The wave energy numbers are monstrous—over 13000 in the afternoon. That's very strong energy, only for the most experienced locals.

The following Saturday and Sunday are massive again, with 13-23ft swells, but the wind turns onshore and strong, creating a messy, dangerous situation. The Monday the 10th of August is a standout for raw power, with a 30ft SSW swell at a 19-second period! The wave energy hits a staggering 91347 in the afternoon, but the report warns it's predicted to be too big for this break. Tuesday the 11th looks like the best bet for the second week, with a 15ft SSW swell and clean offshore winds, energy at 9238. Excellent for experts.

Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th see the swell drop to more manageable 8ft to 20ft range, with the 13th of August being a real highlight. The morning has a 20ft SW swell with near-calm winds, and the afternoon turns glassy with a light SSE breeze. That's about as clean as it gets for a big swell. Perfect conditions for the dedicated crew.

Overall, there are some absolute monsters coming, but you'll need to pick your windows. The best of the best for the experienced surfer are the mornings of Tuesday the 4th, Wednesday the 5th, and Friday the 7th of August, plus the glassy Thursday the 13th. For the average surfer, the early days are small and clean, but the big stuff is relentless.

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.
