The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
First up, we’re looking at a run of solid swell for Middleton Beach, but it’s a bit of a mixed bag with the wind. The water is runnin’ a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, feelin’ just a little more comfortable than you’d expect in July.
Monday the 20th is where we kick things off. Clean, moderate offshore breeze from the WNW, with a 6ft to 6ft SSW swell rolling in at 12 seconds. The combined energy is strong at 1358, and conditions are lookin’ good. It’s a decent start, but the real standout is gonna be Tuesday the 21st despite the cross-off wind. The swell jumps up to 7ft to 8ft from the SW and SSW, with a longer period of 13 to 14 seconds, and energy levels are pumping at 2336. The waves will have some real grunt, but it’s gettin’ a bit sizey for the beginners. Keep an eye on the tide.
Wednesday the 22nd sees the swell pumping hard at 12ft, but the wind is cross-on from the SSE, making it choppy and messy. The energy is massive at 5667, but the quality is gone. The rest of the week into the weekend is a frustrating mix. Thursday the 23rd still has a solid 8ft SSW swell, but the wind is all over the place. Friday the 24th looks cleaner with a lighter 4ft to 5ft SSW swell and offshore/near-calm winds, a nice reset for a session.
Then the second week gets a bit grim. The swell drops off and the wind stays unfriendly. You’ll see a few pulses of 7ft to 8ft swell, but the wind is mostly cross or cross-on, with a lot of chop. There’s a brief window of hope on Monday the 3rd of August with a clean 5ft SSW swell and light offshore wind, but it’s a small window.
The absolute best of the whole forecast, the one to pencil in, is Tuesday the 4th of August. Late in the afternoon, we’re lookin’ at a 15ft SW swell and a period of 17 seconds, with a clean offshore wind from the NW. The combined energy is a massive 12412. That’s a proper, powerful groundswell with long-period lines. For experienced surfers only at that size, but if you’ve got the skills, that’s the session to aim for. It’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it.
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.
