The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s take a look at what’s coming down the line for Middleton Beach.
First up, don’t get too keen for the immediate future. Saturday the 12th is a write-off with a huge 13ft SW swell and cross-off winds howling at 25 mph. Conditions are messy, and it’s marginal at best. The water temp is sitting at a touch warmer than average for this time of year, 63°, so it’s bearable but not tropical.
Sunday the 13th offers a bit more hope. Morning sees a cleaner 4ft SW swell with offshore WNW winds around 15 mph. The wave energy is still pumping (1621), but the period is a long 14 seconds – good for the reefs and points, but it might wall up on the beach. For a beginner spot, the size is manageable, though the period could make things a little tricky.
Monday the 14th jumps back up to a serious 12ft, but the wind goes onshore and the quality tanks. This is more of a kite-surf setup than something you want to paddle into with a shortboard.
The real standout in this entire 16-day window is the morning of Monday the 21st of September. The swell hits 15ft from the SSW, with a very long 16-second period, and it’s paired with a gentle breeze from the north (cross-off). The combined swell energy is massive at 10732 – that’s serious grunt. This is only for experts; over 8ft is a big warning for beginners and intermediates. The break is inconsistent, and it’s very sheltered from this SSE optimum direction, so it’s not a guaranteed show, but if it lines up, that morning will offer rare, powerful, and clean waves.
The next excellent call is Saturday the 26th of September in the morning. A clean 12ft SSW swell with a 15-second period and moderate offshore WNW winds at 12 mph. The energy (5975) is well into the strong zone. Again, this is a big day for experienced surfers. The break is inconsistent and sometimes crowded, so expect a few locals out for this one. After that, Sunday the 27th stays clean but gets windier – the quality drops off.
Outside of those two standout mornings (21st and 26th), the forecast is plagued with cross-onshore wind and lumpy, choppy conditions. There are long gaps of poor surf in between, especially from the 14th to the 17th and again later in the window. It’s a patchy run, but when it comes together, it packs a punch.
Stay patient. The 21st and the 26th are your best bets.
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.
