The Lowdown

Hey crew, Rusty here. Let’s break down what Middleton Beach has in store for the next couple of weeks.

First up, don’t even bother for the first few days. From Friday the 28th of August to Sunday the 30th, it's a total flat spell with poor conditions. The water’s a touch warmer than average at 64°F, but the wind is all wrong and the waves are weak.

Things finally switch on Monday the 31st of August. A nice 8ft southwest swell at 16 seconds rolls in, with clean offshore winds from the WNW at 12 mph. This is your first real chance for a surf. There’s good energy behind it, but with that long period, be ready for some roping lines at this beach.

The real excitement builds through the first week. By Thursday the 3rd of September, the swell jumps to 13ft from the SW at 14 seconds. That’s a lot of water moving around, and the combined energy is massive. Winds are light and cross-off, so it’ll be clean but proper heavy. Not for the faint-hearted.

If you can wait, the absolute gem looks like Monday the 7th of September. We’ve got a 8ft southerly swell at 12 seconds with glassy conditions – less than 3 mph wind from the ENE. That’s a flat, clean ocean with decent power. That’s the morning to get excited about, though it’s over a week out, so stay tuned.

The second week keeps a mix of chest-to-head-high SW swells, but the wind is often messy, either cross-off or onshore, so the surface gets lumpy.

This one’s a waiting game, but there are some crackers in there.

Rusty, out.

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.
