The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s dive into what’s coming up at Middleton Beach over the next few weeks. It’s a sheltered, inconsistent beginner spot, and the water temp is running about average for this time of year—nothing unusual there.
The real standout is Thursday morning, August 13th. We’ve got a 13ft SSW groundswell with a very long period of 16 seconds, and the combined energy is massive at 9075. A light offshore breeze from the WNW will keep it glassy—perfect for the experienced crew. It’s a serious wave, but the quality is there.
Thursday morning, August 20th, is another one to watch. Swell is 12ft from the SSW, period 16 seconds, combined energy of 5824, with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNW. Again, it’s big, so it’s for the skilled surfers, but the conditions are excellent.
Thursday afternoon, August 20th, keeps the momentum with 10ft SSW swell, 15-second period, and a gentle N breeze—clean and inviting for the crew that can handle it.
The rest of the forecast is a bit of a struggle. There’s a stretch of poor conditions from August 24th through the 26th, with strong cross-onshore winds and choppy waves. But on Thursday morning, August 27th, we see a return of 13ft SSW swell with a 14-second period and a light offshore breeze from the WNW—another excellent window for experienced surfers.
Remember, Middleton Beach is inconsistent and rarely breaks, so when it lines up, it’s a special moment. The best windows are short and rely on the long-range forecast, so keep your eyes peeled.
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.
