The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at what’s coming up for Middleton Beach over the next couple of weeks. Let’s get into it.

First up, we’ve got a bit of a wait. The first decent look is Saturday the 22nd of August, but it’s not the one to get excited about. The swell is a solid 8ft from the SSW, with a long 16-second period, and the water is sitting at 64°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year. The wind is cross-off, so it’s clean, but the energy is strong, and honestly, it’s just a marginal call. There’s a better window coming.

The real standout shows up on Monday the 24th of August. We’ve got an 8ft SW swell with a 14-second period, and here’s the kicker: the wind goes light offshore from the WNW in the morning, and stays light offshore from the same direction through the afternoon. That means glassy, clean conditions all day. The wave energy is pumping, and the combo of a solid groundswell with perfect wind makes this the best session on offer. It’s not too big for a confident intermediate, but bigger than 5ft, so beginners might find it a handful.

After that, Tuesday the 25th holds up nicely with another 8ft SW swell and offshore winds in the afternoon, but the morning gets a bit gusty. Still, the afternoon session is worth a look.

Then, on Wednesday the 26th of August, we hit a serious pulse. The swell jumps to 15ft from the SW, with a very long 19-second period in the morning. This is big, powerful, and clean with gentle offshore winds. The energy is massive. This is for experienced surfers only – anything over 8ft is expert territory. That long period will make for some proper grunt, but at a beach break like Middleton, it might close out a bit. A point or reef would handle it better, but if you’re an expert and the tide lines up, it’s going to be a session you’ll remember.

The rest of the week goes downhill. Thursday and Friday are blown out with onshore and cross-onshore winds, and the swell is messy. There’s a long gap of poor conditions until Sunday the 30th of August, when a 10ft SSW swell rolls in with light cross-off winds and clean conditions. The energy is strong, and it’s another one for the experienced crew.

Looking further out, there’s a promising blip on Sunday the 6th of September. A 15ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period, light cross-off winds, and clean conditions. The energy is very high. It’s still a long way off, so keep an eye on it, but it could be another big day for the experts.

Overall, the Monday the 24th is the top pick for a clean, strong, manageable session. The Wednesday the 26th is for the big-wave hunters only. There are some poor stretches in between, but the good windows are there if you’re patient.

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.

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.
