The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. We’ve got sixteen days of potential surf ahead, and for Middleton Beach, we’re looking at a real mixed bag. The first few days are a write-off, but there’s some solid groundswell waiting further down the line if you’ve got patience.
The first real chance to get wet doesn’t come until the morning of Monday 31st August. An offshore wind will clean up a 8ft SSW swell, and the wave energy is strong. That’s the first good window, but it’s not the best of the run.
Things really start to look up on the morning of Wednesday 2nd September. A clean 7ft SW swell, offshore wind, and moderate wave energy make for a solid session. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, and the break is a very sheltered spot, so it won’t be too big or unruly for a confident beginner.
But the standout – the one you circle on the calendar – is the morning of Tuesday 8th September. Glassy conditions, a beautiful 10ft SSW groundswell (period of 16 seconds), and strong wave energy coming from the optimum direction. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers, and the energy is right in the sweet spot. The crowd factor is possible here, so get there early.
The next morning, Wednesday 9th September, is another cracker. An 12ft SSW swell with a 15-second period, offshore wind, and very strong energy. Again, this is expert territory at that size, but it’s going to be clean and powerful.
After that, the swell starts to drop off and the wind gets messy. There’s a bit of a lull from the 12th September onwards, with choppy, poor conditions setting in.
So, the pick of the whole sixteen days is the Tuesday 8th September morning. That glassy, long-period SSW groundswell at Middleton Beach is the highlight. The Wednesday 9th morning is a close second, but just a touch windier.

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.
