The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's break down the only spot on the menu for the next couple weeks: Middleton Beach.
The forecast is a mixed bag, but there's a couple of days that really shine for the crew who want to earn a good wave. The water's sitting at about 64°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for the season, so that's a bonus.
We start off on Tuesday, August 25th. There's a 8ft SW swell running, with a 13-second period. Wind is NW at 16 mph, clean and offshore. The energy is serious, reading 2524 (moderate wave energy). It's got some punch, but for a very sheltered spot at that size, it's not the top pick.
Wednesday the 26th is where it gets real for the experienced surfers. Morning brings a solid 10ft SW groundswell, with a long 15-second period (energy 5545 – moderate to strong). That's proper groundswell with power. Wind is a gentle 9 mph from the SW, cross-off and clean. This one looks excellent.
Wednesday afternoon kicks it up a notch: a 12ft SW groundswell, even longer at 18 seconds (energy 8684 – strong). The wind goes light cross-shore. Long period swells like that can be a bit straight for the beach break, but there's so much power it'll be a tricky, hollow wave for the brave.
Thursday the 27th is a total washout. Fresh SSE winds at 19 mph make for lumpy, cross-onshore junk on a 10ft swell. Don't bother.
The rest of August is marginal at best. There's a glimpse on Saturday the 30th – a 10ft SSW groundswell (energy 4970 – strong), 17-second period, with a light 6 mph NE cross-onshore. It’s glassy enough, but the call is marginal.
Now for the good stuff. Tuesday, September 1st is the first real standout. Early morning, we've got an 8ft SW swell, 14-second period, with a gentle 9 mph offshore wind from the W. That’s clean, punchy, and hollow. Energy is 3744 (moderate wave energy). Circle this one.
Thursday, September 3rd is another for the experts. Morning offers a 10ft SSW groundswell, 16-second period, and a gentle cross-off breeze (energy 4552 – strong). And in the second week, check out Monday the 7th: a long-period 19-second groundswell at 8ft (energy 7107 – very strong), building to a massive, clean 13ft by the afternoon.
But the absolute crown jewel of the second week is Tuesday, September 8th. That morning, you get a 10ft SW groundswell, a 17-second period, and glassy conditions – wind is a whisper at 3 mph. Energy is 4826 (strong wave energy). It's going to be perfect. Crowds are possible, so paddle out early.
After that, the forecast fades out clean but smaller. Wednesday the 9th still has some fun, clean lines.
So, for the experts, Wednesday the 26th of August and Tuesday the 8th of September are the true standouts. For everyone else wanting a clean, manageable session, Tuesday the 1st of September is your best bet.
It never stays flat for long around here. 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.
