Alright, let me have a look at what’s on the table for Middleton Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, the first few days are pretty grim. There’s a massive SW groundswell pounding the coast Monday, but it’s getting chopped up by a strong cross-on breeze, and the surf quality is poor until Tuesday morning. You don’t want to bother paddling out Monday – the energy levels are through the roof (3158) and conditions are just too messy for a good time.
Tuesday 7th July is where it starts to come together. Tuesday morning, the wind drops right off to glassy conditions out of the west, and we’ve got a solid 12ft SSW groundswell rolling in at 16 seconds. The water is sitting at 65°, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. This is proper, powerful swell – genuinely excellent for experienced surfers who know how to handle big, clean lines. That early morning session is the standout of the first week, without a doubt.
Wednesday morning the 8th stays clean with a cross-off breeze and 8ft SW swell at 17 seconds – nice and shaped. Then Thursday the 9th sees the swell drop a bit but still offers clean faces under offshore WNW winds, with a 8ft SW swell at 14 seconds. The energy is moderate (1922), so it’s more relaxed but still fun.
Friday the 10th gets messy again with strong winds and a messy, short-period swell. Saturday the 11th brings a massive 15ft SSW swell (energy at 7987!), but it’s crossed up with strong winds and only for experts – and even then, it’s marginal.
The following week has a few more glimmers. Monday 13th July morning offers another big, clean SSW swell at 12ft (17 seconds, energy 6284), ideal for the experienced crew. Tuesday 14th July afternoon is a gem – glassy conditions, 10ft SSW groundswell at 15 seconds, completely clean. That’s a proper dawny or sunset session for those who can handle it.
By the third week, we get another beautiful glassy spell on Tuesday 21st July with 8ft SSW swell (16 seconds, energy 3019) and not a breath of wind. Clean, lined up, and inviting. That’s your other top pick for the whole forecast period.
Overall the pick of the run is Tuesday morning 7th July for the sheer power and perfection, and then Tuesday 14th July afternoon for that glassy, clean, groundswell magic. Middleton Beach is a sheltered spot, so it takes a solid SSW to really get it going – and when the wind plays ball, it’s worth the wait.
Stay safe out there.

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.
