The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Middleton Beach over the next couple of weeks.
The water is sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might not need the thickest wetsuit.
The first half of the outlook is a bit of a mixed bag, with a lot of marginal surf, but we’ve got a couple of clear standouts if you’re patient. Early on, Tuesday the 21st sees a solid 8ft SSW swell rolling in with 13-second period and a moderate breeze, but it’s a cross-off wind and the wave comment says it’s marginal, so not the best. The combined swell energy is strong at 1993. Wednesday the 22nd jumps up to 12ft, but it’s cross-on and choppy, so that’s a big, messy paddle for most.
The first real standout is Thursday morning, the 23rd. The swell drops to a still-chunky 10ft from the SSW, but the wind swings to a light northerly, making it cross-off and clean. The combined energy is strong at 3078, and the wave comment says to expect very good surf. That’s a proper morning session for experienced surfers, as 10ft is expert territory. Crowds are possible, so get in early.
Friday the 24th stays clean with a cross-off breeze, but the swell backs off to 6ft, so it’s more manageable for a wider range of surfers, but not the standout.
The next real highlight is Sunday the 26th. The morning shows a 10ft SSW swell with a 15 mph WNW wind blowing straight offshore. The combined energy is pumping at 4722, and the wave comment says excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers. This is a big, clean, powerful wave. The afternoon stays clean but the swell drops a touch.
We then have a bit of a lull through the middle of the week. The next absolute standout is far out, on Monday the 3rd of August. The morning shows a 10ft SSW groundswell with a long 16-second period, and a light offshore northwesterly. The combined energy is massive at 4803, and the wave comment says excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers. This is a long-range call, so keep an eye on it, but it has the makings of a proper session. The afternoon on the 3rd and the morning of the 4th keep the clean conditions with 10ft and offshore winds.
That’s your best bet. The rest of the period is either too small, too windy, or too messy to get excited about.
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.
