The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checking in on Middleton Beach for the next couple of weeks.
We’re starting off with some serious size, but it’s not a time to be getting too excited. Monday afternoon kicks off with a massive 16ft swell from the SSW, but the wind is howling out of the SW at 28 mph as a cross-off. The water is sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The combined energy of all swells directed here is a staggering 8092, but the conditions are marginal and the tide is questionable. This is big, powerful, and messy – not a beginner’s day with that 16ft height. It’s really only for the most experienced, and even then, it’s tough.
Tuesday morning is the standout. The swell drops slightly to 20ft from the SSW with a very long 16-second period, and the energy is through the roof at 34297. The wind is still a cross-off from the SW at 22 mph, but the conditions are described as clean. This is a big, powerful groundswell – best suited for a point or reef, as that long period can make a beach break like this one shut down and close out. Thursday morning is the next highlight. The swell eases to 13ft from the SSW, but the period is still a very long 16 seconds, and we finally get offshore wind out of the WNW at 9 mph. The combined energy is 8965, and the conditions are excellent for experienced surfers. This is the cleanest window in the first week, with that light offshore breeze grooming the waves. Thursday afternoon keeps it clean with a 15ft swell and a 17-second period, cross-off from the SW at 6 mph.
The second week fades out. Saturday the 15th sees a drop to 7ft to 8ft from the SW, with a solid 14-second period, and light NNW winds. The energy is lower, around 2025 to 2864, and conditions are clean. It’s a more manageable size, but nothing that’s going to get the heart racing. The following days are a mix of cross-on winds and choppy conditions, with a few clean windows but the swell struggling to hold much power. By the 20th, we see a weird little 8ft ENE swell with a short 8-second period, which is a bit of a non-event. The 23rd brings a late return of 10ft swell from the SW with a 15-second period and light offshore winds, showing some promise, but it’s a long way out.
Overall, the best of the whole period is Tuesday the 11th and Thursday the 13th, but those are big, powerful days for experienced surfers only. The crowds are listed as “sometimes” at Middleton, so you might have some company, but it won’t be a circus.
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.
