The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break down the next 16 days at Middleton Beach. The first wave of note rolls in on Tuesday morning, 14th July, with a clean 10-foot SSW swell. That’s a long-period groundswell at 15 seconds, and the combined energy is strong at 3919. The wind is a light cross-off from the NNW, so it’s clean, but this is big – over 8 feet, so it’s only for experienced surfers. The water temp is about normal for this time of year.
Tuesday afternoon stays the same size but gets a cross wind, so the quality drops. Wednesday, 15th July, has a fresh N wind at 30 km/h, with a 7-foot to 8-foot swell, but the wind is cross-off, so it’s clean. The wind is too strong for a good time, though.
Thursday, 16th July, has light rain and a moderate NNW wind, with 8-foot SSW swell, but the energy is still high (2721). Clean but not special.
Friday, 17th July, is a dud – the swell drops to 5 feet in the morning with a strong offshore wind, energy is low (897), and the afternoon is even smaller.
Now, the big one: Saturday, 18th July. The morning brings a massive 15-foot WSW swell with an 18-second period – that’s a very long period groundswell. The combined energy is a massive 12956, very strong. The wind is a strong offshore from the WNW at 40 km/h, so it’s clean, but it’s hard to paddle into. This is strictly for experts. The afternoon stays at 13 feet with a 17-second period and fresh offshore wind.
Sunday, 19th July, is a solid option. 7-foot SW swell, 14-second period, energy at 2824. The wind is a moderate offshore from the W, so it’s clean and powerful. Crowds are likely.
The middle of the week (20th to 22nd July) is poor – strong winds, small to moderate swell. Wednesday, 22nd July, gets a little better with a 7-foot SSW swell, 12-second period, and a moderate offshore wind. Energy is 1412, moderate. Surfable.
Thursday, 23rd July, has a 8-foot SSW swell, 14-second period, and a fresh offshore wind. Energy is 2302, moderate to strong. Clean, but marginal.
The following weekend, 24th and 25th July, is mixed. Friday has a 5-foot SW swell with light wind, energy moderate. Saturday is clean with a 6-foot SSW swell, but energy is low (905).
The last few days have another big pulse. Monday, 27th July, shows a 15-foot SSW swell, but the period is only 10 seconds, so it’s a short-period wind swell. Energy is 3828, strong, but messy.
The true standout is Tuesday, 28th July. Afternoon session: 12-foot SSW swell, 17-second period, a gentle offshore wind from the WNW, and the combined energy is 8455. The report says it’s excellent for experienced surfers. This is the one to aim for.
So, the best bets: Saturday, 18th July for the huge, heavy groundswell if you’re a charger, and Tuesday, 28th July afternoon for a cleaner, slightly smaller but still powerful swell with great wind. Both are experts-only.

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.
