The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's see what Middleton Beach has got cookin' for us.

Mate, I gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days at Middleton Beach is a real mixed bag. There's plenty of size on the table, but we're going to have to pick our moments with the wind and conditions. It's not going to be a point-and-shoot kind of fortnight.

The water's sitting at 63°, which is feeling a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Nice.

We're looking at a bit of a slow start. Thursday morning the 10th has a decent 5ft SW swell rolling in, but there's a nasty 16 mph NE cross-shore chopping it up. The combined energy is moderate at 1741, but the conditions are poor. That carries into Friday morning the 11th, where we've got a bigger 6ft SW swell with 2716 energy, but the winds are still cross.

The first real window opens up Friday afternoon. The wind drops to a light 6 mph from the north, going cross-offshore. Swell is still a clean 4ft from the SW, and the period is a generous 18 seconds. The wave energy is strong at 2528. That long period groundswell will make for some smooth lines at the Bank. This is your standout for the first week. Get on it.

Saturday the 12th gets blown out by a 22 mph westerly, and Sunday morning the 13th sees a smaller 4ft SW swell but with clean offshore wind from the WNW at 16 mph, making it a solid option for the smaller wave gear.

Now, Monday the 14th, the ocean wakes up. We get a massive 12ft SSW swell slamming in, but the wind is onshore from the ESE. At that size, Middleton is strictly for experienced surfers only, and with the onshore wind, it's going to be a washout. The combined energy hits 5789 – that's very strong energy, but all power and no glory.

We get another tease on Wednesday the 16th afternoon. The swell is a solid 7ft from the SW, and the wind goes completely glassy. That's a beautiful thing to see on a 16-second period groundswell. The energy is a very strong 2349. If you can sneak out then, you might score some real gems, but the wave quality is rated as "very good," and for a spot that's inconsistent, that's a big deal.

Things go a bit quiet after that. The 18th of September is a write-off with a near gale-force westerly, but then the second week fires up. Saturday the 19th looks like the big one for the experts. We're looking at a building swell, hitting 13ft from the WSW by the afternoon. The wind is a clean 12 mph cross-offshore. The energy is a monster 5715. This is big, powerful, and clean – a true standout for heavy-water crew.

Then it settles again, but watch out for the 21st of September Monday. We get another big pulse, a 15ft SSW swell with a 16-second period and clean cross-offshore wind in the morning. The energy is massive at 9047. That's the biggest wave energy in the whole forecast. It's a Monday, but for the experienced charger, that's the session to circle on the calendar.

After that, the winds turn onshore for the rest of the forecast, with big 10ft+ swells but messy conditions. Look for a slight reprieve on the morning of the 25th of September Friday, with a lighter wind and a 7ft SSW swell.

So, to sum it up. The best all-rounder for a fun, clean session is Friday afternoon, September 11th. For the big-wave experts, the standouts are Saturday, September 19th and Monday, September 21st. Middleton is an inconsistent wave, so when the conditions do line up, you gotta go. Crowds are possible here, so don't sleep on it.

Stay stoked.
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.
