Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a solid run of surf coming through for Middleton Beach, but you’re gonna have to be patient and pick your windows carefully. The next two weeks offer some magic moments, but also some absolute washouts.
The first real chance to get wet kicks off this Friday, July 3rd. It’s not massive, but those morning and afternoon sessions are looking glassy with a clean 7ft to 6ft SSW swell, holding a nice 14-second period. The wind is light and variable from the east, totally glassy. Water temp is 65°, which is about a degree warmer than usual for this time of year – you’ll feel that little bit of extra comfort. It’s a beginner-friendly spot here, so even though the swell is a bit over 5ft, it’s still manageable with that clean face. The combined energy is strong at 2785.
Saturday sees the swell jump up to 10ft but the wind swings north and picks up to 12 mph, making for a cross-off breeze in the morning that keeps things clean, but the afternoon gets cross and choppy. This size is pushing into expert territory.
Then things get rough. Sunday through Monday of the first week is a write-off – onshore winds and poor conditions. You’re looking at a dry spell from Sunday the 5th through until at least Wednesday morning.
Now, here’s the standout. Tuesday morning, July 7th is the one to circle. We’ve got clear skies, a glassy 3 mph easterly breeze, and a pumping 12ft SSW groundswell with a 16-second period. The combined energy is massive at 10768 – this is serious power. This is for experienced surfers only, well over 8ft. That long-period groundswell will be better shaped, with more energy and longer lulls between sets. For a beach break like Middleton, it might be a bit straight, but with that offshore wind it could still offer some great barrels.
Wednesday the 8th morning is still a solid option with a 8ft SSW swell and a light offshore from the northwest, keeping things clean. Good for intermediate to advanced crew.
After that, the second week gets dicey. From Thursday the 9th through to the end of the 16th, expect mostly poor conditions with strong onshore winds and lumpy seas. There’s a massive 16ft swell on Saturday the 11th, but it’s accompanied by a fresh 19 mph cross-onshore, making it a mess. That setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
We do get a late reprieve on Saturday morning, July 18th. A 7ft SSW swell with a moderate offshore northwest wind at 12 mph. Clean waves, good energy at 2537. It’s not the monster of the 7th, but it’s a solid, ridable day to close out the run.
So, the bottom line: Tuesday morning the 7th is the absolute standout for experienced surfers chasing size and power. Friday the 3rd is your beginner-to-intermediate pick for clean, manageable waves. The rest is mostly waiting.
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.
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.
