The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's break down what Middleton Beach has for us. It’s a long forecast, and honestly, a lot of it is just waiting for the right conditions.
Right off the bat, we’ve got some serious, hefty swell, but the wind is blowing right across it, destroying any chance of a clean wave. That 12ft SW groundswell with a 14-second period has plenty of energy, but it's messy. That first Monday morning is a hard pass.
The next several days are a dead loss. Swell drops and the wind stays onshore, creating junk. On Thursday the 17th of September afternoon we get a brief window with a light offshore wind on a 5ft SW swell, but it's weak and small. Not worth the paddle.
The first real bright spot is Sunday the 20th of September afternoon. The wind goes glassy – that’s the dream for clean conditions. We’re looking at 10ft of SSW swell with a long 16-second period and plenty of power. That session is your first chance at some proper waves.
The next week brings another goodie on Tuesday the 22nd of September afternoon. Offshore wind from the West at 15 mph on 8ft of WSW swell with solid energy. The report says "very good surf conditions", which is a reliable sign.
But the main event is absolutely Friday the 25th of September morning. This is for the experienced crew only. We’re talking a massive 13ft SSW groundswell powering in with a 16-second period, and the combined energy is enormous. On top of that, you’ve got near-glassy, light offshore wind from the WSW. This is a big, clean, powerful ocean – over 8ft, it’s expert territory. The afternoon gets even bigger at 17ft, but the cross-on wind comes in and messes it up.
A couple of days later, on Tuesday the 29th of September, we get another excellent morning and afternoon. Moderate offshore winds on 12ft of SSW groundswell at 16 seconds with strong energy. Solid and clean for the experienced surfer.
Water temp is sitting about 63°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The standout winner is Friday the 25th morning for the serious, clean, big-wave session, but Sunday the 20th afternoon and Tuesday the 29th are solid backup options. Most of the rest is best for a time on the beach with a coffee.
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.
