Middleton Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s break down what’s happening at Middleton Beach. Only one spot in the mix, and the first week or so is pretty grim.

Starting Sunday the 6th, it’s ugly. A 10-foot S swell, but cross-onshore winds at 15 mph mess it all up. The energy is high (2602), but it’s just chop. Not worth it. Monday the 7th is even bigger – 12-foot SSW swell with 16-second periods, but the cross-onshore wind kills it. Energy is massive (6058), but it’s still messy.

Tuesday the 8th has 12-foot SW swell and 18 mph onshore wind – that’s a kite day, not a surf day. Wednesday and Thursday keep the same pattern: big swell, bad conditions. For a beginner spot that’s inconsistent and very sheltered, this is a rough patch.

Then Friday the 11th morning brings hope. 5-foot SW swell, 14-second period, and a cross-offshore wind from the north. It’s clean. Energy is moderate (2030) and it’s finally surfable. Saturday the 12th morning is even better: 7-foot SW swell, 16 seconds, clean offshore wind from the west. That’s your first real window. Clean, lined-up, and manageable.

Sunday the 13th stays solid with 8-foot SW swell and a fresh offshore wind, though it’s a bit stronger at 18 mph. Still, it’s clean.

Monday the 14th is where it gets good. 10-foot SW swell, 14-second period, and gentle cross-offshore wind. Energy is strong (4078) and conditions are clean. That’s a standout for the first week – big enough to be fun but not out of control, with clean faces.

The mid-week after that fades a bit, but then Friday the 18th hits hard. 17-foot SW swell, 16-second period, and a strong 25 mph offshore wind. Energy is enormous (13405) – that’s a proper groundswell. But 17 feet is expert-only, and that strong offshore wind will make it hard to paddle into. Saturday the 19th stays big and windy, same story.

But the real standout – and I mean the absolute standout – is Sunday the 20th. We’re looking at a massive 21-foot SSW swell with a 21-second period. That’s very long-period groundswell, and the combined energy is a staggering 35825. The wind is cross-offshore and moderate, so it should be clean. This is a once-in-a-while kind of swell, but it’s only for very experienced surfers. That long period will make it better suited to a reef or point, but Middleton Beach is a beach break, so it might be a bit straight and heavy. Still, the quality is undeniable. Monday the 21st is still solid with 13-foot SSW swell and offshore wind, but it’s a step down.

Water temp is about average for this time of year – nothing unusual.

So, bottom line: the first week is mostly a washout. Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th are your first real windows. Monday the 14th is a solid option for experienced surfers. But the true standout is Sunday the 20th – that’s a monster swell with incredible energy, but it’s only for the brave. Keep an eye on that one.
