The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s shaping up for Middleton Beach over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you – the start is rough, but there’s a real payoff if you’re patient.

Right off the bat, there’s a big gap of nothing. The first few days are a write-off with a big, powerful, but messy swell. Tuesday morning the 8th has a massive 12 ft SW groundswell with a long 17-second period and a howling 30 km/h ESE onshore, making it poor. That combined energy is off the charts at 8021, but it’s all wind-chop and no fun. This lasts right through Wednesday and Thursday – the swell drops a bit but stays lumpy and cross-onshore. The water temp is sitting at 63°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.

Things start to look up on Friday the 11th. The morning is still a bit messy with a 7 ft SW swell and a light cross-shore breeze, but it’s the afternoon that could be the first real look. We get a 7 ft SW groundswell (18-second period) and the wind goes glassy (5 km/h from the NE). That combo will clean it right up and take the energy from 3315 into some nice, tidy waves. This is beginner-friendly in size but that long period will make for some better shaped sets, with longer waits between them.

Saturday the 12th is a step back with strong westerly winds spoiling the shape, and Sunday the 13th is a mixed bag. The morning has a clean but small 4 ft with offshore wind, but it’s weak (968 energy). The afternoon sees the swell jump back up to 10 ft with a fresh cross-offshore, but the quality is still questionable.

Now, here’s where we get into the real standouts. After a sloppy start to the following week, we get a solid pulse on Friday the 18th. The morning sees a cracking 12 ft SSW groundswell (14 seconds) with a clean cross-offshore wind from the NW. That’s 8439 energy and it’s going to look powerful. Then, the absolute pick of the first half of the outlook is Saturday the 19th. Both morning and afternoon are rated excellent for experienced surfers. We’ve got a 12 ft SSW swell with light offshore winds in the morning and light cross-offshore in the arvo. That’s huge, clean energy (4172-5919) and will be pumping. This one is for the crew with some experience under their belt – over 8 ft is expert territory.

Hang on, because the best might still be to come. Sunday the 20th afternoon turns glassy with a 13 ft SSW groundswell at 16 seconds and an energy reading of 7379. That’s a picture-perfect big swell for the experienced. Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd show massive 16 ft SW and SSW swells with moderate offshore winds. The energy on Tuesday morning hits 11648 – that’s serious power. These days are for experts only, with waves over 13-16 ft.

The very end of the outlook, Wednesday the 23rd morning, looks like another excellent window for experienced surfers. A 13 ft SW swell with near-calm winds will give you clean, lined-up power (8399 energy). The afternoon gets a bit bigger at 16 ft but the wind swings onshore, so get on it early.

So, the call is simple. The first week is mostly a skip. The standout is Saturday the 19th, with Sunday the 20th afternoon a close second. For the big dogs, the 21st through 23rd are going to be massive but are a long way out, so keep an eye on the forecasts.

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.
