The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with the long-range outlook for Middleton Beach. Straight up, conditions are a mixed bag over the next two weeks, but we do have a few windows that are worth circling on the calendar.
Middleton Beach is a very sheltered, inconsistent beginner spot. The water is sitting at 64°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The first few days are a write-off with strong, lumpy onshore winds, so don't bother paddling out until things settle.
We finally get a break in the action from Sunday the 30th. The morning looks marginal with a clean 10ft SW swell and a gentle cross-shore, but the energy is strong (5175). The standout moment comes on Monday the 31st. Morning brings a solid 8ft SW groundswell (15-second period) with a moderate offshore breeze, making for clean, well-shaped waves. The energy is moderate (2466), and for a spot that's often inconsistent, this is a decent window.
Further ahead, Wednesday the 2nd of September has another promising morning with a 10ft SW swell and a moderate offshore wind. Confidence is a little lower, but the pattern looks good. Thursday the 3rd is similar, with a 10ft SSW swell and offshore winds. These swells are big enough that only experienced surfers should be out there.
The real highlight for the long-range is Sunday the 6th of September. The morning delivers an 8ft SSW swell (14-second period) with very light variable winds and clean conditions. Wave energy is high (4989). This is excellent surf for experienced crew. The following morning, Monday the 7th, also looks top-notch with a 10ft SSW swell, light winds, and clean conditions. These are the standout sessions in the second week.
After that, the wind picks up again, but there are still some clean, offshore windows for the more determined surfer. The 10th of September sees strong offshore winds and a 8ft SW swell, but the wind is howling at 25 mph, making it tough to get out.
Overall, don't bother with the first week. Mark your calendar for Monday the 31st of August, and then really watch the 6th and 7th of September. Those are the days.
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.
