The Lowdown

G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s lining up for Middleton Beach over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a solid stretch of surf kicking off this Sunday, 19 July, and it’s going to be a proper run. The swell is building from the southwest, and the water temp is sitting pretty average for the time of year, so nothing freaky there. The first decent session is Sunday morning with a clean 8ft SW swell—moderate offshore breeze keeping it tidy. The combined energy is pumping at 2469, so there’s a fair bit of grunt in the water. Sunday afternoon holds a similar vibe, 8ft SSW swell, still clean. Monday the 20th stays good, with a morning 5ft SSW swell and a solid afternoon at 7ft SW, both with a steady offshore wind. This is a good run, and Middleton Beach is a very sheltered spot, so don’t expect it to get wild.

Now, if you’re looking for the standout, wait until Wednesday the 22nd. The afternoon session is absolute gold: 12ft SSW swell, period blowing out to 16 seconds—that’s a proper groundswell, long and powerful. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, and the combined energy hits 5874. This is the kind of clean, heavy wave that will have experienced surfers grinning ear to ear. It’s a bit too big for beginners, but for the crew who know what they’re doing, this is the pick of the forecast.

Thursday the 23rd morning is still good, 8ft SSW with clean conditions, but the afternoon goes light cross-onshore and a bit bumpy. From Friday the 24th through the weekend, the quality drops—consistent swell but winds get messy, and the energy is still there but the conditions are not. Saturday the 25th has a 8ft WSW swell but a fresh breeze making it average, and Sunday the 26th is just plain rough with strong winds and 12ft SSW swell—definitely not one for paddle surfing, more like a kite day.

We hit a bit of a lull early in the new week, but Monday the 27th morning brings back hope with a clean 8ft S swell, energy at 3691. After that, the middle of the week (28th to 30th) is patchy—some small surf, some onshore winds, and a few poor days. But then, on Friday the 31st, we get a surprise: a 10ft ENE swell, clean conditions, and energy at 2127. This one is a bit different, short period at 8 seconds, so it’ll be more of a windswell—still worth a look if you’re keen.

The real gem, though, is Sunday the 2nd of August. Morning session: 12ft SW swell, 16-second period, glassy calm, and combined energy of 6208. This is the second standout, and it’s a beauty. The afternoon gets a bit choppy, but that morning is world-class for experienced surfers. Monday the 3rd morning also holds a clean 10ft S swell with excellent conditions.

Overall, Middleton Beach is looking good for a few weeks. The two absolute standouts are Wednesday 22nd July afternoon and Sunday 2nd August morning—both big, clean, and powerful. Just keep in mind, this spot is inconsistent and rarely breaks, so when it does turn on, it’s something special. Crowds are possible, so get in early.

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.
