The Lowdown

Alright, let's chop it up in feet and miles per hour. Middleton Beach is a sheltered little nook, and she's gonna be a frustrating tease for a few days. The swell is absolutely roaring – we're talking 10ft to 12ft of SW groundswell, with a very long 15 to 16 second period. The energy is just massive, readings in the thousands. But the wind is a cross-off from the W or WSW, which keeps the surface clean, but the wave comment says "marginal." This is big, powerful stuff, and over 8ft, it's only for the guys with the big balls. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 64°, which is a nice bonus.

Now, Friday the 21st of August is your first real look. The morning shows the wind dropping to a slight air from the NW, with a 10ft SSW swell still holding a long 15 second period. The wave comment is "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers" – that's the first standout. The energy is still massive, but with that lighter wind, it should clean right up. This is your window if you're a charger.

The rest of that weekend and into Monday the 24th sees the swell slowly drop, but the wind stays tricky. A brief window on Saturday morning the 22nd shows an 8ft SSW swell and a light NW breeze, looking "very good." But the afternoon wind swings back to a moderate SW cross-off, so get it early.

There's a noticeable gap with poor conditions from the 25th through the 29th of August. The wind is a mess, either onshore, cross-on, or just too strong. The energy drops way down, and the comments are "poor" or "marginal." It's a dry spell, for sure.

Then the real magic might show up. Look at Sunday the 30th of August. A 5ft SW swell with a very long 20 second period rolls in under a gentle N breeze. The energy is back up, and the wave comment is "expect very good surf conditions." The afternoon gets even better: a 8ft SW swell, 18 second period, a light breeze from the NNW, and the comment is "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers." This is a classic long-period groundswell, which will be incredible at a point or reef, but on a beach break like this, it might break a little too straight. Still, with clean conditions, it's a massive standout, but it's over a week away, so just keep it on the radar.

Tuesday the 1st of September offers another shot with a moderate offshore NW wind and a 7ft SW swell – "very good" conditions. And finally, Thursday the 3rd of September shapes up nicely with a 10ft to 12ft SW swell, light winds, and "excellent" conditions noted for the afternoon. This is another potential standout for experienced surfers, but again, it's a long-range call.

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.

Middleton Beach is 8 km (5 miles) from Albany. If you plan a holiday in Far South of Western Australia, look for hotels and other accommodation in Albany. Albany has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
