The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's coming our way.

Well, it's a bit of a slow start here at Middleton Beach. The first few days are a write-off with onshore winds and messy conditions, so you're looking at a gap of about three days before anything really worth paddling out for shows up. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing to write home about on that front.

Things start to get interesting on Monday the 31st of August. The morning is your first real window with a clean 8ft swell from the SW and moderate offshore winds. It's a solid groundswell with a period of 15 seconds, so those waves will have some punch to them and the sets will be spaced out, making it easier to get out the back. The combined energy is moderate (2467).

That Tuesday the 1st of September still has some clean, offshore conditions with a 7ft SW swell, but the wind is a bit stronger. It's surfable, but not the standout.

Now, the real highlight is shaping up for Thursday the 3rd of September. The morning is looking excellent with a clean 12ft swell from the SSW and light offshore winds. That's a solid, powerful groundswell, and with a period of 13 seconds, it's got plenty of energy (4181). This is a big one, though – over 8ft, so it's for the experienced crew only. Beginners should stay on the sand for this one.

The following week has some serious size, but it's a mixed bag. Saturday the 5th of September sees a massive 21ft SW swell roll in, but it's paired with a cross-offshore wind. The combined energy is through the roof (16379), showing just how much power is in the water. This is a serious, expert-only affair. The swell direction is a bit off the optimum, so it might not be as clean as it could be with a pure offshore.

The best of the best, the true standout, is on Sunday the 6th of September. The afternoon session is a monster. A 23ft swell from the WSW with a light cross-shore breeze. The combined energy hits a massive 39011, which is incredibly strong. This is a once-in-a-forecast type of swell, but you need to be a very experienced surfer to handle it. The wind is light, so it could be surprisingly clean for such a big day, but it's still a beast.

After that, the swell stays big but the winds get messy again. The morning of Monday the 7th is a write-off with onshore winds on a 21ft swell. The Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th of September look promising again, with clean conditions and a 12ft SW groundswell, offering another solid window for the experienced crew.

So, to sum it up: the first few days are a total loss. Get your eyes on Thursday the 3rd of September morning for a clean, powerful session, and then the big one is Sunday the 6th of September afternoon for the absolute biggest, most powerful swell of the whole period. This is heavy water, respect it.

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.
