The Lowdown
Alright, switching to feet and miles per hour for those who think that way. Rusty again.
Middleton Beach is a sheltered, beginner-friendly spot that doesn't fire all the time. The swell direction ain't what it loves, but we've got a few windows where things line up.
Thursday 10th and Friday 11th are a mess – cross-shore winds and lumpy water. Not worth it. Saturday 12th has a strong offshore but it's blowing 25 mph, making it a battle to get out. Sunday 13th afternoon has 8 ft swell but only 8 seconds – short period mush.
Monday 14th sees 12 ft from the SSW, but onshore and choppy. That's big for here – better for kite surfing than a paddle.
First real standout: Wednesday 16th morning. Light cross-off, 7 ft from the SW with a 16-second period (combined energy 2818). Clean groundswell – that'll wrap in nice.
Next up, Sunday 20th morning: 7 ft at 13 seconds, light breeze, clean (energy 2817). Afternoon jumps to 10 ft, still clean. That afternoon is the best of the first week – long period, good size, perfect wind.
Thursday 24th morning is glassy: 10 ft from the east but only 8 seconds. Glass is golden, but short period means mushy waves.
The absolute winner – Friday 25th morning. 8 ft from the SSW, 18-second period, light cross-off, clean. Energy reading 4281 – strong groundswell that'll be smooth. This is the one for experienced surfers. Crowds can show up when it's good, but a Friday might keep it mellow.
So first week is mostly a bust. Second week – especially Sunday 20th afternoon and Friday 25th morning – those are the standouts. Go get 'em.
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.
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.
