Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on the cards for Middleton Beach over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you—it’s a bit of a mixed bag, but there are a couple of sessions that should get you frothing. The water temperature is sitting at 64°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, so the first few surfs won’t feel too brisk.
The overall pattern shows a pretty slow start. We’ve got a big gap of no real quality surf from now until Tuesday 7 July. There’s swell around on Saturday 4 July—10ft of SSW groundswell with a long 17-second period—but the wind is cross-off and the conditions are only marginal. The combined wave energy is hefty at 6129, but it’s just not clean enough. Sunday and Monday are poor to ordinary too, so you can leave the board in the car for now.
The first real standout is Tuesday 7 July, early morning. Middleton Beach will have 12ft of SSW swell with a 16-second period, and get this—glassy conditions, almost no wind. That’s a major positive for a break that’s very sheltered and often needs clean conditions to work. The energy is pumping (5877) and it’s “excellent surf for experienced surfers.” This swell is over 8ft, so it’s for the crew who know what they’re doing. It’s inconsistent here, so don’t expect a set every minute, but when they come, they’ll be firing. Be aware that crowds can show up sometimes.
Wednesday 8 July morning is another one to circle. You’ll get 8ft of SW groundswell with a very long 18-second period, cross-off breeze, and clean conditions. The energy is still strong (5826). This longer-period swell is going to offer good shape, but at a beach setup it can break a bit straight—still, for an experienced surfer, that’s a solid session.
From Thursday 9 July into the second week, things get less reliable. There are highlights, but with more wind and lower consistency. The big one to keep an eye on is Monday 13 July—the models are showing a 13ft SSW groundswell with 16 seconds and glassy conditions for the morning. That’s huge energy (8085), but again, only for experts. Promising, but it’s a long way out so stay tuned.
Beyond that, the swell sticks around but the wind gets messy from Wednesday 15 July onwards. By the 18th and 19th, we’re looking at swell over 16ft and 20ft with strong cross and onshore winds. Combined energy is massive (12833 and 31783), but that’s more likely to be a kite-surfing show than something for a paddle surfer. The setup looks interesting for the kite crowd, but not for us.
Stay patient, grab Tuesday morning if you can, and keep an eye on that Monday 13 July potential.
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.
