The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, looking at what’s on the cards for Middleton Beach over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a slow burn, but there’s some solid potential if you’re patient.
The water temp here is running about a touch warmer than normal for late winter, sitting around 64°, so maybe leave the 5/4 at home if you’re feeling brave.
Right off the bat, the first few days are a write-off. Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th are onshore and messy, with poor conditions that are not worth paddling out for. Sunday the 30th sees some size, with a 10ft swell from the SW, but it’s cross-onshore and choppy – honestly, in this beach break setup, that’s looking more interesting for the kite crew than for us surfers. Combined wave energy is strong (5577).
Monday the 31st is where the window starts to crack open. Morning shows a 8ft SW swell with light offshore wind from the west. The ocean will be clean, and with a moderate offshore breeze and moderate wave energy (2867), it’s a solid opportunity to get some decent lines. Tuesday the 1st also looks promising early with 8ft swell and clean conditions.
The real standout lands on Thursday the 3rd of September. You’ve got an 12ft SSW groundswell, a long 14-second period, and glassy conditions all afternoon. That’s a rare combo for a spot that’s usually pretty sheltered. The wave energy is very strong (4040). This is big enough it’s for experienced surfers only, and in a beach break, such a long-period swell can jack up fast and close out, but with that offshore influence, keep an eye on it. The early part of the week after (around September 8th and 9th) also looks clean with 8-8ft SW swells and light offshore wind, offering consistent, rideable waves.
Further out on Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th, we’re looking at massive swell pumping in – 15ft to 16ft from the SW/SSW. That’s extreme energy (over 10000), only for experts, and the wind stays manageable. It’s a long-range call, so less certain, but if it lines up, it’ll be a spectacle.
There are a few gaps of poor conditions, but overall, the pattern shifts to cleaner surf from the start of next week onwards.
Stay safe.

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.
