The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break down what Middleton Beach has coming. It’s a slow burner, then some solid swell, but the wind will keep you honest.
First proper surf is Thursday afternoon, July 16th. A clean 7ft SW groundswell, 14-second period, with a light offshore breeze from the WNW. Wave energy is moderate (2018). Water temp is 65°, a touch warmer than usual for winter – a nice little gift.
Friday morning, July 17th, drops to 5ft SW swell, still a clean cross-off breeze. Smaller but fun.
Saturday July 18th gets heavy. Morning has 8ft swell with a strong 25 mph offshore wind. Afternoon jumps to 10ft with a 16-second period and 19 mph offshore. That’s powerful (6383 combined energy) but the wind is howling. It’s a battle to get out. Experts only, beginners stay ashore.
Sunday July 19th morning is a standout: 7ft SW swell, 12 mph offshore from the WNW. Clean, good shape, moderate energy (2177). That’s the session for the first week.
From Monday July 20th through Wednesday July 22nd, the swell sits around 6ft to 7ft but the wind keeps shifting. By Wednesday afternoon, a big 12ft SSW swell arrives with a nasty cross-onshore wind and chop. That’s no good for surfing – better for kites.
Thursday July 23rd and Friday July 24th are messy with onshore winds. Not worth it.
Then we get a second wind. Saturday July 25th is iffy, but Sunday July 26th afternoon shapes up: 7ft SSW swell, 15-second period, light cross-off from the NNW. Clean and lined up.
Monday July 27th is the real winner. Morning and afternoon both have 6ft to 6ft S swell, 14-second period, light offshore from the north. Combined energy near 2779, glassy conditions. That’s the day to aim for – but it’s over a week out, so keep checking.
Wednesday July 29th into Thursday July 30th brings long-period SW groundswell (18 seconds). That’s best for a point or reef setup. The energy is strong (2180 to 3804) but wind gets gusty, especially Thursday afternoon.
Friday July 31st is big: 10ft to 13ft SW swell, 18-second period, moderate offshore. Combined energy hits 9002 – that’s proper heavy. Only for experienced crew. If you’re keen, it could be a monster.
Best bets: Sunday July 19th morning or Monday July 27th for clean, user-friendly waves. The 31st is for the brave.
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.
