The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. We’re looking at a pretty mixed bag over the next couple of weeks at Middleton Beach. It’s a very sheltered spot with a southerly exposure, so we’re mostly waiting on the right swell to sneak in. The water is sitting at 65°F right now, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so the rubber might feel a little more comfortable than usual.

The first real chance to get wet comes in on Monday afternoon, the 20th of July. We’ve got a 7ft swell from the southwest, with a 12-second period. The wind is blowing offshore from the WNW, so the ocean should be clean and lined up. The combined energy is moderate (1490), so it’s not a massive day, but it’s a solid start. This is a beginner-friendly spot, so it’s a good one to get the cobwebs out.

Tuesday the 21st holds a bit more size, with 7ft to 8ft swells, but the wind switches to a cross-offshore from the southwest. The period stretches out to 14 seconds, which is nice, but the forecast suggests the tide might be a bit tricky. It’s surfable, but not the best of the window.

Wednesday the 22nd sees a big jump in size, up to 12ft, but the wind is cross-onshore from the south and the energy is strong (5302). That’s messy and choppy. This one is for the experts only, and honestly, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing with that wind and chop.

Thursday the 23rd is a gentle day with 10ft early, but light cross-shore winds. The afternoon drops to 8ft. It’s clean enough, but the swell isn’t really wrapping in well for this sheltered spot.

Now, the real standout for the first week is Friday the 24th. On the morning, we get 5ft from the SSW at 13 seconds, with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNW. The energy is a bit lower (925), but it’s clean and the waves will be fun. By the afternoon, it’s glassy with a 5ft swell and only 3 mph winds. That’s your best bet for a relaxed, uncrowded session on a longboard. Crowds are possible here sometimes, but on a Friday it should be manageable.

The weekend of the 25th and 26th is a bit of a write-off. Saturday has small 4ft swell and clean conditions, but it’s ordinary. Sunday blows up huge to 15ft, but it’s a short 10-second period, and the wind is strong. That’s more of a washing machine.

The second week kicks off with a promising Monday the 27th. We’ve got a 7ft swell from the SW with a fresh offshore breeze from the WNW, and the energy is solid (2703). The ocean will be clean. Monday afternoon sees the swell bump to 10ft from the SSW with a 16-second period, but the wind picks up to 22 mph. It’s still clean, but that’s a big swell for this spot.

The absolute best on offer, though, is Tuesday the 4th of August. This is a full two weeks out, so keep an eye on the charts, but it looks like a cracker. We’re seeing a 10ft swell from the SW, with a 19-second period, and the energy is pumping (8891). The wind is offshore from the NW. That’s a potent, long-period groundswell that will wrap in nicely. This is expert territory, but the waves will be top-shelf quality. Wednesday the 29th of July is also a solid day with 7ft from the south and clean winds, but it’s not on the same level.

After that, the last few days of the outlook fade out. The 30th and 31st are small and windy, and the 1st of August is a write-off. The 2nd of August has a clean 5ft, and the 3rd has a nice 7ft with offshore winds, but the 4th of August is the one to circle.

Stay safe out there, and keep your eyes on that early August window.

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.
