The Lowdown
Alright, let's dive into the late-winter and early-spring surf for Middleton Beach. The long-range models show a solid run of southern hemi groundswell, but the wind is the key factor that’ll make or break the sessions.
The first few days, you can sleep in. Saturday the 29th is a mess: strong onshore ESE winds and poor conditions, even with very strong wave energy (4115 to 4387). Sunday the 30th is still choppy and lumpy despite the sun. That 3.0m SW swell has power but with a strong cross-onshore wind, it looks way more interesting for a kite than a surfboard. Skip it.
Monday the 31st of August is the real kick-off. The morning is your best bet in the first week: a 2.4m SW groundswell with a long 16-second period, and a moderate offshore wind from the west. Clean lines, strong energy (2846), and that offshore breeze will keep the surface glassy. That’s the session to aim for.
Water temp is about average for the season, so a 4/3 is fine.
Tuesday the 1st of September stays clean with cross-off winds, but the swell drops to 1.9m-2.4m. Still fun, just no power. The rest of the week through Friday the 4th is a bit of a slog: the swell holds between 2.5m and 3.0m, winds stay mostly favorable, but the quality is only marginal. The energy stays high (over 2500), but it’s just not magic.
Saturday the 5th goes lumpy again with a jump to 3.5m from the south and a bumpy cross-shore wind. Big and ugly.
Then a flat patch. Sunday the 6th is poor: short-period windswell (8 seconds) and choppy, onshore wind. Stay home.
The second week has some real gold. Monday the 7th of September is a standout: light offshore from the southwest, 2.1m SW groundswell (14 seconds), and a strong energy reading of 3105. Clean, punchy, and well worth a paddle.
But the real crown jewel is Tuesday the 8th of September. Glassy conditions in the morning. A 2.3m SSW groundswell with a long 16-second period, packing 3300 units of wave energy. It will be clean, lined-up, and gorgeous. Get in the water before the wind shifts onshore later.
The rest of the second week is mixed: Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th have clean windows but smaller swell and a bit of cross-breeze. Friday the 11th sees a massive energy spike (7144!) with a 3.5m SW swell – huge, but cross-shore wind will put some chop on those sets. That’s for experts only.
The run wraps up nicely with Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th. Saturday morning is clean with a 2.5m SSW groundswell and an offshore breeze. Sunday the 13th ends with a moderate offshore and a solid 2.2m SW swell. Good energy, clean, and a great way to close out the forecast.
Keep your eyes on Tuesday the 8th. That’s the one.

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.
