Table - best surf conditions forecast for Middleton Beach over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here. Listen, we’ve got a bit of a mixed bag coming up at Middleton Beach over the next couple of weeks. It’s a very sheltered spot, and the surf is inconsistent, so don’t expect it to be pumping every day. The water temp is sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a nice little bonus.
The first few days are a write-off, honestly. Friday the 10th and Saturday the 11th are delivering poor to marginal surf, with messy cross-off winds and wonky tides. The swell is there, but the quality is just not there for a decent paddle. You’d be better off waiting.
Now, things start to get interesting early next week. Monday the 13th is the standout. We’ve got a solid 13ft SSW groundswell rolling in, with a very long period of 16 seconds. The energy is massive—over 7700 (7791) in the morning—and the wind goes light and gentle, staying cross-off. This is big, powerful stuff, over 8ft, so it’s strictly for experienced surfers. The break is a beach, so that long period swell might make it a bit straight, but the sheer size and cleanliness will be a sight to see.
Tuesday the 14th morning is also excellent. The swell drops a touch to 10ft from the SSW, but it’s still a long-period groundswell (15 seconds) with plenty of power (4440). The wind is light and from the NNW, keeping it clean. Again, experts only.
After that, Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th are still surfable, but the quality drops off. Thursday morning actually sees a proper offshore wind from the west, with a 8ft SW swell, so it’ll be clean and rideable, but it’s not the same level as Monday and Tuesday. The following weekend, the 18th and 19th, gets huge again—over 18ft—but with strong winds and cross-off or cross-on conditions, it’s more of a kite-surfing show than a paddle session.
The second week is pretty quiet. There’s not much to recommend. The swell drops away, and the conditions are mostly ordinary. A few small windows of clean surf on the 22nd and 23rd, but the swell is tiny and the wind is up. It’s a long gap of nothing special after the 16th.
So, the real highlight is Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th mornings. If you’re experienced and hungry for big, clean groundswell, that’s your window. Don’t sleep on it.
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.
