The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's check out what's coming down the line for Middleton Beach.
Honestly, it's a bit of a rough start. We've got a solid, but messy, swell train rolling in, but the wind is just not playing ball for the next few days. The water is sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won't be freezing while you're getting blown off the face of the wave.
The first real window of opportunity opens up on Wednesday morning, August 12th. We’ve got a solid 16ft swell from the SSW with a 15-second period, and the wind is finally swinging offshore from the W at 15 mph. The wave energy is strong (9601), and for the experienced crew, this is going to be a goer. The long period will keep the lines clean, but that much juice on a beach break can be a handful. This is the standout session for the first week.
The wind stays favorable for the next few mornings, but the size drops. Thursday morning, August 13th, offers 12ft SSW swell with offshore W winds again. It’s cleaner and more manageable for the strong intermediate paddling out. Then Friday, August 14th, looks like a glassy little gem. The morning has a 13ft SSW swell with a 16-second period and light NNW winds, and the afternoon cleans up even more with a 6 mph NNW breeze. The wave energy is still solid (5559 in the afternoon), and the conditions are described as excellent. It’s a long-period groundswell, so the points and reefs will be handling it best, but the consistency will be worth the wait.
The second week sees the swell drop back, but the wind stays predominantly offshore. Wednesday afternoon, August 19th, is a solid call. We’ve got 12ft from the SW with a 15-second period, and a gentle 9 mph WNW offshore breeze. The wave energy is a moderate 4830, and the conditions are excellent for experienced surfers. It’s a long way out, so don't hold me to the exact size, but the pattern looks promising.
There are a few other days with offshore winds, but the swell either gets too big with bad wind, or the swell drops right off. The run from the 15th to the 18th is a bit of a washout with cross-off winds and building winds. The energy drops right off after the 21st, with some weak, short-period windswell showing up. Stay patient.
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.
