The Lowdown

G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been watchin’ the charts for your local stretch. Let’s be straight up here – this is a region that’s gonna be playing hard to get for a while. The good news is, there’s a couple of windows that’ll make it all worth it if you’ve got patience.

The first solid surf isn’t showing up until the 31st of August. Before that, it’s a write-off – Saturday the 29th is a dud with 8ft SSW swell and a 15 mph onshore easterly blowing it to pieces, and the water’s sitting at 64°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Sunday the 30th is sketchy too, with 10ft SW swell and cross-on winds.

Now, Monday the 31st of August, that’s where things start to turn. The morning brings a 8ft SW swell with a 16-second period, and a clean 15 mph offshore westerly. The combined wave energy is moderate at 2758, and it’s looking like very good surf. Middleton Beach is a beginner spot and inconsistent, but with that offshore wind, it’ll be clean. The afternoon though, forget it – 25 mph south-southwest winds and rain will trash it.

Tuesday the 1st of September has some potential, but it’s marginal. Morning sees 8ft SSW swell with a 16-second period, cross-off westerly at 15 mph, and it’s clean but not amazing. The afternoon pushes 12ft SW swell with a shorter 14-second period, and a 19 mph cross-off breeze – still clean, but the energy is moderate at 4814.

Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd of September are similar – clean but marginal. The standout on Thursday afternoon is 8ft SSW swell, 14-second period, and a 12 mph offshore westerly – that’s very good surf conditions, with moderate energy at 2918, and clean lines.

Then the second week gets wild. Friday the 4th of September sees a massive 20ft SSW swell roll in with a 31 mph near gale cross-off wind – that’s poor, and the energy is strong at 18346. This is expert territory only, and even then, it’s messy. Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th are similar – 16ft to 18ft SW swell, strong winds, and clean but heavy. The energy stays strong, hitting 12706 on Sunday morning.

Now, the real standout is Monday the 7th of September. The morning brings a 20ft SSW swell with an 18-second period, a 12 mph offshore westerly, and exceptional surf conditions for experts. The combined energy is very strong at 20886. This is big, powerful groundswell, and with that long period, it’s going to be best at a point or reef, but Middleton is a beach break, so it might close out a bit. If you’re a charger, this is your window.

After that, it drops off. Tuesday the 8th of September has 8ft SW swell and a 15-second period, clean but marginal. Then Wednesday the 9th of September morning is a weird one – only 4ft of swell but with a 26-second period! That’s an incredibly long-period groundswell, and the energy is moderate at 4352, with excellent conditions for experienced surfers. That long period means it’ll be super clean and powerful on the takeoff, but with big gaps between sets.

Thursday the 10th of September through Saturday the 12th of September is mostly poor to marginal – cross-shore winds, choppy conditions, and dropping swell. The 13th of September, though, is a final gem: Sunday morning has 6ft SW swell with a 22-second period, glassy conditions with only 3 mph south winds, and the afternoon is even better – 16ft SW swell, 20-second period, and glassy with a 3 mph southerly. The energy is very strong at 17760, and it’s excellent for experienced surfers.

So, the best on offer? Monday the 7th of September morning for the big stuff, and Wednesday the 9th of September morning for that weird, ultra-long-period groundswell. The 13th of September afternoon is also a ripper if you can wait. Crowds are possible at Middleton Beach, so keep an eye out.

Stay patient, and you’ll get your waves.

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.
