The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s shaping up for Middleton Beach. We’ve got a solid run of swell ahead, but it’s a bit of a mixed bag with the wind.
The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 65°F.
We kick off on Tuesday the 4th of August. The morning is a bit average with a 8ft SW swell and a cross-off wind making it clean, but the energy is moderate (4704). The afternoon is a step up though. The swell pushes to 10ft from the SW with a very long period of 17 seconds, and the wind goes offshore. That’s proper groundswell energy (5322) and it’s going to be clean for the experienced crew. Wednesday the 5th is the early standout. First light is glassy, with the wind so light you can barely feel it. The swell is a solid 13ft from the SW with a 16-second period, and the energy is pumping (8170). For an experienced surfer, that’s about as good as it gets—clean, powerful, and empty feeling. The afternoon goes a bit average with a cross-on breeze, so make the most of the morning.
Thursday the 6th has a similar story: morning is clean with a cross-off and 10ft SW swell, but the wind is a touch stronger. Friday the 7th keeps the offshore flow going with 12ft and 10ft SW swell, all clean and solid. This whole stretch from Wednesday morning through Friday afternoon is a good run.
Now, Saturday the 8th gets wild. The swell jumps to 16ft in the morning and 20ft in the afternoon, but the wind is howling from the SW at 28 mph. The energy is massive (10063 and 16803), but it’s going to be a washing machine. That’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session unless you’re a total charger. Sunday the 9th is still big at 18ft, but the wind backs off a bit. Monday the 10th sees another peak with 21ft SSW swell and extreme energy (20977), but the cross-off wind is strong. This is big, raw, and only for the brave.
Looking further out, the energy drops a bit mid-week. Wednesday the 12th morning looks good again with 12ft SW swell and offshore wind, clean and solid. The period drops to 12 seconds on the 15th, and the swell backs off to 8ft by Sunday the 16th. The 17th and 18th see another spike of 20ft and 16ft, but with strong winds again.
The real standout window is Wednesday the 5th morning. That’s the one to circle. Glassy, 13ft of long-period SW groundswell, and all that energy (8170) focused right in. For experienced surfers, that’s the pick of the 16 days. The other strong call is Tuesday the 4th afternoon and the whole of Friday the 7th—offshore winds and solid 10ft to 12ft SW swell. The last week has some promising signs too, especially Wednesday the 19th morning with 13ft SW and offshore wind, but it’s further out so less certain.

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.
