The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's cast an eye over what we've got cooking for Middleton Beach.

First up, the long-range picture. We’ve got a lot of swell energy on the way, but the wind is going to be the main character in this story. For much of the first week, the onshores and cross-shore breezes are going to make a mess of things, so we’ll have to be patient.

Saturday the 5th kicks off with a 7ft SW groundswell (period 14 seconds) and a NNW cross-off breeze. The combined energy is strong (3234), but the score isn't great, so it’s more of a look-see than a full-blown session.

Sunday the 6th is a write-off. The swell builds to 10ft but with a strong cross-onshore SSE wind, it’s just going to be a washing machine. Choppy and poor.

Monday the 7th sees a big 12ft SSW groundswell (period 17 seconds) rolling in. The combined energy is very strong (6231). The wind is a gentler cross-onshore, but it's still on it. It’s going to be big and a bit lumpy – one for experienced surfers only. The water temp is about average for this time of year.

Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th are both blown out by strong cross-onshore and onshore winds, despite the size. Kite surfers might be having a ball, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a skip.

Thursday the 10th through to Monday the 14th is a real mixed bag. The swell drops off and the winds are messy. The one bright spot is Saturday the 12th morning. We get a 5ft SW groundswell (period 16 seconds) with a clean, gentle offshore W wind. The combined energy is moderate (1985) but the conditions are there. It’ll be clean and fun for a few hours on the longer boards. Keep in mind, this break is very sheltered and inconsistent, so you have to be in the right spot at the right time. And yes, crowds are possible here.

The second week starts to show some serious promise, even if it’s a bit further out. Thursday the 17th afternoon has a 10ft SW groundswell (period 16 seconds) with a fresh offshore W wind. That’s a powerful combo with very strong energy (4653). This is the standout of the outlook. It’s big—over 8ft—so it’s for experts only. That long period (16 seconds) and offshore wind could produce some really clean, powerful lines, but a beach break like this might have it breaking a bit straight with that long period.

The very end of the outlook, Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th, is showing some monster swells. Saturday has a 13ft SW groundswell (period 18 seconds) with crazy strong energy (11940), but it’s blowing a near gale. Sunday the 20th is looking even bigger with a 20ft SW groundswell (period 15 seconds) and the most extreme energy in the whole run (16529). The wind is light though, which is rare. This is the real long-range wildcard. It’s a once-in-a-while kind of thing if it comes together. Huge, clean, and only for the brave.

To sum it up: The first week is mostly a bust for a good wave, with only Saturday the 12th morning offering a small, clean window for a longboard. The true standout is Thursday the 17th afternoon for the experts, and the real monster potential is on Sunday the 20th, but that’s a long way off, so keep an eye 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.
