The Lowdown

Right, let's have a look at what's on offer for Middleton Beach. The water's sitting at 64°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that's a nice little bonus. But don't get too excited just yet, because the first few days are a bit of a mixed bag.

We've got a solid pulse of swell rolling in from the SSW, but the problem is the wind. Tuesday the 28th kicks off with a 10ft SSW swell, and that afternoon looks glassy, which is a treat. The energy is strong at 4570, and the swell period is 14 seconds – a proper groundswell. That's a big, powerful wave for the experienced crew. But by Wednesday morning, the south swell drops a touch to 7ft, and we get a clean cross-off breeze from the north. That's a decent window, but the energy is a bit lower at 2621.

The standout day is definitely Friday the 31st. The swell pumps up to 12ft to 13ft from the SSW, with a 16 to 17-second period and the wind is offshore, blowing from the WNW. We're talking a combined energy of 5767 and 7361. This is for the experienced surfer only – it's going to be powerful, clean, and absolutely firing. The crowd factor is "sometimes", so you might have a few others out, but it'll be worth it.

Now, things get a bit hairy after that. Saturday the 1st of August sees the swell hit 16ft, but the wind swings onshore and the conditions get messy. That's a lot of water moving around, and a 16ft wave is expert territory at best, but the poor quality means it's a no-go for a good surf. Then we get a few days of smaller, cleaner swell from the 2nd to the 4th, but the wind is strong and the quality is poor. The energy is moderate, around 1291 to 3046, but it's just not coming together.

The second week is a bit of a wild card. The 5th of August has a 15ft swell from the WSW, but the period is a short 8 seconds, which is a bit of a close-out setup. The wind is offshore, but that short period energy at 2636 is a bit messy. The 7th of August has a massive 15ft SSW swell with a 18-second period and a combined energy of 12294, but the wind is so strong it's a "near gale" – this is more for the kite crew than the paddle crew. The 9th of August is even bigger, with a 20ft SW swell, but the wind is a near gale again. The energy is absolutely massive at 13471, but it's not a fun wave to paddle into.

So, to sum it up: Friday the 31st of July is your best bet. It's a proper, powerful, clean groundswell with offshore winds. If you're an experienced surfer, that's your window. The rest of the forecast is a bit of a battle between big swell and strong winds, or smaller swell with poor quality. There's a few gaps in the middle where the surf is just not worth it, so pick your day carefully.

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.
