The Lowdown
Righto mates, Rusty here with the lowdown on Middleton Beach. We’ve got a whole lotta water moving, but you gotta be smart about when you paddle out.
Water temp is about 64°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – not a huge deal, but it’s a nice touch.
The big news is a big, long-period SSW groundswell hitting Thursday morning. We’re looking at a solid 13ft wave with a deep 15-second period. The combined energy is pumping at 6123 (moderate-to-strong). The wind is a cross-offshore from the NNW at 12 mph, keeping things clean. But this spot is sheltered, so that big swell might not break with the full grunt. Thursday morning is for experienced surfers only – that’s a powerful wave that’ll chew up beginners.
Thursday afternoon cleans up even more with the wind going fully offshore from the NW at 12 mph, dropping to 12ft and still holding that deep 15-second period, energy still strong at 5224. The conditions are excellent for those in the know. This is your best window early on.
Friday is a total mess. Friday morning the wind goes berserk with a SW gale at 28 mph. The swell hits 16ft but it’s all blown out. The afternoon stays lumpy with a 10ft SW swell and cross-offshore winds.
The weekend fades. Saturday morning the swell drops to 7ft, still okay period at 14 seconds, but the wind is cross-offshore, energy moderate at 3092. Saturday afternoon gets smaller and weaker with some rain. Sunday is poor – onshore wind, lumpy, not worth it.
Now, the real standout comes a week from next Monday, on September 14th. Monday morning is a stunner: glassy conditions with ENE winds at just 3 mph, a clean 10ft SSW swell with 15-second period, and energy at 4003. The conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers, and that glassy surface is what dreams are made of. This is the pick of the whole 16 days, but it’s a long-range call – promising, but not locked in.
The days after that are mixed up with cross-shore and onshore winds. There’s a little clean spell on September 17th and 18th with light offshore winds, but the swell is weaker – around 5ft to 7ft – and period drops to 11-14 seconds. It’s fine for a cruise, but not the highlight.
So, to wrap it up: Thursday is for the big-wave crew. The absolute best bet is that glassy Monday morning on the 14th. Everything else is a wind gamble.
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.
