The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Middleton Beach.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, with a whole lot of nothing good for the first few days. The surf we do get is hampered by strong, cross-onshore winds and a messy, choppy surface. It’s not until Friday the 11th that things start to clean up, and even then it’s only marginal. The water is sitting at 64°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Saturday the 12th. The morning shows a clean 7ft of SW groundswell, with a moderate offshore wind out of the west. The combined energy is a solid 2207 (moderate), but it’s the clean conditions that make it worth a look. It’s still a bit of a mixed bag, so don’t expect perfection.
Now, the real standout is a long way off, but it’s a cracker. On Sunday the 20th of September, we’ve got some absolutely pumping conditions lining up. The morning brings a very long-period 21ft swell from the SSW, with a period of 17 seconds and a massive combined energy of 22921 (very strong). It’s blowing a moderate offshore from the WNW, keeping the faces clean. This is expert territory only, no question. The swell is too big and powerful for anyone but the most experienced. It’s a rare, big-wave day for the region.
The days leading up to that are also big, with 16ft to 20ft swells from the 17th through the 19th, but the winds are stronger and less favourable, making for a much more challenging, and potentially dangerous, paddle. The 20th is the clear winner.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a write-off. The second week starts to show promise, but the big prize is that Sunday the 20th. Keep an eye on the forecast, because that one could be a session to remember.

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.
