The Lowdown
Alright, grab your wettie, let’s have a yarn about what’s coming up for Middleton Beach.
Honestly, right now things are pretty quiet. Over the next few days, you’re looking at small, inconsistent swells with tricky winds. The first chance of anything decent won’t appear until the morning of the 29th of July. Until then, there are long gaps with no real surf worth paddling out for.
That first little window on Wednesday the 29th is a sneaky one. Early morning we’ve got a clean 4ft swell from the SSW with a very long period of 17 seconds. That kind of period means proper groundswell energy – it’s not huge, but the wave shape will be good. Combined energy is moderate at 2347. The wind is light and cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean. The water temp is sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Crowds are a possibility here, so paddle out early.
Now, if you want the real standout, you need to circle the 31st of July. Friday morning looks unreal – offshore wind from the NW at 12 mph, clean conditions, and a solid 8ft SSW swell with a 16-second period. Combined energy is strong at 3841. That’s the kind of morning where the lineup has proper grunt and shape. By Friday afternoon, it kicks up even more to 12ft, still with a 17-second period and light cross-offshore breeze. The energy jumps to 6226 – proper strong. This is a day for experienced surfers only; it’ll be too much for beginners. The swell direction is right in the sweet spot for the break.
Looking further out, the 5th and 6th of August have some very large swell on the horizon, but conditions are messy. On the 5th, we’re talking 18 to 20ft from the SW with strong energy readings (12505 and 15464). That’s enormous, solid groundswell, but winds are fresh and gusty, and the rating suggests marginal conditions. Only for experts, and even then, it might be more of a kitesurfing day with that much power. The 6th of August morning calms down to 12ft with a gentle offshore breeze and excellent conditions forecast for experienced surfers – that’s the second standout, but it’s a long way out so keep an eye on it.
To sum it up: the best bet in the near term is Friday the 31st of July. The morning is clean and punchy, the afternoon is big and clean. Don’t sleep on the 29th for a sneaky glassy session either.

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.
