Alright, let me have a look at what we’ve got coming up for Middleton Beach.
Right off the bat, the water temp is sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might not need the thickest of rubber.
Now, the surf. There’s no real small stuff to start; we jump straight into a strong pulse of swell. Tuesday morning the 7th of July, we’ve got a solid 12ft SSW groundswell pumping in with a very long period of 16 seconds. The combined energy is massive at 6125, so we’re talking powerful, heavy lumps. The wind is glassy off the WNW, which is absolute perfection for cleanliness, but this one is for experienced surfers only – that’s a lot of water moving around. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.
The quality holds through Wednesday the 8th with more 10ft SW groundswell, still a long 16-17 second period, and clean offshore winds from the WNW. The energy is still very strong (4631 and 4041). Thursday the 9th sees the swell drop to a more manageable 7ft to 5ft, still with offshore winds and clean conditions, making for good, solid waves.
Friday the 10th is a bit of a write-off with a drop in size and strong cross-off winds making things messy. But don’t stress, Saturday the 11th picks back up with a 8ft SSW swell for the morning session and clean, groomed conditions. Not the standout, but a decent option.
The real highlight, though, looks like Sunday the 12th of July. The afternoon session is firing with a 13ft SSW groundswell at a 17-second period. The combined energy is a staggering 12165 – that’s as strong as it gets. Winds are light and cross-off, so it will be clean, but this is serious, expert-only territory. If you’re not confident in big, powerful surf, sit this one out.
Monday the 13th keeps the quality with a 12ft swell and glassy offshore wind in the morning, but the afternoon turns a bit bumpy with a cross-onshore breeze.
After that, we have a run of solid, clean days from the 14th through the 18th, all in the 8ft to 12ft range with good wind. A standout there is the morning of Tuesday the 14th with glassy conditions and a 10ft SSW groundswell, or the morning of Friday the 17th with a good offshore and 10ft SW swell.
The stretch from the 19th to the 20th of July gets ugly – strong cross-onshore winds and poor surf quality. That’s a gap to avoid.
We finish the run nicely, though. Tuesday the 21st of July brings back the clean, offshore winds and a 8ft SSW groundswell, with very good surf conditions. Wednesday the 22nd is a little smaller at 6ft to 4ft, but still clean with moderate offshore winds, a good option for a wider range of surfers.
So, the absolute standout windows are Sunday the 12th for the serious chargers and Tuesday morning the 7th or the morning of Friday the 17th for expert-level clean waves.

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.
