The Lowdown
Alright, let’s have a look at what’s coming up for the next couple of weeks here at Middleton Beach.
Honestly, the first few days are a bit of a write-off for any proper surfing. Wednesday and Thursday of this week are just messy – lumpy, crumbly, and the wind is all wrong. You can pretty much forget about the 16th and 17th. It’s gonna be a slow burn until we get some real quality.
Things start to look a bit more interesting as we head into the back half of next week. The 24th of September is where it finally starts talking to us. Thursday morning is looking real sweet – clean, glassy conditions with a solid 7ft SSW groundswell. The energy is strong (2393), the water’s calm, and that cloud cover will keep the glare down. That’s a morning you’ll want to be in the water for. The afternoon gets a bit rougher, but the morning window is gold.
Now, the real standout in this whole run is Friday the 25th of September. This is the one. We’ve got a proper 13ft SW groundswell rolling in with a monster period of 19 seconds – that’s proper long-period groundswell, meaning heaps of energy and power. The combined energy is huge (11094), so this is serious. Offshore winds in the morning will be gentle and clean, making it prime for experienced surfers. This is not for the faint of heart. It’s big, it’s powerful, and it’s going to be a session to remember if you’ve got the skills. Water temps are sitting at a touch warmer than usual, about 63°, which is nice for this time of year.
Looking further out into the first couple of days of October, the swell holds in the 7-10ft range but the onshore wind starts to creep back in, so the quality drops off again. It’s not going to be as clean.
So bottom line: this forecast is all about that Friday the 25th. That’s the peak. Everything else around it is either too messy, too small, or too blown out. If you’ve got a free day that Friday, you know where to be.

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.
