The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Middleton Beach over the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but once it kicks off, it’s going to be a proper run of solid, powerful swell. The water’s sitting at 65° – a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, which is a nice bonus.

First up, Monday the 3rd of August. Middleton Beach is showing some 5ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period. That’s a long-period, clean, punchy swell. Wind is a cross-off from the NNW at 9 mph, keeping things tidy. The combined energy is moderate (1273). It’s not huge, but it’s clean, and the break is inconsistent – so you’ll need some patience. Still, a decent little session to start the week.

Tuesday the 4th is where things get serious. The swell jumps to 10ft from the SW, 17-second period, with offshore wind from the W at 16 mph. That’s big, powerful, and clean. Combined energy is strong (5322). This is only for experienced surfers – over 8ft, so beginners should sit this one out. The break is often crowded, so expect company.

Wednesday the 5th holds 13ft from the SSW, but the wind swings cross-on from the S and ENE, introducing small ripples. The energy is very strong (8370), but the quality drops. Not the pick of the week.

Thursday the 6th afternoon looks better again: 10ft SW swell, 16-second period, cross-off wind from the W at 9 mph, clean. Strong energy (5011). Another one for the experienced crew.

Friday the 7th morning is a standout: 12ft SW, 15-second period, offshore wind from the WNW at 12 mph, clean. Energy is strong (5549). This is well-shaped, powerful, and clean. The crowds will be there, but it’s worth it.

Saturday the 8th is massive. 21ft SW swell on the afternoon, 16-second period, cross-off wind from the WSW at 19 mph. The combined energy is extreme (38368). This is a serious, big-wave day – only for experts. The setup is a beach break, so with that long period, it might be a bit too straight and heavy. Could be more interesting for kite surfers than paddle surfing.

Sunday the 9th morning: 20ft SW, 16-second period, offshore wind from the W at 16 mph. Energy is extreme (28284). Still huge, still clean, still only for the brave.

Monday the 10th morning: 16ft SSW, 15-second period, fresh offshore from the WNW at 22 mph. Energy is very strong (20257). Clean and powerful, but the wind is strong enough to make paddling a challenge.

The rest of the week from the 11th to the 13th keeps pumping 13ft to 23ft SW swell, with clean conditions and strong to extreme energy. The break is inconsistent, so you’ll be waiting for sets, but when they come, they’ll be big.

From the 14th onward, the swell drops back. Friday the 14th has a 4ft SSW swell with a very long 20-second period, but cross-shore wind and light energy (2523). Not great.

Saturday the 15th has 10ft SSW swell, but onshore wind from the E at 9 mph – messy.

Sunday the 16th afternoon is a nice little finisher: 8ft SSW swell, 16-second period, cross-off wind from the NNW at 6 mph, clean. Combined energy is moderate (2857). Expect very good surf conditions. The break is inconsistent, so you’ll still need to be patient, but it’s clean and fun.

The standout window is Tuesday the 4th through Monday the 10th of August – that’s where the true power and quality sit. The best single session is probably Thursday the 6th afternoon or Friday the 7th morning: big, clean, offshore, and consistent enough to get some proper waves. Crowds will be likely, but it’s worth the squeeze.

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.

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.
