The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s coming for Middleton Beach. This is a very sheltered spot, so it takes a special combination to fire up. The water’s a touch warmer than normal at 64°F.
Alright, straight up, we’ve got a frustrating gap at the start. Nothing really worth paddling out for until Wednesday the 26th of August, and even then, it’s a mixed bag. The standout in the whole 16-day window, the one you’d circle on the calendar, is Monday the 8th of September. That morning, we’ve got a solid 13ft SW groundswell (period 16 seconds) pouring in, combined energy is pumping at 7594, and the wind is a light north-westerly cross-off. Middleton will be clean, lined up, and proper heavy – that’s expert territory only. The other beauty is Sunday the 6th of September morning. It’s a bit smaller at 8ft from the SSW (14 second period), but it’s glassy. Absolute magic conditions, and with 3840 combined energy, it’ll be a ripper for those who can handle the long period – it might wall up a bit at this beach, but it’ll still be a treat.
Leading into that, we have Wednesday morning the 26th of August. It’s 10ft SW groundswell (15 seconds) with light WNW offshore wind, making for clean, powerful waves. The combined energy is 6278. It gets the nod for experienced surfers but be aware: it’s inconsistent here, and crowds are sometimes a thing. Wednesday afternoon gets messy with a cross-shore. Thursday the 27th and Friday the 28th are write-offs with strong onshore winds and lumpy conditions. Saturday the 29th has clean offshore wind in the morning with a 7ft SSW groundswell, but it’s still scoring poorly due to the mix of other swells. Sunday the 30th is a cross-shore affair with a solid 10ft SSW groundswell, but it’s marginal. Monday afternoon the 31st through to Tuesday the 1st of September are on the poor side. Wednesday the 2nd of September has clean offshore wind but only 5ft – small and clean for a quiet paddle but nothing special.
Now, let’s look at the second week. Thursday the 3rd of September has a cross-off wind and 8ft to 10ft SSW swell – clean but not a true standout. Friday the 4th of September morning is clean with 10ft SSW groundswell and gentle cross-off, but the combined energy is high at 4899. Saturday the 5th of September morning is a good bet: 8ft SSW, light offshore, clean. Then that glassy Sunday morning. Monday the 7th of September morning brings 12ft SSW groundswell with an 18-second period, glassy – that’s a proper session for experienced surfers. Tuesday the 8th is the absolute highlight. Wednesday the 9th gets big and messy with 20ft SW and a lumpy cross-shore – that’s kite-surfing territory. Thursday the 10th is clean-ish but the wind stays onshore, with 12ft to 10ft SW swell.
So to sum it up: the first few days are a frustrating wait, but the 6th to the 8th of September are the real standouts. Keep an eye on them.
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.
