Alright folks, Rusty here, looking at what Middleton Beach has in store. It’s a mixed bag, so let’s get straight to the point.
The water’s sitting about 65°F, which is dead normal for this time of year.
First up, things are a bit raw for a few days. There’s size, but the wind is making a mess of it. The first real highlight hits on Tuesday the 7th. We’ve got solid 11-12ft SSW swell with a long 16-second period. The energy in the water is huge. What sells it is the light breeze keeping it clean all day. This one’s for the experienced crew only – that’s a lot of water moving, and with that long period, it’ll be working better on the deeper edges of the beach or any reefy sections.
After a few average days, Sunday the 12th is the real jewel. The morning is glassy with a 10ft S swell and an insane 18-second period. The energy reading is massive. The afternoon gets even bigger, hitting 13ft from the SSW. The wind is nearly dead flat. This is a serious, expert-only day. It’s going to be powerful and clean, but you need to know what you’re doing.
The 13th of July (Monday) is also a great call with clean 8-7ft SSW swell and light offshore wind. Great quality, good shape.
The rest of the second week has some clean, smaller days around 6-8ft on the 14th and 15th which are much more manageable for a strong intermediate. But the final weekend looks like a write-off with strong winds and bumpy surf.
Middleton can be inconsistent, so these windows are precious. If you’re not a gun surfer, aim for the cleaner 6-8ft days around the 13th and 14th. For the biggest, cleanest waves of the forecast, you’re looking at Tuesday the 7th and Sunday the 12th.
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.
