The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s brewing at Middleton Beach.
The first few days are a bit of a mess. Thursday morning throws a 12ft SW groundswell at you, but with a 30 km/h cross-off, it’s not going to be a pretty sight. The combined energy is massive at 6021, so there’s plenty of power, but it’s fighty.
The real action kicks off on Friday morning. That’s a standout. We’re looking at a 13ft SW swell with a 15-second period, and the wind is a clean 20 km/h offshore from the WNW. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 65°, so it’s comfortable. This is for experienced surfers only – that size is serious. The energy reading is 6313, so it’s got grunt.
Friday afternoon holds at 10ft, but the wind picks up to 30 km/h, making it a bit more of a battle. The weekend goes wild. Saturday sees a 18ft to 20ft SW swell with near gale-force winds. That’s kite-surfing territory, not for the paddle crew. The energy readings are insane – 13194 and 19168 – but the conditions are poor.
Sunday is still big, with a 16ft SSW swell, but the wind swings more favourable. By Sunday afternoon, we’ve got a 10ft SW swell with a clean 30 km/h offshore. That’s a window of hope. The energy is 9185, so it’s still very powerful.
The following week is a mixed bag. There’s a monstrous 23ft SSW swell on Tuesday morning with a 17-second period, but the winds are cross-off and strong. That’s only for the brave. The energy reads 26951, which is off the charts.
The next standout is Thursday, 13th August. The swell drops to 15ft from the SSW, with a 16-17 second period. The wind is offshore and light, with a gentle breeze of 15 km/h. The energy is still high at 10966 and 11552, but the conditions are excellent for experienced surfers. That’s your window.
The following weekend, around 15th-16th August, the swell drops back to 10ft, with clean offshore winds on Sunday. The energy is lower, around 4741, so it’s a more relaxed session, but still good. The last real highlight is Monday, 17th August afternoon, with a 10ft SW swell, 16-second period, and a light 10 km/h cross-off breeze. The energy is 4444, and it’s an excellent, clean session.
So, to sum it up: if you’re an experienced surfer, Friday morning, 7th August, is the one to aim for – big swell, clean offshore, and heaps of power. Then, Thursday, 13th August, is another top pick with that nice, clean, long-period swell. For the rest of us, the second week has some cleaner, smaller windows, but it’s a waiting game.
Stay safe out there. This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
