The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Middleton Beach.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a mixed bag. The first few days are a write-off for any decent paddle. Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th are blown out, either with messy cross-off winds or howling near-gales. Sunday morning actually has a massive 16ft swell from the WSW, but with 31 mph winds, that’s just a washing machine for the kites, not the surfboards. From Monday the 27th, we start to see the swell drop into a more manageable 7ft to 8ft range, but the wind is still a problem, mostly cross-shore and lumpy. Nothing really clicks until the end of the week.
The first true standout arrives on Wednesday the 29th. The morning session is the pick. We’ve got a clean, 4ft SSW groundswell with a long 17-second period, and the wind is a light cross-off. That long period means the waves will have a lot of juice and shape, but it’s a sheltered beach, so it might get a bit wonky. The combined energy is moderate (2262). The real magic happens on Wednesday afternoon though—the wind goes glassy, swinging NNW at just 3 mph. The swell pulses up to 5ft, still that long 16-second period out of the SSW. This is the window to be in the water, with clean, glassy conditions. It’s the best on offer this week.
The good run continues. Thursday the 30th morning is also clean (7ft, 14-second SSW) with a light cross-off, and the energy is building (2253). Friday the 31st is the big one. The morning has a solid 8ft, 16-second SSW groundswell (3328 energy) and light cross-off. But the afternoon is where it gets serious for the experienced crew. The swell period jumps to a very long 22 seconds, with a 6ft wave. The combined energy jumps to 6916, and the wind is a perfect light cross-off. This is set up for some proper, powerful lines, but that 22-second period is a very long groundswell, which can be tricky at a beach. It’s a session for the guys who know what they’re doing.
Further out, the first weekend of August (Saturday the 1st and Sunday the 2nd) looks promising. Saturday has a clean 12ft to 13ft SSW swell with moderate 16-17 second periods and cross-off winds. The energy is strong (7769). Sunday the 2nd afternoon is a gem: glassy conditions with a 7ft SW swell. After that, the wind starts to get rowdy again, but there are glimmers. The 8th of August has a massive 15ft, 21-second SW swell (16066 energy) but it’s light cross-onshore, so it might be a bit bumpy. That’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it.
Bottom line: stick to Wednesday the 29th and Friday the 31st. Wednesday is the cleanest, easiest day for everyone. Friday is for the pros. The consistency is decent, but the wind is the enemy at the start. It won’t stay flat for long.
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.
