The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way for the next couple of weeks.
First up, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. Nothing really worth paddling out for until around the 16th of September. The early part of the window is a write-off with messy, windy conditions and not much quality. We’ll be waiting about a week before things start to turn.
The standout window kicks off on the morning of Wednesday the 16th of September. Middleton Beach is looking clean with a light offshore breeze and a solid 8ft groundswell from the SSW, packing plenty of energy (3618). The water is sitting at 63°, about a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, which is a nice surprise. That afternoon, the wind swings offshore from the NW, keeping things glassy with a 8ft SW swell. This is where you want to be if you’re after some clean, decent shape.
Then, hold onto your board shorts. The morning of Monday the 21st of September is the real standout. We’re looking at a big, powerful 15ft groundswell from the SSW, with a very long 17-second period. The combined swell energy is pumping at 10702 – this is serious, experienced-surfer territory only. Wind is offshore from the WNW, keeping the surface clean. This is big, heavy, and for the crew who know what they’re doing. The following afternoon is much the same, still with 15ft sets and offshore winds.
Before that, the Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th offer some cleaner, smaller options with offshore breezes, but the real firepower is on the 21st.
Because of the long-period groundswell, the wave shape at a beach break like Middleton might be a bit too straight for some, but the offshore wind and power will still give some memorable rides for the experts. Be aware, this spot can get busy sometimes.
So, for the next week or so, sit tight. Then, from the 16th, things slowly clean up, with the absolute best being the big swell on Monday the 21st.
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.
