The Lowdown
Alright, crew, Rusty here. Let’s talk Middleton Beach.
This is a very sheltered beginner spot that doesn’t break often, so we’ve got to pick our moments. The water is sitting at 65° — a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, which is a nice surprise.
We don’t see any real surf until Tuesday 28 July morning. A 10ft SSW swell with a 14-second period, and the wind is glassy from the SE. That’s clean, clean, clean. The combined energy is solid (3890), so there’s plenty of power. Afternoon holds the same size and wind, energy up to 4271. This is the best session of the first week — for a beginner spot, this is a dream.
Wednesday 29 July morning drops to 7ft with a shorter 11-second period and a cross-off north wind. It’s okay, not special. Afternoon improves with a 6ft SSW swell and a 16-second period — that long period will give some nice lines, but the cross-off breeze keeps it from being perfect.
Thursday 30 July is a write-off. Swell drops to 5ft–6ft, cross-off NNW wind, energy falling to 1462. Poor.
Friday 31 July morning is still marginal with 8ft and cross-off NW wind, but the afternoon gets interesting. We get an 12ft SSW swell with a 17-second period and offshore wind from the W. Energy jumps to 6580, and it’s fresh offshore and clean. That’s a proper session for the experienced crew — the size is getting into expert-only territory.
Saturday 1 August is messy. 16ft–18ft of SSW swell, but cross-off and strong wind (40 km/h). Energy is massive (12394), but it’s going to be a washing machine. This looks more like a kite-surfing show.
Sunday 2 August drops to 8ft with cross-shore wind, creating a cross-chop. Not great.
Monday 3 August afternoon is worth a mention: 6ft, glassy with ENE wind, and a 14-second period. Energy is low (1647), but it’ll be clean and fun for a beginner.
Now the second week. Tuesday 4 August morning: 10ft SSW swell, 16-second period, cross-off NW wind, energy of 4037. Excellent for experienced surfers. Afternoon is similar but a touch smaller at 8ft.
Wednesday 5 August afternoon is a standout: 10ft SSW swell, 16-second period, cross-off from the NW, energy of 4587. Excellent.
Thursday 6 August drops to 8ft–8ft with cross-off SW wind. Marginal.
Friday 7 August morning: 12ft SW swell, 16-second period, offshore from the NW, energy of 6406. This is a gem — moderate offshore and clean.
Saturday 8 August sees 12ft–13ft of SW swell but with cross-off north wind. Clean but not as good.
Then Sunday 9 August brings a massive pulse: 23ft SW swell with a 20-second period. Energy is staggering (37089). Cross-off SW wind, clean but strictly for the big-wave crew. Monday 10 August — 21ft–25ft SW swell, 17-second period, offshore from the WNW, energy peaking at 52043. Exceptional but only for experts.
Best bet overall? Tuesday 28 July for the glassy conditions and clean 10ft sets. For the bigger stuff, Friday 7 August morning offers the best combo of offshore wind and serious size.
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.
