Table - best surf conditions forecast for Middleton Beach over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
Truth is, Middleton Beach is in for a rough stretch. There’s almost two weeks where the wind and swell just don’t cooperate, and the first real session isn’t until Monday the 21st of September. That’s about 8 days of poor to marginal conditions before anything worth paddling out for.
Overview
From the start on Sunday the 13th, it’s a bust. A little swell, but the wind is up and sideshore. Water temp is about 63°F – that’s a touch warmer than normal for the season. Monday the 14th brings a 12ft SW swell, but it’s cross-on and choppy. Way too big for beginners and not fun for anyone else. Tuesday through Thursday stays ugly with gusty cross-onshore wind and lumpy surf. The energy numbers are high for a few days (from 4381 up to 3443), but it’s all wasted on bad wind.
The Only Good Window
Monday morning the 21st of September is your shot. A 8ft SSW groundswell with a 15-second period – that’s long-period, quality groundswell with punch and good shape. The wind is offshore from the W at just 9 mph, so expect clean, glassy faces. Energy is 2990 – solid moderate-to-strong. It’s the clear standout. Just keep in mind Middleton Beach (Middleton-Beach) is very sheltered and the swell direction (SW) doesn’t match the optimum (SSE), so it won’t be perfect. For an inconsistent spot that rarely breaks, this is a rare chance at clean waves. Still fine for intermediate surfers.
The Rest
Monday afternoon and Tuesday the 22nd keep the size around 10ft, but the wind swings cross-offshore, so not as clean. By Wednesday the 23rd, the wind goes light cross-on and the quality drops. From Thursday the 24th onward, it’s back to poor, lumpy conditions with onshore winds and some rain. Nothing else to get excited about. For a break that’s usually inconsistent and sheltered, this is a one-morning-only deal.
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.
