The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what Middleton Beach has in store for us over the next couple of weeks. We’ve got some serious size coming, but this isn’t a spot for the faint of heart or the learner crew. The water is sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might get away with a slightly thinner wetsuit.

The first real action kicks off Friday morning, August 7th. We’re seeing a solid 13ft SW groundswell rolling in with a 15-second period. The combined energy is a massive 6055, which is strong. The wind is offshore from the WNW, and that’s going to keep things clean. This is excellent surf, but only for experienced surfers. It’s a big, powerful wave. The swell direction is SW, which is a little off the optimum SSE direction for this spot, so it might be a bit more raw than perfect. But with that offshore wind, it’s going to be a standout session for the groms who can handle it. Crowds are *sometimes* an issue here, so a Friday morning might be a good bet to beat the pack.

After that, the wind gets messy and the size just keeps ramping up. Saturday the 8th sees an 18ft to 21ft SW swell with near gale-force winds, making it a complete write-off. Sunday and Monday are still blown out or just marginal, with the swell dropping a bit but staying big.

The next real window of opportunity looks like Thursday morning, August 13th. We’ve got a 13ft SSW groundswell, again with a 15-second period, and the wind is offshore from the W at 12 mph. The energy is still strong at 7648. It’s another one for the experienced crew only. The wind won’t be glassy, but it’s a moderate offshore breeze, so it’ll be clean.

Friday afternoon, August 14th, is also worth a look. The swell drops to 12ft from the SSW with a 15-second period, and the wind is a light cross-offshore from the N at only 9 mph. The energy is 5115, still moderate. This is a great call for a more manageable size with very light wind, making it a clean and fun option for the experienced surfer.

Looking further out, Monday, August 17th, is showing some promise. The morning has an 12ft SW swell with a very long 17-second period, and the afternoon pushes to 13ft. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the N and NNW. The energy is high again at 7608. This is a long-range call, so it’s promising but not locked in. That long 17-second period is a groundswell that will have plenty of punch, but at a beach break like Middleton, it might break a little too straight and fat. Point and reef breaks would handle it better.

Wednesday afternoon, August 19th, is another one to circle. The swell is 10ft from the SW with a 16-second period, and the wind turns offshore from the WNW. The energy is moderate at 4522. This is a clean, solid session for the experienced crew.

Finally, Thursday morning, August 20th, looks like a potential standout for the second week. We’re seeing a 16ft SW swell with a 14-second period, and the wind is offshore from the WNW. The energy is very strong at 10437. This is big, powerful, and clean. But again, it’s a long-range call, so keep an eye on it.

After that, conditions deteriorate quickly with onshore winds and poor surf into the following weekend.

Overall, Middleton is firing on and off for the big wave hunters. Beginners should sit this one out. The consistent theme is that when it’s good, it’s big and powerful, and you need offshore wind to make it work. The best bets are Friday morning, August 7th, and Thursday morning, August 13th, with Monday, August 17th and Thursday, August 20th as promising long-range lookers.

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.
