The Lowdown

G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on offer for Middleton Beach over the next couple of weeks.

Alright, so we've got a bit of a slow start, but once it kicks in, there's a decent run of waves. The water temperature is sitting at 64.9°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The first real surf option we see is on Friday the 17th. The morning has a 4.6ft swell from the SW, with a 13-second period, and a light north breeze keeping it clean. The wave energy is moderate (884). It's a clean, surfable wave, but the break is very sheltered and inconsistent, so you'll need to be patient and pick your sets.

The pattern then builds. Saturday the 18th sees a jump in size, with a 6.9ft SW swell and 25 mph offshore winds in the morning. It's clean, but that's a strong breeze, making it tricky to paddle into. The afternoon kicks up to a 9.8ft SW swell with a very long 17-second period and a fresh offshore wind. The energy is strong (5313), and the waves will be clean. However, at 9.8ft, this is firmly in the expert-only zone, and the long period will make it break a bit straight at the beach, so it could be a bit of a freight train.

Sunday the 19th is where it gets interesting. The morning offers a 6.6ft SW swell with a 14-second period, and a moderate offshore wind from the W. The energy is strong (2110) and the waves are clean. The afternoon glassed off with a 9 mph cross-offshore breeze, with a 6.9ft SSW swell. This is a standout period. The waves are clean, have good energy, and the size is solid for a good surfer without being completely out of control.

Monday the 20th is a bit more relaxed, with a morning 6.9ft SSW swell (11-second period) and a cross-offshore breeze, but the energy is still high (1658). The afternoon gets a nice gentle offshore wind and a 4.3ft SSW swell, making for a clean, user-friendly wave.

The mid-week shows a solid pulse. Tuesday the 21st morning is a bit messy with a cross-shore wind, but the afternoon cleans up with an 8.2ft SSW swell (13 seconds) and a cross-offshore breeze. Wednesday the 22nd is a real highlight. The morning has a 7.9ft SSW swell (14 seconds) with a gentle offshore wind, and the energy is very strong (3877). The afternoon stays clean with a 9.8ft SSW swell and a light breeze. This is top-tier for the experienced surfer – clean, powerful, and good shape.

The run continues through Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th with clean waves in the 4.6ft to 6.6ft range and good offshores, but the energy drops off a bit. The real standout day is Wednesday the 22nd of July.

After a small, low-energy Sunday the 26th with a 3.0ft glassy long-period swell (1301), the waves pick up again on Monday the 27th with a 7.9ft SSW swell and a gentle offshore. The energy is strong (2424), and it’s clean.

The forecast gets a bit more uncertain as we head into the second week. The last few days of July show a mix of solid size and decent winds. The standouts in this period are the 30th of July, with a 7.2ft SW swell (17 seconds) and a gentle offshore in the afternoon, and the 31st of July, with a clean 6.2ft SW swell in the morning. The energy is strong (2794 and 2376 respectively). The 1st of August throws a massive 11.5ft SW swell at us, but the wind is cross-shore, making it look more like a kite-surfing day than a clean paddle session. The energy is extreme (7970), but it's a messy, heaving beast.

Overall, the best bets are Sunday the 19th and Wednesday the 22nd of July. Both offer clean, punchy waves with good energy and offshore winds.

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.

Middleton Beach is 8 km (5 miles) from Albany. If you plan a holiday in Far South of Western Australia, look for hotels and other accommodation in Albany. Albany has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
