The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Middleton Beach over the next 16 days.

Overall, this is a stretch with some serious size and energy, but the wind is going to be the main character here. We’ve got a couple of real standout windows, but also some periods where it’s just too blown out or messy to bother. The water temp is sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.

The first real chance to get wet kicks off on Monday, 27 July, but honestly, it’s a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a 8ft SW swell at 13 seconds, but with a 25 km/h SW cross-off wind, it’s just not clean enough. The combined energy is strong (2607), but the conditions are marginal. Tuesday morning, 28 July, is a different story. We’re looking at a 10ft SSW swell with a 14-second period, and the wind is glassy from the WNW at just 5 km/h. That’s a proper standout. The water will be clean, the energy is high (3890), and it’s going to be a ripper of a session for experienced surfers.

Tuesday afternoon stays solid with a 10ft SSW swell, 14-second period, and a light cross-off breeze. It’s clean, powerful, and the energy jumps to 4570. Wednesday morning, 29 July, sees a 7ft S swell with a 11-second period, and a cross-off wind from the N. It’s clean, but the energy is a bit lower (2624). Wednesday afternoon is a beauty – 6ft SSW swell with a very long 16-second period, and glassy conditions from the NNE. That’s a long-period groundswell, so it’ll be better shaped, with longer lulls between sets. It’s a great option for a late arvo paddle.

Thursday, 30 July, is smaller but clean. Morning has a 4ft SW swell with a 15-second period, and a cross-off breeze. Afternoon goes glassy with a 4ft SSW swell. Both are clean, but not the big stuff. Friday, 31 July, is where it gets big again. The morning has a 10ft SSW swell with a very long 17-second period, but a 25 km/h cross-off wind makes it a bit touch and go. The real standout comes Friday afternoon – a 13ft SSW swell, 17-second period, and clean offshore wind from the WNW at 25 km/h. The combined energy is massive (8120). This is big, powerful, and for experts only. If you’ve got the skills, this is the session.

The weekend gets rowdy. Saturday, 1 August, has a 18ft SSW swell, but a 30 km/h cross-off wind makes it a mess. The energy is enormous (12645), but it’s just not rideable for most. Sunday, 2 August, drops to 10ft, but the wind is cross-shore, and the afternoon gets a cross-on breeze. Not great.

Early next week, Monday, 3 August, is a rest day with a smaller 5ft SW swell, clean but weak. Tuesday, 4 August, is another standout. Morning has a 10ft SSW swell with an 18-second period – that’s a very long period groundswell – and a light cross-off breeze. The energy is high (6147), and it’s clean. This is a serious session for experienced surfers. Wednesday, 5 August, stays big (10ft to 12ft), but the wind picks up to 35 km/h, making it choppy and marginal. Thursday, 6 August, is a gem with a 10ft SW swell, 15-second period, and a clean offshore breeze from the NW. The energy is solid (4245), and it’s a great day for a paddle.

The second week starts to get messy. Friday, 7 August, through Monday, 10 August, has plenty of size (10ft to 15ft), but the wind is consistently 25-45 km/h, creating cross-off or cross-on chop. The energy is high, but the quality drops. By Tuesday, 11 August, it’s a full-on washout with a 15ft SW swell, 18-second period, and a strong 25 km/h cross-on wind. The combined energy is massive (12280), but it’s choppy and poor. This is more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one.

So, the true standouts are Tuesday morning, 28 July, and Tuesday morning, 4 August. Both offer clean, powerful, groundswell-driven surf with light winds. Friday afternoon, 31 July, is the big-wave call for experts. The rest of the window is either too small, too windy, or too messy to be worth the drive.

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.

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.
