The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here, giving you the lowdown on the surf for this area. We're only looking at one spot, Middleton Beach, and it's a place that needs the stars to align—it's very sheltered and doesn't break often. So over this 16-day stretch, there are some big gaps when it's just not worth paddling out.
Water temp at the start is about 65°F, a touch warmer than usual for the season.
The first few days, starting Thursday the 30th of July, have some wave height but the wind isn't playing ball. Thursday morning has a 4ft SSW swell with a 14-second period and a cross-off breeze. By Friday the 31st, the swell jumps to 10ft, then 13ft by the afternoon, but it's blowing hard and the conditions are rough. The ocean's already got some good energy, readings over 1000 (moderate) and climbing into four digits, showing there's plenty of power.
The first real chance for a clean wave looks like Sunday morning, August 2nd. A 7ft SW swell (13-second period) with light north winds and clean conditions. It's a good, manageable size. The energy is moderate at 2938.
But the big standout, and I mean the one to circle, is Tuesday the 4th of August. A solid 12ft SW groundswell, a 18-second period, with a gentle offshore wind from the west. The combined energy is a massive 6876—that's very strong. This is a proper winter swell. The 18-second period is very long, which means it'll have heaps of power and long lulls between sets. At a beach break like this, it might not be the most perfect shape, but for an expert surfer, the power will be incredible. The crowds can show up "sometimes," but when it's that big, you'll likely have more room. Wednesday the 5th is another belter with a 13ft SSW swell and gentle offshore wind—again, expert territory only.
The pattern keeps rolling with big SSW swell in the 8ft to 13ft range through the next week, with winds staying clean or cross-off. Thursday the 6th, Monday the 10th, and Friday the 14th of August are all showing excellent conditions for experienced surfers.
For the advanced crew, lock in Tuesday the 4th, Wednesday the 5th, and that Friday the 14th. For a more relaxed session, Sunday the 2nd and Monday the 3rd are your best hope for clean, smaller waves.
This is Rusty, out.

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.
