Middleton Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a proper look at what's coming down the pipe for Middleton Beach.

We’ve got a solid run of surf on the horizon, but it’s a bit of a mixed bag with the wind. The pattern is setting up with a series of powerful SW groundswells, but not every day is going to be a peach. You’ll want to pick your sessions carefully.

The first real standout is Saturday the 22nd. The morning is looking prime with a clean 8ft swell from the SSW at a long 16 seconds—that’s proper groundswell energy. The wind is a light, cross-off N breeze, so the conditions should be really good. This is your best bet early on. Keep in mind this is a very sheltered spot, so the swell is dialed in.

Sunday the 23rd is a write-off, unfortunately. The wind is messy and we've got rain and poor conditions. Save your energy.

Monday the 24th is a cracker. Morning brings offshore breeze with that same 8ft SW swell (14 seconds), and then the afternoon turns glassy with a lighter 6ft swell and a slight offshore wind. That afternoon session is going to be ridiculously clean. Get on it.

Tuesday the 25th is a tale of two halves. The morning is blown out by strong NW wind, but the afternoon! The afternoon is the highlight of the outlook for me. We've got a solid 10ft swell from the SW (14 seconds) with a moderate offshore breeze. This is going to be clean, punchy and powerful—not for beginners, that's for sure. It's a standout session.

Then things get serious. Wednesday the 26th, a massive 13ft SW groundswell rolls in with a period of 19 seconds. This is real-deal, expert-only territory. The wind is cross-off but strong, so it’ll be raw and powerful. It’s best to watch from the beach if you're not in the top tier.

The following days, from the 27th to the 30th, are mostly messy with cross-shore winds and drop in quality, although the swell stays decent. Not the best windows.

Another promising period kicks off on Monday the 31st of August. The morning session looks excellent with an 8ft SW swell (16 seconds) and a gentle offshore breeze. Clean lines are on the cards.

The pattern repeats through the start of September, with solid swells but the wind being the main variable. Thursday the 3rd of September afternoon is worth a mention for the experienced crew: a clean 8ft SSW swell with gentle winds.

So, to wrap it up: Monday the 24th afternoon for the glassy, clean waves, and Tuesday the 25th afternoon for the standout power session. The rest of the window is good swell, but you'll need to dodge the wind.

Rusty.
