The Lowdown
Alright, gents, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s headed our way for Middleton Beach. It’s a mixed bag this period, with some serious size coming through but the conditions are going to be a real struggle for most of it. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 63°, sitting about 2° above average for this time of year, so that’s a nice little bonus.
The first part of the week is a write-off to be honest. Tuesday the 1st and Wednesday the 2nd are all cross-off winds with solid swell, but the forecast is calling it marginal. The energy is ramping up from 2348 on Tuesday morning to over 3252 on Wednesday, but with 30 km/h winds, it’s going to be a battle. Thursday the 3rd is where things start to look a bit more promising. Thursday morning we’ve got a proper 12 ft SSW groundswell with a 15-second period, light offshore winds from the NW, and the wave energy is a massive 5488. This is excellent for experienced surfers only, but it’s the first real standout. That afternoon the wind swings a bit more west-northwest, but still offshore and clean.
Friday the 4th is a day of two halves. The morning sees a huge 18 ft SW swell with a 14-second period and an energy reading of 22078. That’s a lot of water moving. The wind is a strong cross-off from the SW at 35 km/h, so it’s going to be a raw, powerful day for the big-wave crew. The afternoon drops to 12 ft, still with a long 15-second period, but the wind stays up.
We get a full-on storm on Saturday the 5th afternoon with 50 km/h winds from the SW, 13 ft swell, and a score of 0 – that’s a complete no-go. The following days are a bit of a blur of big, clean, but marginal surf. The real standout in the second week is Tuesday the 8th. The morning glass-off with 12 ft SW swell and a 16-second period, and the wind is a perfect 5 km/h glassy from the WNW. That’s a gorgeous window for the experienced surfer, clean as a whistle. The energy is a solid 5846.
After that, we get a few more good days, with Wednesday the 9th afternoon offering a 10 ft SW swell with a 16-second period, light cross-off winds, and excellent conditions. The energy is 4516. Then Monday the 14th morning is a great call: 10 ft SSW groundswell with a 17-second period, gentle offshore wind from the west, and energy at 6126. That’s another clean, powerful session for the lads who know what they’re doing.
Overall, Middleton Beach is not a beginner’s playground this outlook. The swell is too big for most of the time. The best windows are Thursday the 3rd morning, Tuesday the 8th morning, Wednesday the 9th afternoon, and Monday the 14th morning. Keep your eyes on that Tuesday the 8th for the glassiest, cleanest waves of the run.
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.
