The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m breaking down what Middleton Beach has in store.
First couple days are flat-out ugly. Sunday the 2nd has some swell but the wind is light and cross-onshore, making it messy and marginal. Monday the 3rd is worse—strong cross-shore winds and poor surf. Don’t even bother.
The first real standout hits Tuesday the 4th of August. Offshore wind from the west at 25 km/h, clean 8ft SSW groundswell with an 18-second period. The combined wave energy is 4984 (moderate to strong). This is solid expert territory—over 8ft and long period means power and big waves. Afternoon pushes 11ft with the same offshore flow. Best window for the crew that can handle it.
Wednesday the 5th keeps it pumping: 13ft SW swell in the morning with offshore wind, energy reading 7523 (strong). Clean and powerful. Afternoon eases a touch but still excellent for experts.
Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th still have 10ft to 13ft SW swell but the wind goes cross-off, dropping quality to marginal. Still clean, but not as crisp as Tuesday and Wednesday.
Saturday the 8th of August brings a massive pulse: 20ft SSW swell with a 16-second period. The combined energy hits a staggering 18566 (very strong) in the morning. This is serious, heavy groundswell—only for the most experienced. Wind is cross-off, so it’s clean, but this is not a day for anyone without serious big-wave experience.
Sunday the 9th drops to 13ft and 10ft SW swell with offshore winds again—clean and excellent for the capable.
After that, the middle of the week turns messy. Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th still have strong energy (over 6000 and up to 14702) but with cross-shore winds and bumpy surfaces. Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th are poor—strong to near-gale cross-shore winds and messy chop. That’s kite-surfing wind, not paddle surfing.
Things settle for the second week. Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th of August see the swell drop to 7ft–10ft, and the wind improves. Saturday morning the 15th is clean with a light cross-off breeze and 10ft SSW swell, excellent for experienced surfers. Sunday the 16th is also clean in the morning with 11ft SW swell and light winds. Solid, but not the size of the first week.
Best on offer is Tuesday the 4th and Wednesday the 5th of August. Clean offshore wind, powerful groundswell from the SSW, and excellent conditions for experts. Water temp on the 2nd is 65°, a touch warmer than normal—nothing crazy.
So, Middleton Beach delivers a proper groundswell run. No small days, most of the good surf is for the experienced. Circle Tuesday and Wednesday for the best ride.

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.
