The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break down what’s coming for Middleton Beach. It’s gonna be a slow start, but once it fires up, there’s some serious size for the big dogs.
Water temp is about 64°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so you might be able to get away with a lighter suit.
The first few days are a write-off. Thursday the 27th and Friday the 28th are all poor surf, with fresh cross-onshore winds and lumpy, messy waves. Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th are only a little better, with marginal surf and moderate cross-onshore chop. There’s swell, but it’s not clean. Not worth paddling out.
Things start to clean up on Monday the 31st. The morning shows a gentle offshore wind from the west, with a 8ft SW swell at 16 seconds – that’s a long-period groundswell. The combined energy is moderate at 2669, and it’s running clean. This is the first real window, but the afternoon gets fresh and cross-off, so get in early.
Tuesday the 1st of September and Wednesday the 2nd keep the clean conditions with cross-off winds, but the swell is up around 8ft to 12ft, and the energy is climbing into the strong range. Wednesday morning is a standout with a fresh offshore from the WNW and an 12ft SW swell at 14 seconds (energy 4550). That’s a solid, powerful wave but it’s getting big, so this is more for experienced surfers.
Thursday the 3rd of September is similar, with an 12ft SW swell and a fresh offshore wind again. Clean, powerful, but big.
Friday the 4th of September turns ugly with a near gale from the WSW at 34 mph. The swell drops to 6ft. Unsurfable.
Then we get the real highlight. Saturday the 5th of September morning is glassy. Absolutely glassy. An 18ft SSW swell with a 14-second period, and the combined energy is a massive 11030 – that’s very strong. The forecast says it’s excellent for experienced surfers. This is a serious, groundswell, and at that size, it’s only for experts. The wind is glassy, so it’ll be incredibly clean. If you’re charging, this is your session.
Sunday the 6th of September backs off a bit to 8ft from the south with a fresh offshore wind, still clean but much more manageable.
The following week continues with more size. Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th of September both see 13ft to 15ft SSW swells, with strong energy values (over 6000 and even 10842). Winds are offshore or cross-off, so conditions are clean, but again, these are expert-only waves.
Wednesday the 9th drops to 8ft, clean, and then Thursday the 10th of September serves up another beauty: a 13ft SW groundswell at 16 seconds, with a gentle offshore wind. Combined energy is 6907, and the forecast says excellent for experienced surfers. That’s another standout day, but it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it.
Friday the 11th of September ends the run with a 8ft SW swell, fresh offshore wind, and clean conditions.
Overall, the best surf on offer is that glassy Saturday the 5th of September morning, and the Thursday the 10th of September session. Both are for experienced surfers only, with big, powerful groundswell and clean winds. The middle of the first week and the second week are all about size and power, with clean conditions but very heavy waves.

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.
