The Lowdown

Alright my friends, Rusty here with a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, but there are some moments that’ll get the heart pumping.

The first real pulse of swell arrives Tuesday afternoon at Middleton Beach (Albany). The ocean’s got a lot of energy behind it—3276—with a solid 8ft SW groundswell rolling in at a very long 16 seconds. The wind is a clean offshore from the WNW at 9 mph, so it’s going to be glassy and gorgeous. Water temperature is sitting at 64°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might not need the thickest rubber. This is a great session for the experienced crew, but that 8ft on a very sheltered spot might still be okay for a confident beginner. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.

Wednesday through Thursday keeps the size up with 10ft to 12ft SW swell, but the wind is a cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean but not perfect. The energy is huge—over 6000 at times—but the notes say the tide or conditions are a bit iffy. Still worth a look if you’re keen.

The standout window shapes up for Friday morning, 21 August. The wind goes light and offshore from the NW at 6 mph, and you’ve got a 10ft SW groundswell with a 15-second period. The energy is still strong at 4517, and the forecast is calling it excellent for experienced surfers. This is your pick of the first week.

Saturday morning, 22 August, is another good call: 8ft SSW swell at 16 seconds, almost no wind from the NNW at 3 mph, and clean conditions.

Things drop off Sunday and Monday, with smaller, wind-affected surf.

Now, look ahead to Tuesday, 25 August. The swell cranks up again—15ft SW at 12 seconds by the afternoon, with a strong offshore wind at 28 mph. The energy is massive at 5481, but that wind is going to make paddling a real struggle. This is one for the hardcore crew only, and the notes say it’s hard to paddle into. Wednesday the 26th sees 16ft SW swell with energy at a huge 22662, but again, strong cross-offshore winds. That’s big, heavy, and not for the faint-hearted.

The last really promising window is Tuesday morning, 1 September. The swell is back to 10ft SW at a very long 17 seconds, with light offshore wind from the SW at 6 mph. Energy is 5135, and it’s rated excellent for experienced surfers. This one has real quality written all over it.

So, for the casual surfer, focus on Friday the 21st and maybe Saturday the 22nd. For the experienced crew, Tuesday the 25th, Wednesday the 26th, and Tuesday the 1st of September are the big, powerful days to chase.

Stay safe out there.
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.

Middleton Beach is 8 km (5 miles) from Albany. If you plan a holiday in Far South of Western Australia, look for hotels and other accommodation in Albany. Albany has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
