The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Middleton Beach.
We’ve got a solid run of south-west groundswell lining up, but this spot is very sheltered, so we’re not getting the full force of it. The water is sitting at 65°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – nice bit of extra comfort if you’re getting in.
The best bet of the whole outlook is Thursday the 13th. Thursday morning hits with a clean 13ft SSW groundswell, that long 16 second period, and a gentle offshore WNW breeze. The water is glassy, the energy is pumping (9486), and it’s just excellent for experienced surfers. That afternoon stays good too – 13ft, 17 seconds, and a cross-off SW breeze. If you’re solid, that’s your day right there.
The other standout lands on Saturday the 22nd. That morning serves up a clean 12ft SW swell with a 14 second period and an offshore WNW wind. The energy is strong (5465) and the conditions are clean enough for a good session. It’s solid stuff, but again, it’s for the more experienced crew.
Now, after that first Thursday, things get a bit messy. Friday the 14th is cross-shore and choppy; Saturday the 15th is cleaner but the swell drops off into the 6-7ft range. Sunday the 16th and Monday the 17th have some serious wind – Monday sees a 13ft SW swell, but a 25 mph cross-off Westerly makes it messy and marginal. That’s more of a kite session than a paddle session.
There’s a lull in quality through the middle of the week, but Tuesday the 25th morning brings a nice clean 12ft SW swell with a 16 second period and gentle offshore wind. That’s a good session, solid energy (6445). Wednesday the 26th starts clean with a smaller 6ft swell, but it fades hard into a poor onshore afternoon.
The very end of the run, Friday the 28th, has solid 13ft SW swell (9129 energy), but it’s accompanied by strong winds and rain. There’s potential for experts, but conditions look rough.
Overall, your standout window is Thursday the 13th with the best combo of size, period, and glassy conditions. Saturday the 22nd is the other one to circle. This break is inconsistent and very sheltered, so good days are spread out, but when it fires, it’s worth the wait.

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.
