Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Middleton Beach. Now, I gotta be straight with you—this stretch is very sheltered and inconsistent, so we ain't looking at a non-stop party. There’s a solid run of no-go days right at the start, but once things turn on, they turn on proper. Let’s break it down.

The first couple of days are pretty grim. Sunday the 5th might have some swell around 4ft to 5ft from the SSW with wave energy kicking at 878, but with cross-off winds and a touch of rain, the conditions are just poor. Not worth paddling out. Monday the 6th gets even uglier: the swell jumps to 8ft in the morning and 10ft in the afternoon (SW), with a big jump in energy (3205 to 3934), but the cross-on wind and lumpy chop makes it a mess. This is more kite-surfing territory than paddle surfing.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Tuesday the 7th morning is a proper standout. We’ve got a solid 12ft SSW groundswell (energy reading 6150) with clean conditions and a light offshore breeze from the WNW. That is big, powerful stuff—only for experienced surfers, mind you, over 8ft it’s expert territory. The period is a long 16 seconds, so expect long lines with plenty of push, best on the point or reef if there was one, but at a beach setup like Middleton, it might wall up. Still, if you’ve got the skill, Tuesday morning is the pick of the entire outlook. Tuesday afternoon stays clean and still big at 10ft.

Wednesday the 8th keeps the size going—7ft in the morning and 10ft in the afternoon, with light winds and clean conditions again in the afternoon (energy 4368). Thursday the 9th offers a bit of a drop-off but remains very good: 6ft to 7ft from the SSW/SW with moderate offshore winds from the west (energy 2074 to 1687). Clean, workable waves for a wider range of surfers.

Friday the 10th fades fast—4ft and 3ft with messy wind, so not much to write home about. Saturday the 11th sees a huge spike: 15ft in the morning and 16ft in the afternoon, SSW swell with energy up to 9395. But it’s windy and the cross-off conditions keep it marginal—big, lumpy, and only for the brave or foolish. Not a recommendation for most.

There’s a lull again through the middle of the second week, but look at Monday the 13th morning: glassy conditions, 6ft SW swell with a 16-second period, and energy at 3681. That’s a rare treat—a clean, long-period groundswell with glassy water. Very good quality, but a little inconsistent as always here.

Tuesday the 14th is another highlight: 10ft SSW (energy 4673) both morning and afternoon, light offshore winds, clean—excellent for experienced surfers. After that, the end of the second week gets big and messy again, with some clean moments but lots of chop and wind.

The standout of the whole outlook is definitely Tuesday the 7th morning. Clean offshore, big 12ft SSW groundswell (energy 6150), and perfect for experts. The second standout is Monday the 13th morning—glassy, 6ft, long period, and just a beautiful window in an otherwise inconsistent run.

Water temperature sits around 65°F, which is about 2°F warmer than average for this time of year—nothing crazy, but a touch on the mild side.

Overall, Middleton Beach is a spot that rarely fires consistently, so these windows are precious. Don’t sleep on Tuesday the 7th or Monday the 13th if you’re local.

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.
