The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a proper look at what's coming our way for Middleton Beach.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: the next week is gonna be a real test of patience. We've got a solid run of days where the wind is just wrecking things, mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and while there's some size, it's gonna be lumpy, choppy, and generally not worth paddling out. We're looking at a gap of almost five days with nothing I'd recommend. The water temp is sitting at about 63°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won't be freezing while you're sitting there watching it get chopped up.
Now, the first real sign of life shows up on Friday the 18th. That afternoon, the wind swings offshore and we get a clean 10ft swell from the SW, with a nice long period of 17 seconds. That's proper groundswell energy, and the numbers are off the charts with a combined energy reading of 5882. This is a good one for experienced surfers. It'll be big, so leave the foamies at home, but those long-period lines will set up nicely. Keep in mind, with that kind of period at a beach break, it can be a bit straight, but the clean conditions will make it worthwhile.
If you can wait, the standout window looks like Sunday the 20th. The morning has a solid 12ft SSW swell with that long 14-second period and clean offshore winds. That's a big day. But the real magic is the afternoon: the wind stays light and offshore, and we're looking at the same 12ft of SSW groundswell, but the period stretches to 15 seconds and the combined energy rockets up to 6441. This is excellent, experienced-surfer territory. The surf quality will be right up there, with clean, powerful lines rolling in.
Looking further ahead, the last week of the month gets messy again with onshore winds and lumpy conditions. There's a glimpse of something on the 28th with some clean 10ft SW swell, but it's a long way out and less certain.
Honestly, for the next week, keep your eye on Friday the 18th, but your best bet is to circle Sunday the 20th in the calendar. The swell direction is a touch off the optimum for the break, but with that size, period, and clean wind, it's your best shot at a proper session.
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.
