Alright crew, Rusty here again, now in feet and miles. Let’s break down Middleton Beach over the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag ahead. The first few days actually bring some decent glass, but don’t get too excited – this spot is very sheltered, and the swell direction isn’t quite what it wants. Still, Friday morning (3 July) kicks off with a clean 6.9ft SSW groundswell at 14 seconds, and the wind is dead calm – glassy as. Water temp is 64.8°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, so you might not need the thickest suit. The wave energy is solid (2785), and conditions look really good. That Friday morning is a standout – get on it if you can.
Friday afternoon stays glassy, swell a little smaller at 6.2ft, still clean. Then Saturday (4 July) gets a lot bigger – 9.8ft SSW with a 17-second period – but the wind turns cross-off and the forecast flags it as marginal. That’s a lot of water moving for a sheltered beach, and it’s probably too big for beginners. If you’re an expert and want some power, it might be worth a look, but the quality is questionable.
Sunday (5 July) drops right off – only 4.6ft, weak energy (879), and despite offshore winds, the surf is poor. Monday and Tuesday are messy with onshore winds and bigger, bumpy sets. Tuesday (7 July) sees 13.1ft waves but onshore chop – not worth it.
Then Wednesday morning (8 July) is another proper window: glassy again, 7.2ft SSW at 15 seconds, energy 2775, and the wave comment says expect very good conditions. That’s the other standout in the period – clean, long-period groundswell, but keep in mind those long intervals can make the waves a bit straight at a beach break

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.
