The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – this 16-day window for Middleton Beach isn’t the kind of run that’ll have you racing down the coast. The swell shows up, but it’s constantly battling with tricky wind and tide, leaving most of the days feeling a bit average. The strongest energy is later on, but it comes with heavy wind that makes it a struggle.

Let’s start with Wednesday the 22nd. We’ve got a solid 11.5 ft swell from the SSW, but the cross-onshore wind from the SSE is messy, making it choppy. The combined energy is huge at 5005, but it’s just not clean. That afternoon the period stretches to 15 seconds, but the wind is still cross-on, and the score is low. It’s a frustrating day – big lumps but no real shape.

Thursday the 23rd drops a little to 9.8 ft, still from the SSW, with a light cross breeze in the morning. The energy is still big at 3078, but the cross-shore wind ripples stop it from being good. By afternoon, it’s down to 7.9 ft with the same story – light but onshore. Not your day.

Friday the 24th is the first real teaser. Morning has 5.6 ft from the SSW, period at 13 seconds, and a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNW. The energy is moderate at 932, and the water is clean. It’s surfable, but it’s small. The afternoon stays similar at 5.2 ft, with clean conditions but the energy dropping to 768. This is a beginner-friendly window, nothing to get too excited about.

Saturday the 25th is a bit of a letdown. Morning has 4.9 ft from the SW with a cross-off breeze, but the energy is only 880, and the vibe is “marginal.” By afternoon, it drops to 3.6 ft and the energy is 568 – not much push.

Then the gap hits. From Sunday the 26th through to Tuesday the 28th, the wind gets nasty. Sunday has 28 mph offshore from the WNW, pushing a 13.1 ft SSW swell, but the energy is 2725 and the conditions are described as “poor.” It’s too strong to paddle into, and the surf quality is zero. The next days are all cross-onshore or cross-shore, with moderate to strong wind and plenty of energy, but the chop makes it a write-off. This is a solid 3-day gap with no recommendations.

We get a breather on Wednesday the 30th. Morning has 4.3 ft from the SSW, period 15 seconds, and a moderate offshore from the NW. The energy is low at 733, but it’s clean. It’s a small, tidy wave for a quiet session. By afternoon, the swell bumps to 5.6 ft from the SW, with a light cross-offshore and clean conditions. Energy is 1298, but it’s still called “marginal.” Not a standout, but it’s a window.

Check out Friday the 31st. This is a big one, but it’s a rough one. Morning sees 11.5 ft from the SW, period 16 seconds, with a 25 mph cross-offshore from the WSW. The combined energy is huge at 9500 – that’s strong, powerful swell. The wind is strong, though, and the conditions are “marginal” at best. The afternoon stays at 13.1 ft, energy 7881, same wind. This is big, raw, and only for experienced surfers who can handle the power and the wind. It’s promising but not clean.

Saturday the 1st of August offers a better look. Morning has 9.8 ft from the SSW, period 15 seconds, with a fresh offshore from the W at 22 mph. The energy is 3434, and it’s clean. That’s a proper offshore wind, and the swell is solid. The afternoon drops to 7.5 ft, still

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.
