The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, talking Middleton Beach. We've got a quiet start, but the back half of the forecast is where the real story is. The first few days are gnarly or just average, so be patient.
Sunday the 26th kicks off with a 16ft swell from the WSW, but with 34 mph winds, you’re better off watching from the sand. Monday the 27th drops to a still-chunky 8ft from the SW, but the wind is still a factor.
The first real highlight is Tuesday the 28th. A solid 10ft groundswell from the SSW, with a long 14-second period, and get this—glassy, clean conditions. The wind is glass from the SSE in the morning and from the east in the afternoon. The water is 65°, a touch warmer than normal. This is for the experienced crew; 10ft with that energy is serious business. The combined energy is moderate at 4127, building to 4570. This is the stand-out of the first week without a doubt.
After that, the swell drops. The 29th is smaller but still clean. The 30th and 31st offer some clean but smaller or more inconsistent waves, and the wind picks up again heading into the 1st of August. That first weekend of August looks blown out.
Now for the big one. Look to Monday the 10th of August. This is the monster. A massive 21ft swell from the SW, with a 20-second period—very long period groundswell. The combined energy is a massive 34623, which is very strong. Winds are light from the north, making for clean conditions. This is exceptional for expert surfers only. It’s a long-range call, so don’t book your flights yet, but this is the one to circle on the calendar. A wave that big and that long will be a sight to see. It will be challenging at the beach, but the power will be incredible.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
