Alright, grab your wettie and pay attention – let’s get into it.
Alright, things are looking pretty grim around Middleton Beach right now. We’re stuck in a quiet spell to start. Sunday afternoon, it’s onshore with messy little 4ft waves at 15 seconds, and the water is sitting at 65°, which feels a touch warmer than normal for July. But honestly, it’s a write-off for now. The combined energy is weak, only 765, and that wind isn’t doing us any favours.
Monday’s a total write-off too. Tuesday 7th July morning is where it finally gets interesting. The wind drops to absolutely glassy, and we’ve got a solid 12ft south-southwest groundswell packing a lot of punch – you’re looking at strong wave energy at 6038. That’s expert territory, and with a 16-second period, it’s going to be powerful and lined up, best on the points and reefs. Tuesday afternoon drops to 10ft but stays clean, with light onshore bumps. Wednesday 8th July keeps it going – morning has 7ft with a clean cross-offshore breeze, and Wednesday afternoon is the real standout: 10ft south-west swell with a glassy offshore wind. Excellent stuff for experienced surfers, clean as a whistle.
Thursday 9th July morning holds clean with a moderate offshore, 8ft, before it gets messy Thursday afternoon. Friday 10th July is a blown-out mess. Saturday 11th July is big – 16ft in the morning – but with strong cross-offshore wind and a score that suggests it’s only for the brave, and the combined energy is enormous at 11601. Too big for most, but if you’ve got the stones, it’s there.
The second week starts to look a bit more ordinary. Sunday 12th July and Monday 13th July have consistent 8ft swell but with onshore wind, so it’s bumpy. Tuesday 14th July afternoon is a flash of brilliance – 10ft, clean, cross-offshore. That’s a solid session. After that, the wind picks up hard. Wednesday 15th through Friday 17th July is all strong breezes and lumpy conditions, with moderate swell. It doesn’t look good.
Now, Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th July are pretty poor. But then – hold onto your board – Monday 20th July afternoon is the absolute highlight of the whole outlook. 16ft of south-west groundswell, combined energy through the roof at 21086, light offshore wind, and an exceptional score. That is a serious, serious day for experts only. Best set of the entire period, without a doubt. It’s a long way off, so keep an eye on it, but if that holds, it’s a proper session to circle on the calendar.
Overall, you’ve got a blank start, a solid run from Tuesday 7th to Thursday 9th July, then a lot of average-to-messy days with a few clean windows on Tuesday 14th July afternoon and that massive Monday 20th July. The standout is definitely Tuesday 7th July morning for the glassy 12ft, and Monday 20th July afternoon for the huge, perfect 16ft.

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.
