Table - best surf conditions forecast for Middleton Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s switch to feet, Fahrenheit, and miles for the imperial crew.
The next couple of days are the warm-up. We’ve got a small window of clean but smaller surf on Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th, but things are about to get real. A solid run of surf kicks off Saturday the 11th and will keep going for over a week.
The first real standout is Saturday afternoon, July 11th. Middleton Beach is looking at a solid 8 ft swell out of the SSW with a nice 13-second period. The wind is a gentle breeze from the WSW, blowing cross-offshore, so the surface should be clean. The combined wave energy is pumping at 2992 (moderate to strong). Great for an intermediate.
The big one, the one to circle on your calendar, is Monday morning, July 13th. We’ve got a serious 12 ft groundswell from the SSW with a very long 16-second period. The energy is a strong 6932 (very high). The wind is a gentle offshore breeze from the west, keeping it clean. This is expert territory. It stays big through Sunday the 12th and into Monday.
After that, sets drop into the 7 ft to 8 ft range through to the 17th, with mostly cross-offshore winds keeping things rideable.
Looking way out, the morning of Thursday, July 23rd is a dark horse. The swell is a solid 13 ft from the SSW with a 15-second period and – get this – glassy conditions with zero wind. Wave energy is massive at 6907 (very strong). A huge promise, but a long way off. That size is for experts only.
One thing to remember: Middleton Beach is very sheltered and can be inconsistent. With this forecast, it’s going off, but that’s not the norm.

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.
