Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what the next couple of weeks are looking like for Middleton Beach.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but once the surf kicks in on Friday afternoon, it’s with a bang. The first solid pulse arrives Friday July 3rd with a 6ft SSW swell and a 14-second period. The wind is glassy from the east at just 3 mph, so it’ll be clean as a whistle. The water temp is sitting at 64°, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year. The energy is pumping hard with a reading of 2571, so there’s plenty of push. This is the standout of the early window: Middleton Beach, clean, solid, and just a good vibe.
Saturday the 4th comes in much bigger, 10ft from the SSW, but the wind swings northerly and picks up to 12 mph, making it a bit cross-off. It’s still ridable, but the quality dips. By Sunday the 5th, the swell drops back to 5ft and the wind is howling from the NNW at 19 mph – that’s a write-off.
Into the next week, Tuesday morning July 7th is a serious one for experienced crew. We’re looking at an 12ft SSW groundswell with a long 16-second period, and the wind is light from the NNW at 6 mph, cross-off and clean. The energy number is massive at 6160, so this is powerful stuff. It’s only for those who know what they’re doing – over 8ft, so leave the beginners on the beach. The crowd factor here can be sometimes an issue, but with size like that, it might thin out.
Wednesday July 8th morning cleans up again with a 8ft SSW swell, light NW wind at 3 mph, and another solid 15-second period. That’s a good, clean session for the midweek.
Looking further out, Saturday July 11th sees a massive 16ft SSW swell arrive with a 17-second period, but the wind is a moderate cross-off from the SW. That’s a huge, heavy groundswell – only for the brave. The energy reading is through the roof at 14867. It’s a long-range call, so promising but less certain.
Monday July 13th morning is worth circling on the calendar: 10ft SSW at 15 seconds, glassy as glass with light westerly wind. That’s a morning of perfection for those who can handle it. Then Tuesday July 14th morning offers a more manageable 6ft SSW swell with glassy conditions again.
There’s a bit of a lull around the 15th and 16th with smaller, wind-affected surf, but we get a decent run from the 16th afternoon through the 17th with 7-7ft SSW swells and clean cross-off winds from the north. The 18th gets blown out by a strong northerly, so don’t bother.
Overall, the best bets are Friday July 3rd afternoon for the clean, fun swell, and Tuesday July 7th morning for the big, powerful stuff. The long-period swells here at a beach break can get a bit straight, but with the right winds, it’ll still be worth the paddle.
Rusty.

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.
