The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a mixed bag of a 16-day window for Middleton Beach, so let’s paddle out and see what’s really on the table.

The first real swell of note shows up on Thursday the 30th of July. Look, it’s a slow start. The waves are around 4ft to 5ft from the SSW with a 14-second period, which is a long-period groundswell. For a beach break, that long period can make 'em a bit straight, but the energy is there – we’re looking at moderate to strong combined energy (1108 to 1601). The standout is the Thursday afternoon session. The wind drops to a light breeze, it’s clean, and the water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 65°. That’s a nice little window for a longboard or a funboard.

Come Friday the 31st of July, the swell jumps considerably. By Friday afternoon, we’re talking 12ft from the SSW with a 17-second period. That’s massive energy (6917). The wind is offshore, which is a big positive for clean faces, but let’s be real – 12ft is expert territory. The combined energy is strong, and it’s breaking big. For most of us, this is a watching day, maybe a paddle-out for the very experienced if you’ve got the nerve.

The weekend is a bit of a write-off for the average surfer. Saturday the 1st of August sees the swell getting pumped up to 13ft and 16ft, but the wind is howling from the SW at 15 to 22 mph. That’s a fresh breeze with cross-off conditions, but the size is just too much for a good time unless you’re a big-wave charger. The energy is very strong (6679 to 11805), but it’s raw and messy. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

The best of the bunch, the one to circle on your calendar, is Sunday the 2nd of August. The swell drops to a manageable 8ft in the morning, coming from the SW with a solid 14-second period. The wind is light from the NNW. Then, in the afternoon, it gets even better. The swell is 6ft from the SW, but the wind goes glassy, dead calm from the ENE. That’s a major positive. The combined energy is moderate (2415). This is that sweet spot – clean, glassy, and a decent size. That’s the session for the confident intermediate.

The first week of August has some heavy pulses. Monday the 3rd stays clean and glassy in the morning with 5ft swell, but it’s a bit small. Tuesday the 4th and Wednesday the 5th dish up excellent conditions for experienced surfers, with 10ft to 13ft from the SW and offshore winds. The water is holding, and the energy is strong (5558 to 6991). If you’re an expert, these are your days.

The second week is a bit more of a gamble. The consistency is there, but the wind gets fickle. Around the 6th and 7th of August, the swell stays big (8ft to 13ft), but the wind picks up again, making it marginal. Then on the 8th of August, we’ve got a near gale from the SW with 31 to 34 mph winds and 18ft swell. That’s a total washout for surfing.

The real standout of the second week is Wednesday the 12th of August. The morning is absolutely glassy, with a 7ft swell from the SSW and a very long 18-second period. The combined energy is moderate (4224), but that glassy surface and that long period will produce some beautiful, clean lines. It’s a promising call, but it’s further out, so keep your fingers crossed.

The 13th and 14th of August see the swell dropping back to a solid 10ft to 13ft from the SW, but the wind is a fresh breeze from the SW, keeping conditions a bit lumpy for the average surfer.

So, the bottom line: the best two sessions are Sunday the 2nd of August for the glassy, clean 6ft to 8ft waves, and if you’re an expert, the offshore days on the 4th, 5th, and the glassy morning of the 12th are your tickets. Middleton Beach is inconsistent, and there are gaps of a few days where it’s either too big, too windy, or just messy. But when it lines up, it’s a treat.

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.
