The Lowdown
Alright gents, this is Rusty, and we’re dialing in on Middleton Beach. The water’s sitting at 64° – a tad warmer than the usual for this time of year, a nice little welcome.
We’ve got a solid run of swell ahead, but it’s a mixed bag. Wednesday kicks off with a 10ft SSW swell, but the wind is cross-off and the conditions are just okay. That swell’s got some serious energy (3355) – moderate power – but it’s not clean enough to get the heart pumping just yet.
Thursday the 3rd is where the action starts. The morning dishes up a 13ft SSW swell with a 15-second period, under offshore NW winds. Combined energy is 6123 (strong) and it’s rated excellent for the experienced crew. This is a proper standout. Over 8ft, it’s for the rippers only. The long period will make it punchy, and with offshore wind, it’ll be glassy. Expect company though – crowds can be around sometimes.
Friday the 4th brings a 13ft SW swell, but the wind is howling cross-off from the WSW at 22 mph, making it messy. The energy is still massive (6547), but it’s not a day for clean waves.
Saturday the 5th eases to a 7ft SW swell, with better but still cross-off winds. The afternoon shows a 5ft SW swell with gentle offshore wind – a bit more user-friendly.
Sunday the 6th is a total write-off. Cross-shore and cross-onshore winds blowing through a 15ft SSW swell (5358 energy) – absolute chaos. Not for paddle surfing.
Monday the 7th has a big 11ft SSW swell with a 16-second period (7009 energy), but it’s cross-shore with light winds. Clean enough for the brave, but the wind isn’t your friend.
Tuesday the 8th is onshore and choppy. Skip it.
We get a few poor days before a real turnaround. Saturday the 12th delivers an 8ft SW swell, 15-second period, with offshore winds in the morning. Combined energy of 3621 (moderate), and it’s expected to be very good. Clean, punchy, and a proper highlight.
Sunday the 13th is a gem. Glassy offshore winds (5 mph from the WNW) with an 8ft SW swell, 15-second period. That’s as clean as it gets. A standout session for sure.
Monday the 14th holds that 8ft SW swell with light cross-off winds. Another solid day.
Looking further out, Wednesday the 16th has a massive 10ft SSW swell with an 18-second period, under near-calm offshore winds. Combined energy of 7598 (strong) – a serious groundswell that will be pumping. It’s for experts only, and it’s a long way off, so keep an eye on it, but the potential is there for a barnstormer.
So, to wrap it up: Thursday the 3rd is the first big call for the experienced, but the real beauty is Sunday the 13th with those glassy conditions. Saturday the 12th and Monday the 14th are also well worth it. Just ride out the rough days.
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.
