The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Alright, let’s talk about Middleton Beach for the next couple of weeks. The water’s running a little warmer than usual for this time of year, about 63°F, so it’s not too bad.
We start off on Wednesday the 16th with nothing doing – a messy 4ft swell from the SW and a cross-onshore wind making it choppy and poor. Don’t even bother. Thursday the 17th gets better by the afternoon, with a clean 4ft SW swell (combined energy of 868) and a light offshore breeze from the WNW. That’s smooth and fun.
Friday the 18th is the real gem of the first week. The morning has a small but clean 3ft SW groundswell (energy 829), and the afternoon bumps up to a nice 5ft (energy 1302) with light offshore winds. It’s perfect for beginners, no crowds, and glassy conditions.
Then it goes sour. Saturday the 19th brings a massive 13ft swell with a near gale offshore wind – too wild and hard to paddle into. Sunday the 20th through Tuesday the 23rd is mostly choppy, onshore junk. Not recommended.
The big standout is Friday the 25th, over a week out. That’s a serious 13ft SW groundswell (combined energy of 11007) with clean offshore winds in the morning. That’s for experts only – the period is a very long 19 seconds, so Middleton being a beach break might see those waves bend a bit straight, but with offshore wind, there’ll be some proper power. Definitely one to watch.
Wednesday the 30th also looks solid with an 12ft SSW swell (energy 6534) and clean conditions, again for stronger surfers. After that, October 1st brings onshore wind and poor waves. So, beginners head out Friday the 18th; experienced crew, mark your calendar for Friday the 25th. There’s a dry spell from the 19th to the 22nd, so plan around it.
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.
