The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here.
Let’s cut to it – Middleton Beach has a rough start, a big lull, and then one serious window of power. The water’s running about 63° and a touch warmer than the norm for this time of year, which is a small win.
The first week is pretty much a dud. Friday the 11th has some clean 1.8m SW swell with a long 16-second period, but it’s not doing much. Light cross-off winds keep it tidy, but there’s no juice. Saturday the 12th is a right-off – a big 3.5m swell with 40 km/h winds, messy and not worth your time. Sunday through Wednesday the 16th stays poor – a mix of onshores, chop, and nothing with any real quality. There’s size on Monday the 14th – around 3.5m – but it’s coming onshore and ugly. Not a beginner’s window at all.
Now, the good stuff. Look ahead to Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th – that’s over a week away, so keep that in mind. Saturday sees a huge 5.5m SW swell roll in, and by afternoon the energy is pumping hard. But Sunday the 20th is the main event. Light offshore breeze, a massive 5.5m SSW groundswell at a very long 17-second period, and the combined energy is just enormous. This is big, clean, powerful surf – strictly for experienced surfers. Waves over 2.5m are expert-only territory. It’s a proper beast of a day.
Monday the 21st is still good – 3.0m-3.5m SSW swell with offshore winds in the morning. It’s a step down but still a quality session for the skilled crew. This spot can get crowded, so get in early.
After that, it gets messy again. Tuesday the 22nd is blown out with strong onshores, and Wednesday the 23rd is a weird one – a long 24-second period but tiny 0.9m-1.1m waves. Clean, but no power. The following Thursday the 24th has some size – 3.0m-3.5m – with offshore winds, but the quality is marginal. Then it fades into choppy, smaller surf.
So here’s the call: for the experts, Sunday the 20th is the one. That’s the standout. For everyone else, this period is mostly a waiting game. Don’t force it on the poor days; you’ll just get frustrated.
Rusty out.

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.
