The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way.
First up, Middleton Beach. The forecast shows some solid swell energy rolling in, but the wind and conditions are going to be a real mixed bag. We’re looking at a slow start.
Tuesday 25 August is pretty much a write-off. There’s a 4ft SW swell with a long 15-second period, but that strong 30 km/h NNW wind has it cross-off and messy. The combined energy is strong at 1247, but the surf is poor. The afternoon jumps to 10ft SW swell, but the cross-off wind is still an issue.
Wednesday 26 August morning is where things get interesting. We’ve got a clean 10ft SW swell, 15-second period, and a light 10 km/h W breeze making for clean surf. Combined energy is very strong at 6777. This is excellent for experienced surfers. That afternoon, the swell bumps up to 13ft with an 18-second period (very long period), but a light cross-onshore wind makes it marginal. The water temperature is about average for the time of year.
Thursday 27 August is a total loss. The wind cranks up to 35 km/h from the S, and the surf turns lumpy and poor. The combined energy is strong, but the wind just ruins it.
Friday 28 August stays poor. The swell drops to 5ft and the cross-onshore wind keeps the surface choppy.
Saturday 29 August is still not great. A 7ft SSW swell with a very long 19-second period and a gentle cross-onshore wind keeps things fairly choppy.
Sunday 30 August is a standout. The morning sees a clean 10ft SW swell, 16-second period, and a light 10 km/h NW cross-off wind. The combined energy is very strong at 4891, and the surf is excellent for experienced surfers. The afternoon holds up with similar conditions.
Monday 31 August is another good one. A 8ft SW swell with a 16-second period, and a gentle offshore WNW wind at 15 km/h makes for clean waves. The combined energy is strong at 2813. This is very good surf.
Tuesday 01 September is marginal. The swell holds around 6ft to 8ft, but a moderate cross-shore wind creates a cross-chop. Not the best.
Wednesday 02 September sees the swell drop to 4ft, but a gentle offshore wind keeps it clean. Combined energy is weak at 920, so it’s a small wave day.
Thursday 03 September is promising. A 8ft SSW swell, 14-second period, and a fresh offshore NW wind at 30 km/h. Combined energy is strong at 2893. The wind is strong, so it’s a bit wild, but the offshore direction means clean faces.
Friday 04 September is for the hardcore. A 12ft SSW swell, but the wind is a strong 40 km/h from the SW, making it cross-off and very clean but powerful. Combined energy is very strong at 6222. Only for experts.
Saturday 05 September is a real highlight. A 10ft SSW swell with a 14-second period, and a moderate offshore W wind at 25 km/h. Combined energy is strong at 3761. Expect very good surf conditions.
Sunday 06 September is massive. A 13ft SSW swell with a 16-second period, and a fresh offshore WNW wind at 30 km/h. Combined energy is very strong at 7961. This is for experts only.
Monday 07 September remains big, with a 13ft SSW swell and an 18-second period, but a fresh cross-off wind from the SW makes it challenging. Combined energy is very strong at 8977.
Tuesday 08 September sees a lighter cross-onshore wind, but the swell is still 8ft to 10ft, making it marginal or poor.
Wednesday 09 September is a small cleanup day. A 6ft SW swell, 15-second period, and a moderate cross-off NNW wind.
The absolute best on offer is Sunday 30 August and Saturday 05 September. Sunday the 30th gives you a clean 10ft SW swell with light wind and very strong energy. Saturday the 5th offers a similar 10ft SSW swell with a clean offshore wind. For experienced surfers only,Wednesday 26 August morning is also a standout with its clean 10ft swell.
Crowds are possible at Middleton Beach, so keep that in mind.

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.
