The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty. Let's talk about what's on the table for Middleton Beach.

Overall, this is a frustrating outlook. We've got plenty of swell on the cards, but the wind is just not playing ball for most of the 16-day window. The water is sitting at a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, around 63°F, so that's a small comfort.

We kick things off on Friday the 4th of September. There's a solid 12ft swell from the SSW with a 12-second period, but the 25 km/h WSW cross-offshore wind is just making it messy. The combined wave energy is a strong 6927, but the quality is poor. It's a no-go for a paddle.

Saturday the 5th is a write-off with similar conditions. The swell drops a bit, but the wind is still cross-off from the N and NNW.

Sunday the 6th is ugly. 10ft of S swell with an onshore SSE wind at 30 km/h. The wind is fresh and cross-onshore, making it lumpy. This is kite-surfing territory, not surfable.

The whole first week is a washout. The wind is either onshore, cross-onshore, or just too strong through to Thursday the 11th. There's a lot of energy in the water, with readings hitting 7062 on Tuesday the 8th, but it's all blown out.

There's a slight glimmer on Saturday the 12th of September. The morning shows a 7ft SW swell with a period of 16 seconds and a 30 km/h offshore wind from the W. The energy is still solid at 2561, and it's clean. This is the best bet in the whole first week and a half, but it's not a standout, just the least bad option.

Sunday the 13th and Monday the 14th are a mixed bag. Monday morning has a big 12ft SW swell with a 14-second period, and the wind is light from the E at 10 km/h, but it's onshore. The energy is high at 5028, but the onshore wind ruins it.

The real standout, and the only one worth getting excited about, is Saturday the 19th of September. The morning session has a solid 13ft SW swell with a 16-second period, and the wind is offshore from the WNW at 25 km/h. The combined energy is a massive 7763, and it's described as clean. The Friday afternoon before it also looks promising with 13ft SSW swell and a cross-off wind, but Saturday morning is the pick. The swell is big, over 8ft, so this is for experienced surfers only. The 16-second period is a long groundswell, so it might be a bit too lined up for a beach break, but if the tide is right, it could be excellent.

The rest of the second week is average at best, with the wind turning cross-on again. Friday the 18th has an 8ft SW swell with a cross-off wind, but it's not in the same league as Saturday.

So, the one true standout is the 13ft SW swell at Middleton Beach on Saturday the 19th of September with clean offshore winds. That's the one to circle on the calendar. The rest of the window is a waiting game.

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.
