The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you—Middleton Beach is a very sheltered spot, and this 16-day window is a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got some solid swell coming, but the wind and tide conditions are going to keep things interesting. Don’t expect consistent, easy waves; this is a spot that takes a bit of reading.
The first standout is shaping up for Thursday, 3rd September. Swell’s pushing 12ft from the SSW, with a period of 15 seconds—that’s a proper groundswell with real energy (combined energy of 5240). The wind is offshore from the WNW, so it’s going to be clean and lined up. This is expert territory at that size, but the conditions are about as good as it gets here. The afternoon session is even cleaner with a lighter offshore breeze and slightly smaller, 10ft waves—still excellent for experienced surfers.
Then we’ve got the real gem: Monday, 7th September. The morning is already looking tidy with a 12ft SSW swell, 16-second period, and a light WSW breeze. By the afternoon, the wind drops to a gentle breeze, and the combined energy jumps to 6528. The waves are still 12ft and clean, and the description says “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers.” This is the pick of the whole outlook.
The week after that, Tuesday, 8th September morning is a beauty—10ft SSW swell, 16-second period, and almost no wind from the NW. Flat clean, glassy lines. Then Thursday, 10th September morning slams in with a 13ft SW swell, 18-second period, and a light N breeze. That’s serious energy (9586) and perfect for the experienced crew.
There are a couple of days where it gets too big and messy. Friday, 4th September is a write-off with 16ft swell and strong winds. And the later part of the window, from around the 14th, the swell drops off and the conditions get more mixed. The water temperature is sitting around 64°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at Middleton Beach.
Overall, don’t bother with the first week unless you’re an expert and you’ve got your eye on the 3rd or 7th. The second week has some real highlights, but it’s a bit more of a roll of the dice. Keep an eye on the forecast.
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.
