The Lowdown

Alright, grab your wettie and listen up. The next couple of weeks are shaping up to be a proper run for Middleton Beach, but there’s a bit of patience needed at the start. The first call is Sunday afternoon, but honestly, it’s a bit of a tease. There’s some lumpy 7ft SW swell, but the wind is crossing on it, and the tide’s iffy. You’re better off having a look, but don’t expect much. The water’s sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a small win.

Monday morning gets blown out by a solid cross-shore, so don’t bother. But by Monday afternoon, things clean right up. That SW swell hangs around 6ft, the wind swings cross-off, and it’s glassy. That’s your first real chance to get wet.

Then the fun starts. Tuesday morning’s got a bigger 8ft SW swell with a clean cross-off, but it’s the afternoon where it steps up. We’re talking 10ft of SW groundswell, offshores, and it’s pushing 17 seconds. That’s proper, head-high-plus, lined-up surf. The energy reading is strong at over 5000. This is the moment.

Wednesday is the standout of the first week. Morning has 13ft of SW swell, light offshore, clean as a whistle, and the energy is cranking at over 7700. This is big, powerful surf—definitely for experienced surfers only. If you’re solid, this is your day. The afternoon eases a touch but stays in the 13ft range with lighter winds.

Thursday through Saturday stays well overhead, with swell between 10ft and 12ft, but the winds get a bit more cross-off and there’s a question mark over the tide. Still plenty of power in the water—the energy readings are consistently in the 5000-6000 range—but it’s not as crisp as Wednesday.

Now, here’s the big one. Saturday the 8th looks like a monster. We’re talking 16ft of SW swell with the energy absolutely lighting up at a massive 13170. The wind is cross-off and clean, but this is not a day for the faint-hearted. This is heavy, ledgey, expert-only territory. If you’re charging, this is the session to circle. Sunday the 9th stays big, 13ft, with better offshores in the morning—still a serious slab.

Monday the 10th turns onshore and choppy, and it’s a write-off. The swell is still huge at 15ft, but the wind is wrong and it’ll be a mess. Give it a miss.

Tuesday the 11th is the other big standout. Morning has a clean 8ft SW swell with light offshore winds and a very long 20-second period—that’s proper groundswell, and it’ll be clean. But the afternoon? 18ft of SW with gentle cross-off winds and an energy reading of 17278. That’s the biggest energy call of the whole run. This will be out of control, in the best way if you’re an expert. But beware—that long period at a beach break can make things close out or shift around. Still, it’s the pick of the bunch for the brave.

Wednesday the 12th stays solid, 15ft in the morning from the S with light offshores, easing into the afternoon. After that, the size drops a bit, but it never really stops. Thursday the 13th through Saturday the 15th stay in the 10ft to 13ft range, but the winds get more cross-shore and choppy at times. Still, there’ll be waves.

The last few days, Sunday the 16th onwards, keep things interesting. Monday the 17th looks like a nice reset—8ft SW with clean offshore winds. A bit more manageable, but still solid.

So, bottom line: if you’re an experienced surfer, Tuesday the 4th afternoon, Wednesday the 5th morning, and especially Tuesday the 11th afternoon are the ones to circle. That 11th is the true standout of the whole period. For everyone else, keep an eye on Monday afternoon and the cleaner, smaller windows. And remember, Middleton is inconsistent, so when it fires, it pays to be there.

Stay stoked.

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.
