The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.

We’re starting off with a bit of a wait. It’s not until Sunday the 19th that we see anything worth paddling out for, and even then, it’s a mixed bag. The good news is, once it gets going, there’s a decent run of waves, but you’ll have to pick your moments.

For the first real standout, look no further than the Sunday afternoon session on the 19th of July at Middleton Beach. We’ve got a solid 10 ft swell rolling in from the SSW, and the wind is swinging offshore out of the west at 12 mph. That’s clean, lined-up, and packing some serious energy (3209). The water is sitting at 65°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might not need the thickest rubber. This is as good as it gets for the whole outlook.

The following morning, Monday the 20th, is still a solid option. The swell drops back to 5 ft from the SSW, but with a light offshore from the NW, it’s going to be clean and fun. The energy is still moderate (1725), and it’s a good follow-up to Sunday’s main event.

Tuesday the 21st gets a bit lumpier with a cross-offshore wind from the SW, but the swell size hangs around the 7 ft to 7 ft mark. It’s not the cleanest, but it’s surfable.

Now, Wednesday the 22nd kicks up a bit of a warning. The swell jumps to 10 ft to 12 ft from the SSW with a very long 16-second period. That’s a lot of water moving around (6093), but the wind is cross-onshore. This is a big, powerful, choppy mess. If you’re a beginner, stay well away – this one is for the experts only, and even then, it’s not ideal.

Thursday the 23rd is a redemption day. Morning brings an 8 ft SSW swell with a light cross-offshore from the north. Clean. Then, the afternoon session goes glassy. A 7 ft SSW swell with an easterly breeze so light it’s practically a mirror. That’s a beautiful window for a late arvo paddle.

The swell drops off a bit over the weekend of the 25th and 26th, with smaller 4 ft to 5 ft waves. The winds are clean, but it’s more of a longboard or funboard kind of vibe. Not a standout, but still a nice day at the beach.

Looking into the second week, things get a bit more exciting again. On the 27th of July, Monday morning has a strong cross-offshore wind that makes it tricky, but by Monday afternoon, the wind swings offshore from the WNW at 12 mph and the swell is back to 7 ft from the SW. That’s a solid, clean session.

The real highlight of the second week is Tuesday the 28th of July. Morning session has a 7 ft swell from the SSW and a solid offshore wind from the west at 12 mph. The energy is pumping (2171). This is going to be a ripper of a morning.

Later in the week, things get a bit spicy and a bit messy. The 31st of July sees a solid 12 ft SSW swell, but with strong winds and a cross-offshore direction, it’s for the brave and the experienced. The combined energy is massive (6550 to 6849), so it’s a big, powerful ocean.

Into the first few days of August, the swell stays big, hitting 13 ft on the 2nd of August from the SSW. That’s a serious amount of water (9568). The wind is offshore, so it could be a wild, heavy, expert-only session. Not for the faint-hearted.

Overall, the best bets are the Sunday afternoon (19th July) and the Tuesday morning (28th July). Get in the water, and you’ll be smiling.

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.
