Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what Middleton Point has in store.
We’re starting off Monday the 6th with a solid SSW groundswell. You’re looking at 7ft surf with a 14-second period and a light NE cross-off breeze. Water temp is about normal for the season. This is expert-level stuff, with combined energy at 1748 – plenty of grunt.
Tuesday the 7th drops to 5ft but the period stretches to 16 seconds, which is classic long-period groundswell. A point break like this will really draw it out. Winds stay light and cross-off, keeping things clean. Energy sits at 1042.
Wednesday the 8th is the clear standout for this first week. We’ve got 8ft from the SSW with an 18-second period – that’s a very long interval, rare to see. The combined energy jumps to 3323. Winds are a light NE cross-off, so it’s clean. This is an expert-only day, but the point will handle it beautifully. Crowds are possible, so plan accordingly.
Thursday the 9th holds at 5ft with 15-second period, still clean and solid. Friday the 10th morning offers 5ft from the WSW with an offshore NNE breeze – glassy and clean, though energy drops to 1850. Friday afternoon gets smaller and Saturday the 11th gets blown out by a strong 35 km/h NNW wind.
From Sunday the 12th we hit a rough stretch. Sunday morning has 10ft SW swell but with a short 9-second period and strong W cross-shore wind – lumpy and messy. That afternoon sees 12ft with a 15-second period, but the wind turns cross-onshore, making it a complete washout. Monday the 13th is way too big: 15ft SSW with a moderate period – for big-wave specialists only, and even then, the wind isn't cooperating.
Things turn around from Monday the 14th through the 16th. Wednesday the 15th morning is a sleeper: 8ft SSW, 16-second period, and glassy conditions with a light SW breeze. On a point break, that is pure magic. Crowds are possible, but you won't care once you're in. Thursday the 16th morning has 6ft clean surf, and that afternoon goes glassy again with 6ft – another top pick.
The 17th and 18th are smaller and cleaner, but winds pick up, especially the 18th with a 30 km/h NNW offshore that’s clean but strong. The 19th is marginal with moderate W wind. Then the 20th is a disaster: 13ft of lumpy, cross-onshore junk – stay on land.
The real standouts? Wednesday the 8th for the sheer size and period, and Wednesday the 15th morning for that rare glassy, long-period perfection.
Rusty.

Information about the Middleton Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Middleton Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Middleton Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Middleton Point 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 Point) 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 Point 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.
