Middleton Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Righto, grab a coffee and settle in. Let's talk about what's cookin' at Middleton Point over the next couple of weeks.

First thing you need to know – this place is a point break that's consistent, meaning it'll be breaking more often than not. The water temp is sitting at 59°F which is pretty much where you'd expect it to be for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Now, the immediate outlook is a bit of a heartbreaker. Friday the 3rd of July is a write-off for paddle surfing – we're looking at a massive 18 ft SW swell with a very long 16-second period and a combined energy reading of 27191. That's a lot of power, way too much for this spot, even for the experienced crew. The cross-shore wind won't help either. A kite surfer might get a look in, but for a regular surfer, it's a no-go.

Saturday the 4th of July is where the magic starts. The swell has dropped to a much more manageable 8 ft from the SSW with a 13-second period. The energy is still moderate at 1965. But the real story is the wind – it's glassy. Dead calm. This will be clean, lined-up waves for the experienced surfer. Saturday afternoon the wind swings and it gets a bit choppy, so get in early.

Sunday morning the 5th of July looks fantastic for the confident surfer. The swell is 12 ft from the SSW and a very long 17-second period, with strong energy at 7101. The wind is light and offshore from the East, keeping the face smooth and clean. This is a standout window, but that size is getting up there, so it's for the know-how crew. Stick to the point and it'll handle that long-period energy beautifully.

Into the second week, Monday the 6th and Tuesday the 7th of July settle down into a nice rhythm. Waves around the 5 ft to 7 ft mark, still from the SSW, with clean offshore breezes. Solid fun for the experienced surfer, consistent and not too crowded.

Wednesday the 8th of July brings another pulse. The morning has a clean 8 ft SSW swell with a very long 18-second period and a combined energy of 3716. A real treat if you've got the skills.

After that, we see a bit of a mixed bag. Thursday the 9th through to Saturday the 11th of July is still good, with clean 5 ft to 6 ft SSW swell. Easy paddling, fun waves.

There's a bit of a lull with some rain and light onshore winds around the 12th of July, but then Monday the 13th of July brings another big pulse – 10 ft from the SSW with strong energy at 6438. Off the back of some rain, but the wind is offshore and clean. For the experts only.

The outlook gets challenging again from the 14th of July onwards. We see some windy, messy days with onshore slop, and a couple of days with nothing much on offer. It's not until Saturday the 18th of July that we see some tiny, clean 3 ft SSW groundswell creeping back in.

If I had to pick the two must-do sessions from this run, it's hands down the glassy Saturday 4th of July morning for the cleanest conditions, and the Wednesday 8th of July morning for the biggest, cleanest, and longest-period swell.
