The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break down what’s in store for Middleton Point.
The first few days are a bit grotty with the wind coming from the wrong direction, but don’t write it off just yet. We’re looking at a slow start with some messy conditions, but it cleans up nicely from Wednesday the 5th. Water’s sitting around 57°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
The real standout is Friday the 7th. Morning session has 1.9m (about 6ft) swell from the SSW with a long 16-second period, light offshore N wind – clean. The afternoon gets even better with 2.0m (7ft), glassy conditions, and the combined energy is cranking (2528 to 3363). That’s the day to circle. It’s a consistent point break, so you’ll get waves, but it’s beginner-friendly, so that 2.0m might be a bit much for the learners. Crowds are possible, so paddle out early.
Thursday the 6th morning is also a beauty – glassy, 1.2m (4ft) from the SSW, 16-second period, zero wind. Perfect for a longboard or a funboard. Saturday the 8th gives you fresh offshore wind at 30–35 km/h (18–22 mph) with 1.6m (5ft) clean swell, but it’s a bit small.
Come Monday the 10th, it gets too big – 3–3.5m (10–12ft) from the SSW – that’s expert territory, and for a point break at that size, it’s gonna be a handful. Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th see even bigger stuff, 4–4.5m (13–15ft), with massive energy (over 15000). That’s not for paddle surfing; more like a kite session if anything.
The second week finishes up with Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th offering cleaner 2–2.5m (7–8ft) SSW swell, light cross-off winds, and 16-second period. Solid for experienced surfers, crowds possible, energy moderate to strong.
So, if you’re picking your window, Friday the 7th is the one. Thursday the 6th morning is a close second for smaller, cleaner waves. The rest is either blown, too big, or just average. Get out there when it’s good.
Rusty out.

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.
