Middleton Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what we’ve got coming up at Middleton Point over the next couple of weeks.

We’re looking at a solid run of surf, but the real standout is going to be Tuesday morning, July 28th. We’ve got a 7.5ft SSW groundswell with a 16-second period, and the winds are cross-offshore out of the WNW. The combined energy is pumping at 3102 (moderate), and that long period will wrap into the point beautifully. This is going to be clean, powerful, and well-shaped. It’s a bit too big for beginners, but for the experienced crew, this is the pick of the window.

The water temp is sitting at 57.2°, which is about 1.4° cooler than average for this time of year, so not a big deal, but you might want a spring suit.

Now, let’s run through the rest. Monday morning, July 27th, kicks things off with a clean 4.9ft SSW swell, a 13-second period, and light offshore winds out of the north. The energy is moderate at 983. It’s not the biggest, but it’ll be clean and fun for the beginners. The afternoon gets a bit messy with a cross-off breeze and the energy dropping off.

Tuesday afternoon, July 28th, the swell jumps to 9.8ft, but the wind goes cross-shore and gets lumpy. The energy is strong at 6403, but it’s getting too big and choppy for this point. It’s really only for the experts if they paddle out, but the wind is a problem.

Wednesday, July 29th, is a write-off. We’ve got 13.1ft and 11.5ft SSW swells with cross-onshore winds, and the comments say it’s too big for this break. The energy is off the charts (8116 and 4836), but it’s a mess. Save your energy.

Thursday, July 30th, sees the swell drop back to 7.5ft and then 6.2ft, but the wind is straight onshore from the south. The surf will be bumpy. Not worth it.

Friday, July 31st, the morning brings a clean 4.9ft SSW swell with a light offshore from the north, and the energy is 720. The wind is glassy, so it’ll be a nice little session for the longboard or a fun shortboard. The afternoon gets a cross-on breeze, so get it early.

Now for the first week of August. Saturday, August 1st, is a beauty. The morning has a 3.6ft SSW groundswell with a 17-second period, and it’s glassy with a light offshore. The energy is 1052. Then the afternoon picks up to 5.9ft with a 16-second period and clean cross-offshore winds. The energy jumps to 3564. This is a solid day, and the afternoon is a standout session for the experienced.

Sunday, August 2nd, keeps the 5.9ft SSW swell with a 16-second period, and it’s offshore from the NNW. The energy is 1734. The wind is moderate, but it’s clean. The afternoon gets a bit stronger wind, so the morning is your window.

Monday, August 3rd, gets messy with cross-shore winds and an 8.2ft swell. The energy is 2618, but the quality drops off. The afternoon is even worse with cross-on winds. Skip it.

Tuesday, August 4th, is a hidden gem. The morning is glassy, with a light 5.9ft SSW swell and a 12-second period. The energy is 1069. This is a sneaky good session for the experienced. The afternoon gets a little cross-on, but the morning is pure.

Wednesday, August 5th, the morning is glassy again with a 3.6ft SSW groundswell and a very long 19-second period. The energy is 1347. This is a long-period groundswell, so it’ll be ripable at the point but might feel a bit fat. The afternoon gets a cross-on breeze.

Thursday, August 6th, is clean with a 5.6ft SSW swell, 16-second period, and cross-offshore winds. The energy is 1393. The afternoon gets a cross-on breeze, so the morning is your best bet.

Friday, August 7th, the morning is a standout for the second week. We’ve got a 7.2ft SSW groundswell with a 19-second period, and it’s glassy with a light cross-offshore breeze. The energy is strong at 4734. This is a big, clean, long-period swell for the point. The afternoon gets a light cross-shore breeze,
