About this Spot

Middleton Point is a surf spot located in South Australia, Australia. It is situated near the town of Victor Harbor on the south coast of the Fleurieu Peninsula, approximately 82 kilometers south of Adelaide. The spot provides both left and right waves, making it suitable for surfers of all levels. The bottom consists of sand and rocks, and the waves are consistent, with a length of less than 50 meters. Middleton Point can be surfed at all tides, but surfers should be cautious of the rocks and submerged hazards when launching from the shore. The area is known for its urchins, rips, and undertow, so it’s important to be aware of these conditions. Localism can be an issue, so respecting the locals is crucial. Sharks are also present in the area, so surfers should remain vigilant. The spot can get crowded on weekends, so it’s important to check the surf etiquette when the spot is busy. Parking is available on top of the cliff, and surfers can access the beach by taking the stairs near the toilets or heading straight out toward the ocean. The nearby spots include Bashams Bommie, Frenchies, Chicken Run, Knights, and Middleton Beach. When the wind is light and from the north, surfers might find the odd barrel at the point and the beach. Before heading out, surfers should check their skills to ensure the spot and conditions match their surfing level. Respect the locals.
