Singleton Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it.

We’ve got a stretch ahead at Singleton that starts off with a bit of a tease, then gets blown to bits, before showing some real promise later on. The first recommendation comes in on Monday the 14th, and honestly, it’s a mixed bag. That afternoon we’re seeing 7.5ft WSW groundswell with a 14-second period, so there’s serious energy behind it – combined energy is right up there at 2107 (strong). But the wind is a cross-off from the SE at 12 mph, keeping things clean, though the conditions are described as marginal. It’s not a total washout, but it’s not a standout either.

Tuesday morning the 15th is where things start looking good. You’ve got 6.9ft WSW swell, still 14 seconds, and the wind swings to a gentle offshore from the east at 9 mph. That translates to glassy, clean surf – excellent for experienced surfers. This is a real highlight. After that, the afternoon gets a bit lumpy again with that cross-off SE wind picking back up.

Wednesday the 16th is another solid call. Morning has 4.3ft WSW swell with a clean offshore from the NE at 12 mph. Not huge, but clean and rideable. Afternoon drops to 3.9ft but the wind lightens to 6 mph offshore – very clean, fun waves for a longer board.

Then things go south. From Thursday the 17th right through to Monday the 21st, it’s a mess. Strong cross-shore winds, onshore gales, and a lot of lumpy, blown-out surf. There’s a big 9.8ft swell on Saturday the 19th but with onshore winds, it’s a washing machine. Not worth paddling out.

There’s a gap with no real recommendations from the 17th through to the 22nd basically – almost a full week of poor conditions.

But hold onto your leash, because Saturday the 26th swings back around. That morning, we’ve got a clean 7.2ft WSW groundswell with a long 16-second period, and a gentle offshore breeze from the east at 9 mph. Combined energy is 2696 (strong), but with offshore wind, that’s proper, powerful surf for experienced surfers only – over 8ft is expert territory. This is the standout of the whole outlook.

Then Sunday the 27th morning is clean again, with 5.2ft WSW swell, 14 seconds, and almost no wind – just a slight air from the NE. That’s a beautiful, glassy session for a wider range of surfers.

Finally, Monday the 28th morning repeats the trick: 5.2ft WSW at 16 seconds, light offshore from the north, clean conditions. Another very good window.

So bottom line: Tuesday the 15th morning, Saturday the 26th morning, and Sunday the 27th morning are your best bets. The Saturday is the real stand-out for size and power, but only if you’ve got the experience. Water temp is 63.9°, which is about average for the time of year – nothing unusual there.

Ride safe, catch some clean ones.
