The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag coming up at Singleton. The water’s currently sitting at 65.1°, which is a touch cooler than usual for this time of year – about 1.6° below average, so nothing too wild, but you’ll feel that slight chill.
First surf worth paddling out for is on Wednesday morning, the 15th. It’s not huge, around 4.6 ft from the WSW, with a long period of 14 seconds. That’s a groundswell, so it’ll have some push to it. The wind is a moderate cross-off from the NNE at 15 mph, which will keep the surface clean. The combined energy is strong at 1241, so there’s proper grunt behind it. It’s a beginner-friendly break, but with that long period, the sets might be a bit spaced out – better for a point or reef than a typical beach break. Crowds are sometimes an issue, so you might have some company. Afternoon sees similar conditions, with a slightly longer period of 16 seconds and energy jumping to 1446, still clean.
Thursday the 16th is a write-off. Morning has moderate rain and a cross-off wind, but the 5.2 ft swell is messy. Afternoon gets worse – 6.6 ft from the W at 14 seconds, but the wind swings cross-shore and creates a chop. The energy is massive at 1968, but you’re fighting a cross-chop; it’s not worth it.
Friday the 17th is another day to sit out. Swell holds around 5.6 ft to 5.9 ft, but the wind stays cross or cross-shore, and the period drops to 12-13 seconds. Energy is still moderate to strong (1009-1074), but the surface is lumpy. Not good.
Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th are a total bust. Swell pumps up to 11.5 ft on Saturday, with energy over 6300, but it’s onshore and lumpy – that’s expert-only territory, and even then, the wind is trash. Sunday is slightly smaller at 7.9 ft, but still cross-onshore and choppy. Don’t bother.
Monday the 20th is also poor. Swell drops to 4.9 ft-5.6 ft, but the wind is cross-onshore all day, making it choppy and messy. Energy is moderate (550-833), but the quality isn’t there.
Tuesday the 21st has onshore wind all day. Morning is 4.3 ft, and afternoon jumps to 7.2 ft, but the wind is blowing straight onshore at 15 mph. The energy is strong (1396-2082), but it’s a mess.
Finally, we get a window. Wednesday the 22nd is the first standout. Morning sees a cross-off from the SE at 19 mph, with 6.2 ft swell from the WSW at 13 seconds. The energy is strong at 1294, and the surface is clean. Afternoon is even better: the wind eases to 12 mph from the ESE, still cross-off, with 7.2 ft of swell at 13 seconds and energy of 1693. That’s the best surf of the first week – clean, solid, and with that long period groundswell, it’ll have proper shape. Singleton is a beginner spot, but this swell is getting up there; confident beginners will be fine, but it’s a bit much for total newbies.
Thursday the 23rd is the absolute pick of the entire forecast. Morning has offshore wind from the ENE at 15 mph, with 5.9 ft of WSW swell at 14 seconds. The energy is strong at 1374, and the wind is clean offshore – that’s pure magic. Afternoon is even lighter: offshore at 9 mph, 5.6 ft, 14 seconds, and energy of 1187. The conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. This is the day to call in sick. Crowds are possible, but with those conditions, it’ll be worth sharing a few waves.
From Friday the 24th onwards, the surf fades fast. Friday morning is only 3.9 ft, energy down to 499, and the wind is cross-off. Afternoon has 3.6 ft, still clean but small. Saturday the 25th is tiny – 3.0 ft, light winds, but not much push. Sunday the 26th is a write-off with onshore winds. There’s a gap of a few days with no real quality.
Then we get a surprise on Monday the 27th. Morning is glassy – wind from the NNE at 3 mph, with 3.

Information about the Singleton Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Singleton provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Singleton can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Singleton 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 (Singleton) 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 Singleton 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.
