The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s take a look at what we’ve got coming up at Singleton.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but once it picks up, there are some real gems hidden in this forecast. The wave energy is going to be all over the place, so you’ll need to pick your moments.
The first decent window hits on Friday morning, the 21st of August. Singleton is picking up a solid 7.2ft groundswell from the west-southwest, and the period is a very long 15 seconds. That’s proper energy with the combined swell energy reading a hefty 2065. The wind is glassy, coming from the east-northeast at only 3 mph, which means the surface will be pristine. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. It’s a bit of a standout session, but with that long period, it might be a bit tricky at the beach break—better for the points.
The wind goes bad in the afternoon, turning to a stiff cross-onshore, so that window closes fast. The next real standout is Saturday morning the 22nd of August. The swell drops slightly to 6.6ft, but it’s still a WSW groundswell with a 16-second period, and the energy is even higher at 2068. The wind is perfectly glassy, NNE at 3 mph. Again, this is a session for experienced surfers only with that size and power. The water temp is 64.0°, which is about 1.4° cooler than average for this time of year, so a normal 4/3 will do.
We then hit a rough patch from Sunday through Tuesday. The wind is mostly cross-onshore or cross-shore, and the conditions are choppy or lumpy. The energy drops into the hundreds or low thousands. Not worth paddling out.
But then, Wednesday the 26th of August rolls around, and we get a massive pulse. The swell jumps to 11.5ft to 13.1ft from the west, with a period of 18 to 19 seconds. The combined energy is enormous, reading 8848. This is pure, dangerous power. The wind is cross-shore or cross-onshore, but honestly, it doesn’t matter. This is far too big for anyone but the most expert hellmen, and the forecast itself says it’s predicted to be too big for this break. For a beach-and-reef setup like Singleton, this is more of a big-wave tow-in or even a kite-surfing situation.
Thursday the 27th of August is still huge at 9.8ft, and again it’s too big for normal paddling.
Things settle down by Friday the 28th of August. The swell is a more manageable 6.2ft from the WSW, period 13 seconds, and the wind finally swings to a clean cross-offshore from the east-southeast at 9 mph. The energy is 1156. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers again, with clean lines.
Looking further out, the first week of September offers some hope. Monday morning, August 31st, has the wind going completely glassy—absolutely calm at 0 mph. The swell is 6.2ft from the WSW with a 15-second period. That’s a perfect morning for a paddle. The energy is 2426, so it has some punch.
Tuesday the 1st of September has an 8.2ft WSW groundswell at a 16-second period, with a gentle cross-shore breeze. It’s a bit more size again, but the wind is manageable.
Saturday the 5th of September finishes the run with a 5.2ft WSW swell, period 14 seconds, and a clean cross-offshore breeze from the east at 6 mph. That’s a good, clean day for experienced surfers, with the energy at 1157.
Overall, the true standouts are the glassy mornings on Friday the 21st and Saturday the 22nd of August, and that glassy Monday morning on the 31st of August. The big mid-week pulse in August is for experts or kites only.

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.
