The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking at Singleton over the next couple of weeks.
The forecast starts with a bit of a slow patch, but once it gets going, there’s a lot to like. The first proper surf we see is on Friday the 17th of July, with a clean 5ft groundswell from the WSW, running at 13 seconds. The wind is a light cross-offshore, so the morning session is looking really good. The wave energy is moderate (952), and the conditions are clean. It’s a great way to kick things off.
The morning of Monday the 20th is another standout. The swell drops a touch to 5ft, still from the WSW, with a period of 12 seconds, but the wind is a near-glass cross-offshore. The surf is clean and the energy is moderate (725). This is a solid window for a paddle.
Now, if you’re after the absolute best of the bunch, you need to look ahead to Wednesday the 30th of July. Thursday morning is the real gem. The swell is 4ft, but it’s a very long period groundswell from the W, with a period of 21 seconds. That’s some serious energy for the size (2162). The wind is light offshore, so the surf will be clean and lined up. This is a quality wave, but that long period will make it a bit tricky at the beach – it’ll be more about the takeoff than the long walls. Keep an eye on this one.
The first week of August also looks promising. Saturday the 1st of August morning has a clean 6ft swell from the WSW, period of 16 seconds, and a light cross-offshore breeze. The energy is strong (1569), and it’s shaping up to be a solid option for experienced surfers.
There are a few gaps. After the initial Friday session, Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th are a write-off – the swell is too big and messy, with poor wind. The middle of the week from Tuesday the 22nd to Thursday the 24th is a bit average, with moderate wind and inconsistent quality. The surf picks up again nicely from the 25th onwards.
For the record, the water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

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.
