The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming our way for Singleton. This is a bit of a tricky one. There’s a lot of swell on the horizon, but the conditions are going to be a real mixed bag. For most of the next two weeks, the wind is going to mess things up, or the swell is just going to be too damn big for a fun session. We’re looking at a long stretch from this afternoon all the way through the end of the first week where it's mostly a write-off for paddle surfing.
Right off the bat on the 1st of September, Tuesday, we've got a solid WSW groundswell running at 6 ft with a long period of 16 seconds. The wave energy is strong (1718). But the wind is a light cross-shore, which will put a bit of chop on the face. The water temp is sitting at 63 °F, which feels a bit chilly, about two degrees colder than you'd normally expect for this time of year.
The real action, and the only standout I can point to with any real enthusiasm, is on Monday the 7th of September. We have a solid 8 ft swell from the WSW with a long period of 16 seconds. Now, that's a big wave (more than 8 ft), so this is strictly for the experienced crew. The real beauty is the wind: it’s glassy in the morning. Absolute perfection for getting the face clean. The energy is massive (3598). This is a serious groundswell, so it will be breaking straight at the beach break, but for a skilled surfer on a point or reef setup, this is the pick of the forecast. The crowds can be a problem here sometimes, so get there early.
After that, things get messy again. The swell stays large into the second week, with a 10 ft swell on Tuesday the 8th and good cross-offshore wind, but the raw power (4494) makes it a beast only for the brave, and the comments suggest it's too big for this break. The rest of the week drops in size but the wind is usually cross-on or onshore, making it choppy. There is a glimpse of a clean, offshore breeze on the morning of the 15th of September, with a smaller 5 ft swell, but at that point we’re a long way out and the consistency is a question mark.
So, to keep it simple: The best on offer is the glassy morning of the 7th of September. Get on it if you're an experienced surfer. For the rest of the time, keep the board in the car and wait for the wind to play nice.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
