Singleton Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking at Singleton over the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a solid run of south-west groundswell on the cards, but the wind is gonna be the main character in this story. Right off the bat, Tuesday the 14th looks like the pick of the early days. We’re looking at a 6ft swell out of the WSW with a super long 15-second period, and with a gentle offshore breeze, it’ll be clean and lined up. The water’s sitting at 65°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing crazy there. The combined energy is strong (1506), and the sets will have plenty of push. This is a spot for experienced surfers given the size and power, so leave the foamies at home.

That Tuesday afternoon holds up the same quality, but the real standout in the whole window is Friday morning, the 17th. Glassy conditions, 5ft of that same long-period WSW swell, and the energy is still solid (934). It’s a rare moment of perfection in a forecast that’s about to get rowdy. If you can get on it, do it. That’s the one.

The middle of the week gets messy. Wednesday the 15th has cleaner surf with cross-offshore winds, but the swell drops a bit and the quality is only marginal. Thursday the 16th is a write-off with rain and a strong cross-shore wind, and by Saturday the 18th, we’re looking at a massive 13ft west swell with howling onshore winds. That’s not for paddling; that’s a kite and tow-in show if anything. The combined energy hits 4412 and 6882 on Saturday, but it’s gonna be a washing machine.

Sunday the 19th is still big at 8ft, but the wind swings lighter, so it’s a bit more manageable for the keen. The following week is a mixed bag of onshore winds and moderate swell, nothing to write home about until the 24th and 25th.

The end of the run – Friday the 24th through the 27th – brings back some clean conditions. Friday the 24th morning has a clean 6ft WSW with a cross-offshore breeze, and Saturday the 25th morning is offshore again with a clean 5ft. Sunday the 26th morning also offers clean conditions with a 5ft westerly.

Then we hit the 28th, and it’s another massive swell event with 13ft of west swell, and the file says it’s too big for this break. The 29th looks promising again, with a clean 7ft WSW groundswell on the Wednesday morning.

So, the standout is clear: get on the Friday morning, the 17th, for the best chance of a truly glassy session on a solid, long-period WSW swell. The near-term Tuesday is also a winner. After that, it’s a case of picking the clean windows between the windy and oversized days.

Rusty.
