The Lowdown
Alright, let’s have a look at what’s cooking at Singleton. The next couple of weeks are a real mixed bag, but there are a couple of windows worth paddling out for. The water temp is 18° right now, which is right where it should be for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real opportunity hits on Monday the 24th. We’ve got clean, glassy conditions first thing in the morning – that’s a huge plus. The swell is a solid 7ft from the WSW, with a period of 14 seconds, so there’s plenty of energy in the water. That longer period means better shaped waves and longer lulls between sets, making it easier to get out the back. The wind is dead calm, so it’s going to be smooth. This is a standout, but those waves are a bit too big for beginners. For the experienced crew, Monday morning is the pick of the first week.
Later in the week, we see a big spike. Wednesday the 26th has a massive 12ft swell from the WSW with a very long period of 19 seconds. The energy is through the roof. And the wind is glassy in the morning. But here’s the thing – that’s just too much water moving around for Singleton. This is expert-only territory, and even then, it might be a washing machine. The same goes for the following Saturday, the 5th of September, where we see another 12ft swell. Those days are for the big-wave chargers only, and even then, it’s a serious call.
The rest of the forecast is a bit average. Tuesday the 25th kicks up a cross-shore wind that messes things up. Towards the end of the first week, we get some offshore winds on Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th, but the swell drops right down to 4ft to 5ft. The period on the 29th is a very long 16 seconds, but with that small size, it might be a bit fickle. The wind is fresh offshore, so it’ll be clean, just small.
Looking further out, the second week is a write-off. From Sunday the 31st, we’re looking at a long run of onshore or cross-onshore winds and messy, choppy conditions. The swell sticks around, but the quality just isn’t there. You’d be fighting a losing battle. There’s a gap of several days with no real recommendations.
So, to wrap it up: Monday morning, the 24th of August, is your best bet. Glassy, solid 7ft groundswell, and clean. If you’re an expert and you’ve got the gear, the 26th and the 5th of September could be a spectacle, but it’s a dangerous game. For the rest of us, wait for that Monday morning window.

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.
