The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checking in for Singleton. We've got a mixed bag coming our way over the next couple of weeks. The swell is going to be a big player here, but the wind is going to decide if it's actually any good.
Overall, the pattern is all about that consistent, powerful WSW groundswell. The ocean is going to be pumping with some serious energy for a solid stretch. The numbers show the combined energy is often moderate to strong (2868 to 5859) but the problem is a lot of this swell is going to be too big for clean conditions at this spot. We have a bit of a wait for the good stuff, but it does arrive.
Let's start with this Wednesday, the 19th. The morning is a no-go with a solid 8ft W swell and a direct onshore wind, just messy. But Wednesday afternoon looks interesting, even if it's a bit much. A 10ft swell from the WSW is predicted to be too big for the break, so only for the brave and experienced.
Thursday the 20th morning is a real standout. We've got a 8ft WSW swell, with a long 16-second period, and it's dead glassy. The wind is calm. This is clean surf, but at that size with that power, it's strictly for the experts (combined energy 3594). Thursday afternoon gets a bit choppy with the cross-onshore wind coming up.
Friday the 21st morning offers another window with a 7ft WSW swell and glassy conditions from a light easterly. The swell period is still a healthy 15 seconds, so the wave shape should be good, but again, this is one for the more experienced crew. The afternoon goes to crap with the onshore wind.
We then hit a rough patch. From Friday afternoon through to Monday the 24th morning, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore and choppy. The swell drops a bit but the quality is poor.
Monday the 24th morning is a bright spot. A 6ft WSW swell with a clean, light offshore breeze from the ENE. The combined energy is moderate (1403). This is a much better size for a wider range of surfers, and the offshore wind will make for some nice, clean faces. This is the best on offer for the average surfer.
After that, the swell really drops out. Tuesday the 25th is tiny and messy, with poor surf conditions. Then we get another pulse of big swell on Wednesday the 26th morning. Another 10ft, 17-second WSW groundswell, but again, it's too big and the wind is cross-onshore. Just a massive wall of water for the die-hards only.
Thursday the 27th is a bit better with a 8ft WSW swell and a clean cross-offshore wind, but the wind is strong. The following days see the swell ease off, with some clean but small options on Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th mornings with offshore winds.
Looking way out to Wednesday, September 2nd, the morning is another potential standout. A 7ft WSW swell, 16-second period, and glassy conditions. That's a beautiful, clean, powerful swell, but at that size it's for the experienced.
And finally, Thursday, September 3rd, the afternoon sees a 10ft W swell that is predicted to be too big for the break again.
The Best of the Bunch:
For the experienced surfer looking for power, Thursday, August 20th morning is the call. Clean, glassy, and a solid 8ft groundswell.
For the average surfer wanting a good session, Monday, August 24th morning is your window. A manageable 6ft swell with clean offshore winds.
For a long-range look that has promise, keep an eye on Wednesday, September 2nd morning for another clean, glassy window with a good 7ft swell. The water temp is sitting at 64°, which is about average for the time of year.
That's the picture from here. Stay safe out 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.
