Singleton Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, this is Rusty.

We've got a bit of a wild ride ahead on the Mid North Coast. The water's sitting at 63.9°, which is a degree colder than normal for this time of year, so you'll feel that little nip in the air.

The next few days are a bit of a mixed bag, but there's some solid, long-period groundswell arriving. Things kick off on Tuesday morning, 4 August, with a solid 6.6 ft swell out of the WSW, a 19-second period, and strong wave energy of 2762. It's a bit of a lumpy beast with the wind on it, only scoring a 1 for the morning. Tuesday afternoon sees the swell bump up to 7.9 ft, period 17 seconds, and energy jumping to 3239, but again, the wind is on it, keeping it marginal.

Wednesday morning, 5 August, shows promise with a 8.2 ft swell from the WSW, a 16-second period, and strong energy of 3668. The wind is light and cross-shore, so there'll be some small ripples on the face. It's still a bit behind the scenes though. The real standout for the early week is Wednesday afternoon. The swell hits 9.8 ft from the WSW, period 16 seconds, and energy is pumping at 4543. The wind is light and cross-shore, and the forecast says the wind and tide are favorable, but the swell might be too big for this break. Take it from me, this is a session for the experienced crew only.

Thursday morning, 6 August, we're back to a 8.2 ft swell, 16-second period, and 3664 energy, but the wind goes cross-shore again, keeping it a bit messy. Afternoon is a write-off with a cross-onshore wind and chop.

Friday, 7 August, starts with rain showers and a 8.2 ft swell, 16-second period, and 3216 energy. The light cross-onshore wind will put some ripples on it. The afternoon is a total loss with a fresh onshore wind and lumpy, blown-out conditions.

Saturday, 8 August, is a washout. Strong winds, huge 14.8 ft swell, and poor conditions all day. The energy is massive, 6090 in the morning and 9686 in the afternoon, but it's a mess.

Sunday, 9 August, the swell is still too big at 11.5 ft, with a 17-second period and 6642 energy. The wind is light and cross-onshore early, but it's too big for the spot. The afternoon is a no-go with rain showers and fresh onshore wind.

Monday, 10 August, we have a 9.8 ft swell, 14-second period, and 3339 energy. The morning has a light cross-shore wind, but again, it's too big. The afternoon is choppy and onshore.

Now, here's where it gets interesting. Tuesday, 11 August, the swell drops to 7.2 ft, period 15 seconds, and 2158 energy. The morning has a light offshore wind, but it's still marginal. The afternoon is a bit choppy.

The next real standout comes on Wednesday, 12 August. The morning session is looking excellent for experienced surfers. We have a 7.2 ft swell from the WSW, a 16-second period, and 2354 energy. The wind is light and cross-offshore, giving us clean, lined-up waves. This is a solid bet for the crew who know what they're doing.

Thursday, 13 August, is another cracker for the experienced crowd. Morning sees a 8.2 ft swell, 17-second period, 3538 energy, and a light cross-offshore wind. Clean conditions again. The afternoon is a bit of a wash with the wind going onshore.

Friday, 14 August, is a gem. The swell is 6.2 ft, period 17 seconds, and 1992 energy. The morning has a light cross-offshore wind, making for excellent conditions. The afternoon is glassy, with the wind dropping to a slight air and the swell dropping to 6.2 ft, 16-second period, and 1807 energy. This is a perfect window for the experienced surfer, with clean, glassy waves.

Saturday, 15 August, the morning is clean again with a 6.9 ft swell, 14-second period, and 1652 energy, and a light cross-offshore wind. The afternoon is a bit of a letdown with the wind going onshore.

Sunday, 16 August, the swell is back up to 7.5 ft, 14-second period, and 2140 energy, but the wind is moderate and cross-shore, creating a bumpy mess. The afternoon sees a 9.8 ft swell from the WNW, which is too big.

Then, from Monday, 17 August, through to Wednesday, 19 August, the swell is huge, between 11.5 ft and 16.4 ft, with massive energy. The wind is onshore and lumpy most of the time, making it a write-off, except for Wednesday morning, 19 August, which has a light offshore wind and
