Singleton Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ over the next 16 days for Singleton.

First up, the water temp is sittin’ around 66°, which is pretty normal for this time of year. Nothin’ unusual there.

Right now, it’s a bit of a flat start with nothing worth paddlin’ out for. The first real glimmer of hope hits on Sunday the 12th. The morning session looks like the pick of the weekend with clean conditions, light cross-offshore breeze from the ESE at 6 mph. Swell is a solid 6 ft from the WSW with a long 15-second period, givin’ it that groundswell push. The overall energy is strong (1945). The combo of a clean surface, decent size, and that long period will set up nicely for experienced surfers, though beginners might find it a bit much. There might be a few others out since crowds are sometimes an issue here.

Come Monday the 13th, the morning is even better. It builds to 7 ft from the WSW, period stretchin’ to 17 seconds, and combined energy is pumpin’ at 2751. Winds are light and cross-offshore from the SE at 6 mph, so it’ll be clean and powerful. Definitely a standout for the first week. Be aware that at 7 ft and that long a period, it’ll be a proper wave, better suited to experienced crew. At a beach break, this long period groundswell might close out, so pick your peak.

Tuesday the 14th should also deliver, with the morning and afternoon both lookin’ clean thanks to offshore winds from the NE and ENE at just 6 mph. The swell holds around 7 ft to 6 ft, WSW, with a 15-second period. The energy stays up around 1500-1800. Two days in a row with clean, offshore conditions is a true treat for this spot.

After that, the middle of the week gets messy. Wednesday and Thursday are either choppy or blown out. Friday the 17th is a write-off with strong onshore winds and rain.

Lookin’ at the second week, things get a bit chaotic. Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th pull in some serious swell – 15 ft on Saturday and 10 ft on Sunday – but it’s flagged as too big for this break, so unless you’re on a gun and know the place inside out, give it a miss. The energy readings are massive, over 7000, but it’s just too much.

After that, it settles down. Monday the 20th morning has offshore wind from the ENE at 12 mph, with a small 5 ft swell from the SW. That’s a good, clean, paddle-friendly size. Then Tuesday the 21st morning is another little gem: 4 ft from the WSW, 17-second period, cross-offshore wind, and clean. Not a big day, but if you want a peaceful, clean wave without the crowd, that’s your window.

The outlook fades out after that with small, choppy conditions or full-on onshore storms later in the week. The end of the run is rough with strong onshore winds and rain, so no good options there.

Best on offer: Sunday the 12th morning and Monday the 13th morning are the standouts – clean, solid, and powerful groundswell, just right for experienced surfers. For the milder, cleaner option later on, Tuesday the 21st morning is a solid quiet choice.
