The Lowdown
Righto, Singleton. Let’s have a proper look at what’s coming down the line.
First up, the water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
We’ve got a lot of swell on the cards over the next couple of weeks, but it’s not all going to be surfable. There’s a big gap at the start of the period. The first session that’s actually worth paddling out for is the morning of Sunday the 30th of August. The swell’s coming from the WSW at around 7 ft, with a very long period of 18 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy right there, with combined swell energy of 2678 (moderate to strong). That kind of period can make waves a bit fat on a beach break, but Singleton is exposed to this direction, so it should line up okay. The wind is light NE, cross-off, and it’s clean. This is for experienced surfers only – the size and power are not for learners.
That morning is the standout in the first week. The afternoon turns ugly with onshore wind, and from Monday the 31st through to the end of the week it’s mostly cross-on or onshore, choppy, poor quality. The swell hangs around but the wind just ruins it.
Now, Saturday the 5th of September morning gets interesting, but only for the brave. We’ve got a 10 ft WSW swell with moderate energy (3544), light cross-off wind from the north, and the surf is clean. But – the swell is too big for this break. That’s expert territory only, and you’d want to know the place well. The same goes for the Sunday the 6th morning – 8 ft, clean, cross-off, but still powerful.
The next real highlight that looks good for a broader range of experienced surfers is Tuesday the 8th of September morning. Glassy conditions, light southerly wind (5 km/h), a 6 ft WSW swell with a 14-second period, combined energy of 1484 (moderate). The surf is clean, and the conditions are excellent for experienced surfers. This is probably the best balance of size and quality in the whole outlook.
Wednesday the 9th morning is also glassy, with zero wind and a smaller 5 ft swell. That’s a bit more user-friendly, but still a solid wave. Good for a fun session with clean conditions.
After that, the second week gets a bit messy again with onshore winds and poor conditions, until another big pulse shows up around Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th of September. The swell rockets back up to 12 ft from the W and WSW, with combined energy in the thousands (4529 to 6449). The wind is light, but the size is just too big for these breaks. It’s really only for the absolute hardcore, and even then it’s a gamble.
So overall – the best windows are the mornings of Sunday 30th August, Tuesday 8th September, and maybe Wednesday 9th September if you want smaller waves. Everything else is either blown out or oversized.
Rusty.

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.
