Singleton Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, checkin’ in.

We’re lookin’ at Singleton as the only wave in town for the next 16 days, and it’s a bit of a wild ride. Water temp is sittin’ around 64°, which is dead average for this time of year. But the size is the whole story here. It’s a ton of strong, long-period WSW groundswell with heavy energy numbers.

Come Thursday morning the 6th, we’ve got a 10-foot swell from the WSW with a 16-second period and energy at (3937). It’s just a mountain of water, and even with a favorable wind and tide, it’s too big for a safe paddle. That afternoon, the wind gets messy.

Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th are a total loss. The swell sits at 10 to 16 feet, with energy spiking to (8418) and then a massive (12176). The wind is howlin’ cross-on, and it’s all just poor, blown-out conditions.

Sunday the 9th morning offers a little hope. The swell drops to around 12 feet with a 17-second period, energy at (6659). We get a light offshore wind, and it’s clean. But again, that 12-foot swell is just too much for this break. The afternoon turns to rain and onshore wind.

The middle of the week, from the 10th to the 15th, is a constant battle with size. Monday the 10th is all onshore and ugly. Tuesday the 11th has a clean cross-shore wind, but we’re lookin’ at a 16-foot swell. Wednesday the 12th morning is clean with favorable conditions, but still 10-foot. You have to wait until Thursday the 13th morning for something that feels manageable. A drop to 7 feet with a 16-second period and clean offshore wind. Still big, and it’s for experienced crew only.

Friday the 14th morning is the absolute standout. We’re talkin’ a 8-foot WSW groundswell, 17-second period, and clean offshore wind from the northeast. Energy sits at a solid (3440). This is the session to chase. The size is pushing the limit, but with that wind, Singleton will be firing perfect, powerful lines. It’s strictly for experts.

After that, the waves get smaller and more marginal through the weekend of the 15th and 16th, with 6-foot surf and clean wind. Then from the 17th onward, we’re right back into big, messy, and blown-out conditions. Sunday the 16th through Wednesday the 19th is all big junk.

There’s one more tease on Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st. The wind goes glassy or offshore, and the swell is 10 to 13 feet with good energy. But once again, it’s just too big for paddle surfing at Singleton.

So here’s the deal: circle Friday the 14th morning. That’s your one real shot at clean, heavy groundswell. Everything else is either a washing machine or too big for comfort. If you’re not in the big-wave category, this is a 16-day blank. For those who chase the big, clean sets, you’ve got one window.

Rusty.
