Singleton Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Singleton over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a slow start, but there’s a real gem hiding in the second week that’s worth keeping an eye on.

The first proper surfable day doesn’t roll in until Sunday, the 30th of August. Before that, Friday and Saturday are a write-off – messy winds and marginal conditions mean you’re better off staying on the beach. So, we’ve got a couple of days of waiting.

Sunday the 30th is where it gets interesting. We’ve got a solid 7ft swell rolling in from the WSW, and the real kicker is the morning wind: glassy, coming from the NNE at just 3 mph. That’s about as clean as it gets. The water’s sitting at 65°, which is spot on average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The combined energy is pumping hard at 2678 (moderate to strong). This is a standout window for anyone who knows what they’re doing – the 7ft faces are a bit much for beginners, but for the experienced crew, it’s prime. The 18-second period (very long groundswell) means it’ll be a bit walled at the beach, so keep that in mind.

Monday the 31st is a write-off with onshore winds, and Tuesday the 1st of September is only marginal. Wednesday the 2nd is a complete no-go.

Now, hold onto your boards, because Wednesday the 9th of September is the real standout of the whole outlook. The morning session is already looking excellent with a 5ft swell from the WSW and a clean offshore breeze from the NE at 9 mph. But the afternoon? That’s the one. Swell bumps up to 8ft, period stretches to 18 seconds, and the wind goes glassy offshore from the east at just 3 mph. The combined energy is a massive 3234 (strong). This is a world-class window for Singleton – clean, powerful, and lined up. The 8ft size is expert territory, but the conditions will be perfect. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.

Thursday the 10th of September is also a cracker. The swell holds at 8ft with a 18-second period, and the wind is a clean cross-off from the north in the morning. The energy is off the charts at 3969, but the onshore wind in the afternoon will chop it up. Still, the morning session is a solid option for the brave.

After that, it fades out through Friday and Saturday the 12th, with strong onshore winds and dropping quality. The second week’s promise is real, but it’s a long-range call, so stay tuned.

Rusty.
