Singleton Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the outlook for Singleton.

We’ve got a bit of a slow start, then a couple of absolute standouts that’ll get the heart pumping. The water’s sitting at a pretty standard 66°F for this time of year, nothing unusual there.

The first few days are pretty average. Monday afternoon sees a 6ft swell from the WSW with a 13-second period, but conditions are just marginal – a bit of a nothing session. Tuesday is a write-off with strong cross-shore winds, and while Wednesday morning pumps out a solid 12ft groundswell from the west with a 19-second period, that’s just too much juice for this spot, creating powerful, unruly waves only for the brave and experienced. The energy is massive at 7822 (moderate to strong). The rest of that week stays messy with strong winds and lumpy conditions.

The first real standout is Saturday morning, August 29th. The swell drops right down to a tidy 3ft from the west with a very long 19-second period. The wind flicks to a light cross-offshore and it goes glassy clean. The energy is there at 997 (moderate). It might not be huge, but those long-period lines will peel beautifully at the point. This is the one to circle for the more mellow crew looking for clean lines without the crowds.

Then, hold onto your board for Sunday morning, August 30th. The swell bumps up to 8ft from the WSW with a 17-second period and clean cross-offshore winds. The energy is strong at 3022 (strong). This is proper groundswell, perfect for the reef setup, offering good shape and manageable power for experienced surfers. This is your absolute standout of the whole outlook. Expect some crowd factor as this is a quality day.

The following week still has some promise, mainly for the experienced lot. Monday morning, August 31st offers a 6ft swell with glassy conditions and clean lines – a good follow-up session. The long-range stuff into the first week of September shows a smaller, cleaner window on Wednesday morning, September 2nd with 5ft swell and gentle offshore winds, but the real highlight for the second week is Saturday morning, September 5th with an 8ft swell and clean cross-offshore winds. It’s a bit more size and power, but definitely one to keep an eye on. Remember, this far out, some promise might not deliver – it’s a developing picture.

Overall, don’t bother until that Saturday 29th. The real treasure is that Sunday 30th – get in the water early.

Rusty.
