The Lowdown
Howdy, Rusty here. Singleton’s forecast is a bit of a mixed bag, with plenty of size but not always clean. The first week is dominated by a strong, long-period WSW groundswell that’ll have plenty of weight, but the wind and size make it a challenge. The water temp is about normal for the season.
Kicking off Tuesday, September 1st, we’ve got a clear morning with a light south cross-shore wind and 6ft of WSW swell on a 16-second period. The energy reading is (1718), so it’s pumping, but the report says it’s marginal due to tide. That afternoon gets cross-onshore and choppy. Wednesday the 2nd is a wash with onshore winds and 7–7ft of lumpy swell. Thursday the 3rd stays cross-onshore, and by Friday the 4th we’re looking at 10ft in the morning and a huge 12ft in the afternoon—over 8ft, so experts-only. Energy spikes to 6305, and the call says the swell is too big for the break. Saturday the 5th is a disaster with near-gale winds and 15ft of slop. Don’t bother.
Sunday, September 6th, the glassy morning has 10ft of WSW swell at 13 seconds, and it’s good for experienced surfers—that’s the first standout for the brave. Monday the 7th is another glassy dawn with 8ft of swell at a very long 17 seconds (3965). For a seasoned charger, this is the best big-wave window, but that period will make it wall up and race. Tuesday the 8th has another glassy start with 8ft at 16 seconds, still big.
Wednesday the 9th sees cleaner, smaller 7ft swell with offshore wind and a crazy 21-second period—long waits between sets. Then from Thursday the 10th to Sunday the 13th it’s mostly lumpy and messy with 7–12ft of cross-onshore junk.
Monday the 14th is small—5ft with light cross-onshore breeze and a 12-second period (645). Not worth it.
Now for the real gem: Tuesday, September 15th, morning is glassy, 5ft of WSW swell at 14 seconds, and the report says “expect very good surf conditions.” Energy is 879, so it’s a clean, manageable size. This is the standout for the average surfer—consistent, clean, and fun. Wednesday the 16th also has a 5ft morning with cross-shore wind, but it’s just marginal.
Bottom line: for the big-wave crew, hit the glassy days on September 6th and 7th. For everyone else, Tuesday the 15th morning is the cleanest, best-shaped swell in the whole run. Get out there.
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.
