Adventure Kid Waveforms:

Adventure Kid has a huge library of open source single cycle waveforms. Surge has trouble with these waveforms in their default size (600 samples).

Here is a download to .wt format wavetables made from the Adventure Kid single cycles:

KEEP IN MIND:
These single cycle waveforms were not intended to all be smooshed into one wavetable, and might not sound great together always. You may have better luck using Control/Command+drag to snap Morph to single frames. Try thinking of them as a bank of single cycle waveforms, rather than wavetables to be warped through with modulation.

AKWF-WAV-2048 (full quality)
AKWF-WT-512.zip (small file size medium quality)

Surge Synth Team also provides a few versions of the Adventure Kid single cycles library converted to power of 2 sample length files. These aren't wavetables, but you can use them to make your own wavetables!

AKWF-64.zip (downscaled lo-fi)
AKWF-512.zip (downscaled)
AKWF-1024.zip (upscaled)

BassTables from AJ Young:

A collection of 73 Serum format wavetables with gritty and vocal-like textures. They are mainly made for dubstep and aggressive EDM, but with creativity can be used in any genre.
Unzip and place in your user data dolder:

BassTables Vol. 1
BassTables Vol. 2

Emu VSCO (high quality version):

These are wavetables made by The Emu in Serum that use open source orchestral samples from the VSCO community library. Smaller filesize versions of these wavetables are bundled in the Surge installer.

Smaller versions will exhibit harmonic aliasing a fair amount at lower pitches, so download these larger versions if you'd like to eliminate that.

Unzip and place in your user data folder:

Emu-tables-2048.zip

Psiome Send Sound album

Psiome Send Sound (aesound@i.ua) used the AJ Young BassTables to create a set of patches for an album, which he chose to share.

Thanks to Psiome Send Sound for sharing his great album with us!

Content at KvR

At the Surge KvR page there is a collection of user provided banks and patches and some collections of wavetables and soundware. These patches have, by and large, not been tested by the Surge Synth Team.
