Singleton Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' at Singleton. This is an exposed beach break that gets its best mojo from a solid WSW groundswell. Don't expect much action around here for beginners when it gets over 5 ft, and above 8 ft, it's strictly for the crew with the reflexes.

The water temp is sittin' at 66°F, which is pretty much what you'd expect for mid-July, no surprises there.

Okay, the first decent window kicks off Sunday the 13th of July in the morning. We've got a meaty 7 ft groundswell pumping in from the WSW with a juicy 17-second period. The combined energy is a solid 2687, so you'll feel the power. The wind is a light ESE cross-off, so the face will be clean. This is for the experienced surfers only due to the size, but it's a standout. Monday afternoon gets a bit more onshore and choppy, so I'd make the call for the morning session.

Tuesday the 14th is a treat. All day, we have a gentle NE offshore wind cleaning up a 6 ft to 6 ft WSW swell with a 15-second period. Energy is still well into the moderate range at 1553 and 1330. It's still a touch big for beginners, but the quality is there. These two days are the pick of the first week.

The week of the 21st of July shapes up with some potential. Tuesday the 21st morning has a light SE cross-off breeze cleaning up a 6 ft swell. It's a smaller energy day (700), but the conditions are clean.

Then, on Wednesday the 22nd of July morning, we get another standout. A clean 7 ft swell from the WSW with a 13-second period, gettin' groomed by a light NE cross-off wind. Combined energy is 1232, a solid moderate pulse. This one's another excellent call for experienced surfers. The afternoon takes a weird turn with that 6-second period windswell, so it's a morning-only show.

Now, a word of caution. The weekend of the 18th of July brings some serious, dangerous surf. Saturday the 18th is pumping 15 ft waves with a massive combined energy of 12856, but it's being mashed by a near-gale onshore wind. That's not surf for anyone; it's more of a "watch from the car park" or a kite-surfing kind of day if you're crazy enough. The Sunday after is still way too big at 10 ft, wind on it, and the same goes for the 23rd of July when another huge 12 ft swell with 5440 energy shows up.

Later on, the 27th of July morning is a nice little capper to the run—a 3 ft clean swell with a long 16-second period. It's small and clean with light wind, a perfect little wind-down session.

So, to sum it up: the absolute standout is Monday morning the 13th and the full day Tuesday the 14th. The second week's best looks like the clean morning on Wednesday the 22nd of July. There's a big gap of dangerous, blown-out surf between those windows, but when it's on, Singleton delivers.

Rusty.
