Singleton Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening at Singleton.

We’ve got a solid run of surf coming, but it’s not for the faint of heart. The pattern kicks off with some building swell, but the real standout is a big, powerful pulse that’s definitely for experienced surfers only. The early part of the window is a bit sketchy, but patience pays off.

It starts off slow on Saturday, July 11th. The morning has a 4ft WSW swell with a 13-second period, but the wind is cross and it’s just not coming together. The afternoon gets worse – a 6ft swell with a strong cross-onshore wind, so don’t bother.

Sunday, July 12th is where it gets interesting. The morning brings a cleaner 6ft WSW swell, now with a 15-second period and light cross-offshore winds. The wave energy is getting strong (1945), and the conditions are clean. This is when things start to look good for the more experienced crew.

Monday, July 13th morning is the first real highlight. We’re looking at a 7ft WSW swell, a 17-second period – that’s a real groundswell – and clean conditions with light cross-offshore winds. The energy is pumping (2655). This is powerful, lined-up swell, and it’s going to be a treat for the lads who know what they’re doing. The super long period might make it a bit straight at the beach, but if the banks are right, it’ll be epic.

Tuesday, July 14th morning is another cracker. A 7ft WSW swell, 15-second period, and glassy offshore winds from the ENE. That’s about as clean as it gets. The energy is still strong (1805). This is probably the best balance of size and conditions for the week.

The rest of the first week isn’t as clean, with a lot of wind issues. Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th have size but the wind is up, making it messy. Friday the 17th is a write-off with strong onshore winds and a short, messy swell.

The second week starts with a big but wild system. Saturday, July 18th is a no-go – we’re talking 13ft to 15ft swell with a near gale onshore. That’s a survival mission, not a surf session.

Then, on Sunday, July 19th, the setup gets interesting. The morning is glassy with a 10ft WSW swell and a 14-second period. The energy is huge (3324), but the file says it might be too big for this break. That’s a call only you can make – if you’re a big-wave charger, this could be a go.

Monday, July 20th morning is a nice comedown. Glassy conditions with a 5ft WSW swell. It’s not huge, but it’s clean and fun. The energy is moderate (686).

After that, it tails off quickly. The rest of the week into July 26th sees smaller swells, a lot of lumpy cross-shore wind, and generally poor conditions. There’s a small, clean 2ft swell on the morning of the 26th, but it’s low energy.

So, if you’re looking for the best of the bunch, mark your calendar for Monday, July 13th morning and Tuesday, July 14th morning. That’s the sweet spot: big, clean groundswell with favorable winds. For the brave, the glassy morning of July 19th could be a wildcard.

Stay safe out there.
