Singleton Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here.

Let’s talk about Singleton. The core of the action is a solid run of WSW groundswell, but you gotta pick your moments. The water is sitting at 63.5°F right now, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year, so don't forget the rubber.

First up, the tail end of July. Thursday morning (30th July) sees a clean 3.6ft wave under a light cross-off breeze. It’s not huge, but it’s rideable and clean. The energy is building, hitting 633 (moderate), and the swell’s got some long-period grunt at 16 seconds. It’s a marginal call due to tide, but a possible sneaky session.

Heads up for Sunday the 2nd of August. That’s the standout for the near term. The swell is a solid 6.9ft from the WSW, but the wind... magic. Sunday morning is a clean offshore breeze, and Sunday afternoon goes glassy, dead calm. The wave energy is pumping (1628 - 1230), but at this size, it's definitely for the experienced crew. It’ll be a rippable, clean wall, but the crowds could be a factor as it’s an exposed spot and the conditions are prime.

We hit a bit of a lull through Monday the 3rd, with the swell dropping to 4.6ft and cross-onshore winds chopping things up. Not worth getting wet for.

Now, look ahead. Tuesday the 4th of August is a gem on the charts, but we’re a week out. The morning is looking at a 8.2ft, 18-second groundswell with glassy conditions and a massive 3927 combined energy. This is proper, powerful, very long-period swell. It’ll be breaking a bit straight at the beach, so you’ll want to be looking for a bank that handles the juice. This is big (over 8ft), strictly for experts only, but if you’ve got the skills, that Tuesday dawn patrol is where it’s at.

Wednesday the 5th also looks excellent for experienced surfers. Another 8.2ft swell with a clean, cross-off breeze and 3456 energy. The quality remains high for the big-wave guys.

After that, the wheels fall off. A huge, wind-whipped swell arrives around the 7th and 8th of August. We’re talking 11.5ft to 13ft of messy, onshore slop with gale-force winds. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Just a brutal, blown-out mess with massive energy (7882) but zero quality.

It cleans up again by Monday the 10th of August. The wind swings offshore again, and we get another 8.2ft swell. A nice, clean, powerful option for the experienced punter.

And the long-range look? The 14th of August (Friday) shows potential again with a glassy 7.5ft swell. That’s a nice way to end the window, but it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it. Between the 11th and 13th, the wind is just too strong for anything good.

Summary: If you want a session this week, Sunday the 2nd of August is your best bet – glassy, solid, but for experts only. The real standout is the Tuesday/Wednesday combo on the 4th and 5th of August – big, powerful, and clean, but you need to be on your game. The middle of the second week is a write-off.
