Singleton Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what's comin' our way over the next couple of weeks. We've got one spot on the menu, and it's a bit of a slow burner, but there are some real gems to lock in.

Alright, we're starting off on Thursday, July 30th, with a bit of a tease. Singleton's already showing some life, a clean 4ft groundswell out of the WSW with a nice 14-second period pushing through. The combined energy is a solid moderate 845, and with a light N breeze keeping it cross-off, the surface is gonna be clean. It's a bit small, but it's a start.

Now, things start to build into the end of the month. Friday the 31st brings a bigger 6ft swell, but that N wind stiffens up to 12 mph, making it a bit of a battle. Still clean enough, but the real magic starts to line up for the weekend.

The standout session, the one you don't want to miss, is the morning of Sunday, August 2nd. We're looking at a solid 7ft swell from the WSW, and it's got a nice 14-second period behind it. The energy is kicking at 1628, well into the moderate range. But the kicker is the wind: a light, 9 mph offshore breeze from the NE. That is going to groom those lines perfectly. For the experienced crew, this is as good as it gets in this window. The afternoon goes even cleaner with a glassy 6ft set, but that morning window is the one.

The swell doesn't let up, but the wind does get a little tricky mid-week. However, I've got my eye on Wednesday, August 5th. The entire day is looking exceptional. Both the morning and afternoon sessions show a chunky 8ft swell out of the WSW, with a period holding at 16 seconds. The energy is cranking, sitting around 3458 and 3668, which is a strong, powerful signal. The wind? Glass. Absolutely dead calm both sessions. This is one of those long-period groundswell days where Singleton will really pulse. The sets will be clean, lined-up, and all you'll hear is the hiss of the wave.

Things get a bit rowdy from August 7th with some strong onshores and building, messy swell. There's a huge spike of energy mid-August, but the conditions are blown out or the swell is simply too big and too onshore to be any good for a paddle. That week from the 7th to the 13th is mostly a write-off, but for the experienced surfer, that stretch from the 4th to the 6th holds the key.

The water temp is sitting at a bit of a chillier 64°F, which is 2° cooler than we'd normally expect for this time of year at Singleton, so you might want a slightly thicker suit.

So, to sum it up: the best windows are Sunday the 2nd and Wednesday the 5th of August. The Sunday dawn patrol with that offshore breeze, and the all-day glass-fest on the 5th. Lock those in.

Rusty.
