Singleton Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s look at this stretch. It’s Singleton and it’s going to be a long wait for anything good. The first few days are a write-off with a massive 13ft swell on Saturday the 18th but coupled with onshore wind and poor conditions—that’s more of a washing machine than a surf session. Keep the board in the car.

The real action kicks off on Sunday the 19th. Sunday morning is the standout. You’ve got a clean 8ft swell from the WSW, and the wind is glassy—dead calm. That’s a rare gift. The combined energy is a massive 2160 (strong), so there’s plenty of push. This is excellent for experienced surfers only, as anything over 8ft is expert territory, and at 8ft it’s right on the edge for beginners. For the crew that knows what they’re doing, this is your window. The water temperature is sitting at 65°F, which is a touch cooler than average for the time of year but nothing too wild.

Monday the 20th morning still looks tidy. Swell drops to a more manageable 5ft from the WSW, with clean conditions and a cross-off breeze. Combined energy is moderate at 757. It’s a good, solid option but not quite the same quality as Sunday morning.

There’s a bit of a dry spell through the middle of the week—Tuesday the 21st and Wednesday the 22nd have some surf, but the winds get messy and the conditions are poor. Not worth paddling out for.

Then we get another proper highlight on Sunday the 26th. Both the morning and afternoon sessions are excellent for experienced surfers. Swell is 5ft to 7ft from the WSW, with a very long period of 17 to 18 seconds. That’s groundswell, pure and simple. The combined energy is through the roof—2083 and 2842—so there’s plenty of grunt. Winds are light and cross-off, keeping things clean. This is your second big call in the outlook. Long period swells like this can make beach breaks a bit too straight, but at Singleton it’s exposed, so it should still offer up some lines.

Monday the 27th morning also looks promising with a clean 6ft WSW swell and offshore wind from the ENE. That’s a classic combo.

The very end of the window, Sunday the 2nd of August morning, has a small 4ft swell with clean conditions and offshore wind. It’s more of a fun-size day for a longboard or a fish.

So to wrap it up—Sunday the 19th morning is the absolute best on offer for the whole forecast: glassy, solid swell, and plenty of energy. The next standout is Sunday the 26th, with that long-period groundswell and clean winds. The rest is either too small, too windy, or just average. If you can only pick two sessions, those are the ones.
