Singapore may not be on the map of global surfing destinations, but that didn鈥檛 stop some enthusiastic souls from hitting the waves this gloomy monsoon season.

Though the meter-or-so waves were not enough to perform water barrel stunts, they were enough for some brief breaking and a good chance for children to give it a try. The surfers told reporters they have been camping there every afternoon since Sunday in hope the waves would swell to meet their dried-up boards.
Singapore is forecast to see through the rest of monsoon season, with thunderstorms hitting most areas daily. Highs through next week will be pegged at 30C, with lows of 24C.
