The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and let’s get stuck into the outlook for Singleton. This spot is exposed to the open ocean, and the forecast shows a lot of energy coming through, but it's a mixed bag of conditions. The water temperature is sitting about average for the time of year, so nothing unusual there.
The forecast period starts with a bit of a lull in quality. Monday and Tuesday, August 31st and September 1st, offer some swell but the wind is cross-onshore, making it choppy and the surf is marginal. The swell energy is strong, with values around 1995 and 1665, but the conditions just aren't there for a good session. Expect a bit of a wait.
Wednesday, September 2nd, is more of the same with cross-onshore winds and marginal surf. The swell holds around 6ft to 7ft from the WSW, but the wind keeps it messy.
Now, Thursday morning, September 3rd, that’s where things get interesting. The wind drops to glassy, and the swell is a solid 7ft from the WSW with a period of 14 seconds. The wave energy is pumping at 1800, and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. This is the standout window of the first week. The winds are light and offshore, promising clean, well-shaped waves. If you can get out there, this is the best bet.
The afternoon of the 3rd falls apart though, with a fresh cross-onshore wind and poor surf. Friday the 4th sees a big jump in swell to 10ft in the afternoon, but the wind is still cross-onshore, and the wave comment says it’s too big for the break. The energy is massive at 6365, but it’s a kite surfer’s dream, not a paddle surfer’s.
From Friday the 4th through to Sunday the 6th, the wind stays strong and cross-onshore, with swell sizes between 8ft and 10ft. The conditions are consistently poor, and the surf quality is off. There’s a gap in good surf for a few days here.
Monday, September 7th, shows a bit of promise again with an 8ft swell from the WSW and a long period of 16 to 17 seconds. The wind is onshore, but the energy is very strong at 3545 to 5726. The surf is marginal, but if you’re an experienced surfer, it might be worth a look.
Tuesday, September 8th, brings another big swell, 10ft with a very long period of 18 seconds, but again, it’s too big for the break. The energy is through the roof at 6163, but it’s another one for the experts only, or the kite crew.
Wednesday, September 9th, the wind swings to a cross-offshore direction in the morning, with a 7ft swell from the WSW. The conditions are clean, and the energy is still strong at 2381. This is a decent window, but the swell is a bit smaller.
Thursday, September 10th, through to Saturday, September 12th, the swell builds again, with 13ft waves on the 12th. The wind is glassy in the morning, but the swell is too big for the break. The energy is massive at 9047, and it’s definitely a specialist-only session.
The second week from September 9th onwards has some promising windows, but the swell is consistently large, often over 8ft, and the wind is cross-onshore or onshore for most of it. The best bet for a clean, manageable surf is the glassy morning of Thursday, September 3rd. After that, it’s a lot of big, windy, or too-big swell.
Rusty.

Information about the Singleton Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Singleton provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Singleton can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Singleton surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Singleton) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Singleton may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Singleton is 5 km (3 miles) from Mandurah. If you plan a holiday in Perth City Coast, look for hotels and other accommodation in Mandurah. Mandurah has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
