The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the cards for Singleton over the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a solid run of surf coming through, but it’s not all clean windows. The first real standout is a beauty of a Saturday morning on the 22nd of August. Glassy conditions, calm as a sleeping baby, with a solid 7ft WSW groundswell. The period is a long 16 seconds, so this is proper groundswell energy. This is a big wave setup though – at 7ft with that much push, it’s really for the experienced crew only. The combined energy is a hefty 2068, so you’ll feel the power. It’s a bit of a wildcard too because such a long period at a beach break can make it close out a bit straight, but when it’s this clean, it’s worth the paddle.
The weather then turns a bit ugly for the rest of the weekend. Sunday the 23rd is a write-off with cross-onshore winds and messy conditions, and the swell drops to 4ft in the morning. It’s just not worth a paddle.
But hold on, because Monday the 24th of August is the absolute pick of the bunch for the first week. The morning is glassy again, with a clean 7ft west-southwest swell. The combined energy is 1570, and with a 14-second period, it’s got proper shape. Wave comment says it’s excellent for experienced surfers, and I’m backing that. This is the session to schedule around. The afternoon stays glassy with a 6ft swell, so you could surf all day if you’ve got the fitness.
Tuesday the 25th gets dicey with a strong cross-shore wind making for a chop. The swell is still there but the quality is marginal. Wednesday the 26th is a no-go – the wind is howling at 19 mph from the southwest, and the swell jumps to 12ft. That’s only for the brave (or foolish). The energy is through the roof at 9728, but the wind is just ruining it.
We get a bit of a reprieve on Thursday the 27th, with a 8ft swell and a gentler cross-shore in the morning. It’s still a bit raw for the average punter, but the experienced crew might score a few if they can handle the size. The energy is 3265, so it’s a serious ocean.
Now, looking ahead to the second week, the highlight is Monday the 31st of August. The morning is clean, with a 7ft west swell and a very long 18-second period. The combined energy is 2498, and the wave comment says excellent for experienced surfers. This is a big, powerful, grunty swell. It’ll be perfect for a point or reef, but at a beach break it might be a bit too straight. Still, a standout session for the bold.
The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so don’t expect any surprises.
A bit further down the line, we’ve got a promising Thursday morning on the 3rd of September. Glassy conditions again, with a 7ft WSW swell at 13 seconds. The energy is 1339, so it’s a solid, clean wave. It’s not the biggest, but the glass makes it look like a fun, rippable day.
The rest of the second week is a bit of a mixed bag with wind and chop, but there’s enough swell to keep the stoke alive if you’re patient. The crowds at Singleton can be an issue sometimes, so get out early for the clean ones.
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.
