The Lowdown
Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Singleton.
This stretch has a serious run of big, powerful WSW groundswell coming through, but the issue is that a lot of it is going to be flat-out too big for most surfers. The water temperature is sitting at 64°, which is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
The real standout of the whole forecast period is Sunday afternoon, August 2nd. Singleton is exposed to the WSW swell, and we’ve got a clean 6ft swell from the west-southwest with a 13-second period. The combined energy is a solid 1249 (moderate), and with a light offshore breeze from the NE, it’s going to be clean and nicely shaped. It’s a good, solid size for intermediate surfers, but the 6ft mark might be a bit much for total beginners. This is the best combination of size, period, and wind you’ll see for a while.
After that, Monday and Tuesday (August 3rd and 4th) are mostly marginal or poor – the wind swings onshore and the swell gets too big and messy. By Wednesday afternoon, August 5th, the swell pumps up to 10ft from the WSW, but the wind is cross-shore and light. The forecast notes it’s too big for the break, so unless you’re an expert, give it a miss.
The next real highlight comes on Thursday morning, August 6th. We’ve got a 8ft WSW swell, 16-second period, combined energy of 3664 (strong), and a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNW. That’s clean and powerful – excellent for experienced surfers only. The long period will make the sets bigger and more powerful, with longer gaps between them.
The following weekend, August 8th and 9th, is a mixed bag. Saturday sees a massive 12ft WSW swell – that’s huge, with 5724 energy (very strong). Wind is cross-shore, but it’s simply too big for all but the most experienced. Sunday morning, August 9th, drops to 8ft with a 15-second period, and a light cross-offshore breeze from the north. That’s another clean, experienced-surfer-only session.
Looking further out, the second week has some big numbers. Tuesday, August 11th, shows a 13ft, 20-second period swell from the WSW with offshore winds – that’s huge, long-period groundswell, and 10736 energy (very strong). It’s a monster, only for the bravest experts. The pattern of big, powerful WSW swell continues through the week, with a lot of it being too big for the break.
By Thursday, August 13th, the swell drops but the period is incredible – 22 seconds on the afternoon session. That’s a very long-period groundswell making the waves super clean and powerful. A couple of sessions around August 14th and 15th look good for experienced surfers as well, with 7-8ft clean swell.
To wrap it up, the best window for a good, clean, surfable wave is Sunday afternoon, August 2nd, for a solid 6ft. After that, wait for Thursday morning, August 6th, for the experienced crew. The rest is either too big, too windy, or just for the hardcore experts.
Rusty out.

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.
