The Lowdown
Alright, let me tell you what's cooking for Singleton over the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a wild ride, so settle in.
Right off the bat, we've got some serious size rolling in, but it's not for everyone. Wednesday the 26th is seeing a massive 10ft to 12ft W groundswell with a long 18 to 19-second period. The combined energy is absolutely pumping, hitting 7362 and 7158. That's a whole lot of water moving. The wind is light and cross-off, so the surface will be clean, but mate, this is too big for most. It's for the experienced crew only. Water temp is sitting at 65°, right on the money for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
Then we hit a bit of a rough patch. Thursday the 27th is a write-off with strong cross-shore winds hitting 25 mph, creating messy, choppy conditions. That carries through Friday and Saturday with smaller, marginal surf. It’s not looking great until Sunday the 30th.
Sunday morning the 30th is where it starts to get interesting again. We've got a clean 7ft WSW groundswell with a long 18-second period. The energy is solid at 2611, and with light NNE winds, it's going to be clean and lined up. This is a good one for experienced surfers looking for a proper session. The afternoon gets glassy with an offshore 3 mph breeze, but the swell drops a bit to 7ft.
The start of the week looks marginal again, with messy winds and onshore slop. But hold on, because Thursday the 10th of September is the absolute standout. We're looking at an 8ft WSW groundswell with a 19-second period and a clean, gentle offshore breeze from the east. The combined energy is a massive 6321, and the conditions are described as exceptional for experts. This is it, the one to circle on the calendar. Size is pushing 8ft, so it’s expert territory, but if you've got the skills, this will be the session of the trip.
So, to sum it up: the mid-week is too big and ugly, the weekend is ok, but the real gold is waiting for you on Thursday the 10th. Keep an eye on it.

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.
