The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
Singleton's got a solid stretch of clean, surfable days starting Thursday, July 23rd, running through the end of the month, with a few rough patches to steer clear of, especially deeper into the second week.
Things kick off Thursday morning the 23rd with a 5ft swell from the WSW, a 14-second period, and offshore winds from the ENE at 12 mph. The water’s clean, the energy is moderate (943), and it's shaping up to be a very good session. That long period gives the waves some punch, but at a beach break, it can make them a little walled – keep that in mind. Thursday afternoon drops to 4ft, still clean with lighter easterly offshores at 6 mph. Still very good.
Friday the 24th is smaller – 3ft in the morning, 3ft in the afternoon – but the afternoon goes glassy with no wind from the NW. That’s about as perfect as it gets for a small-wave day. The energy is lower (303), but you won’t find cleaner conditions anywhere.
Saturday the 25th holds steady at 4ft but it’s a mixed bag. Morning is clean with cross-off winds, but there’s a slight question mark on the conditions. The afternoon turns a bit bumpier with a cross-shore. Still surfable, but not the pick.
Sunday the 26th is for experienced surfers only. The swell jumps to 8ft with strong onshore winds from the WSW at 22 mph in the morning, making for poor conditions. The energy is high (1371), but the quality is low. The afternoon is a bit better with a cross-off, but it’s still a big, lumpy 8ft.
Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th offer solid 6ft to 7ft swells with clean cross-off winds. Tuesday afternoon is the standout of this stretch: 5ft swell, 14 seconds, gentle offshore from the NE at 9 mph, and the conditions are marked as excellent for experienced surfers. Combined energy is moderate to high (1103). That’s the one.
Wednesday the 29th drops a touch – 4ft morning, 4ft afternoon – but the period stretches to a very long 17 seconds. That’s proper groundswell, but again, at a beach break, it can run a little straight. Expect longer lulls between sets.
Thursday the 30th is a wild card: 2ft in the morning with a 20-second period from the W. That’s an incredibly long period. The afternoon bumps to 4ft with an 18-second period and excellent conditions. Combined energy is moderate (1039). If the banks are right, this could be a sneaky day, but that period is better suited for a point or reef.
Friday the 31st jumps back up to 8ft, 16 seconds, clean cross-off winds in the morning. That’s big – experts only. The energy is strong (2766). The afternoon stays big (7ft) but gets a little bumpy.
Saturday the 1st of August: morning is 8ft, 14 seconds, clean cross-off, with very high energy (4168). The afternoon hits 10ft with cross-shore winds, and the conditions are considered too big for this break. That’s a pass for paddling – more of a spectator day.
From Sunday the 2nd onward, it gets messy. Strong onshore winds and lumpy conditions take over. The swell hangs around 6ft to 7ft for a few days but the wind is junk. The 5th and 6th of August offer cleaner cross-off mornings with 7ft groundswell, but the energy is strong and the winds are moderate. Thursday the 6th afternoon turns lumpy again, and by Friday the 7th, it’s 12ft with onshore winds – a total mess. Not worth it.
The standout windows: Thursday the 23rd and Tuesday the 28th afternoon. Thursday the 23rd has the best mix of size and cleanliness early on, while Tuesday the 28th afternoon is the real gem – clean, offshore, great energy. For a relaxed session, Friday the 24th afternoon with glassy conditions and small waves is a classic.
Water temperature data isn’t provided here, so I can’t speak to that.
Bottom line: get on it early and stay on it through the 28th. The second week is more hit or miss, with a few potentially clean mornings on the 5th and 6th, but less reliable.
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.
