The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Singleton has on offer for the next couple of weeks.
We’re looking at a spot that’s exposed to a WSW swell, and right out of the gate, things are pretty average. The first couple of days are a write-off with lumpy, cross-shore winds and messy conditions. The swell builds through Wednesday and Thursday, getting big – over 8 ft – but those strong, cross winds will have it choppy and a bit of a battle. Not the kind of day you want to paddle out unless you’re an expert looking for a challenge; definitely too big for beginners. The combined swell energy hits strong levels, peaking at a very powerful 7425 (kW/m) on Wednesday morning, but the conditions just aren't friendly for a good session. Nothing worth rushing out for yet.
There’s a period of smaller swell and cleaner conditions over the weekend and into the start of the next week, but the swell drops off and the wind shifts cross-off or onshore. It’s decent enough on Saturday with a clean 6 ft from the WSW, but the energy is only moderate (1906). A bit of a gap follows until we get a proper standout.
Now, the real standout here is Sunday, 30th August morning. The wind swings light offshore from the NNE, setting up clean lines. The swell is a solid 7 ft from the WSW with a long 16-second period, giving it good power and shape at this exposed break. The combined swell energy is a solid 1962, and the water temp is 66°F, right about average for this time of year. This is the pick of the first week – for experienced surfers only, as the 7 ft will be pushing it for beginners.
Keep an eye on Monday, 6th September morning. This is another promising session, closer to 5 ft from the WSW. The wind is offshore from the ENE, and conditions are clean and glassy. It’s a bit smaller, but the quality looks excellent for an intermediate session. The swell period is a moderate 13 seconds.
Then, a week and a half out, on Tuesday, 8th September morning, we’ve got another one for the experienced crew. An 8 ft WSW swell hits, with a clean 16-second period and gentle offshore winds from the ENE. The energy is strong, reading 3177. This is a solid swell, well-shaped and clean, but it's expert territory. The long period between sets will make paddling out a bit easier, but that wave size is no joke. It’s a promising call at this range, but a few weeks out, so don't book your flights just yet.
All in all, there’s a decent run of surf at Singleton starting from the 30th, but the real highlights are that Sunday morning and that first week of September. The middle of the week (2nd-5th) is mostly marginal with onshore winds, but the windows of clean swell are genuine.

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.
