The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next week and a half at Singleton is going to test your patience. We’ve got a long stretch of onshore and cross-shore winds, lumpy conditions, and a constant run of marginal surf that’s more about getting wet than getting barreled. The water’s sitting at 64°, which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real chance to even think about a decent wave doesn’t come until Wednesday the 9th. The swell’s still pushing 7ft from the WSW with a 15-second period, and the wind swings offshore from the east at just 10 km/h. That’s clean, proper surf, but the scores are still only moderate — it’s the best we’ve seen, but it’s not pumping. The energy’s sitting around 1925, which is moderate, and the break is fairly consistent, so there will be waves, but you’ll have to work for the good ones.
The next few days after that drop off. Thursday the 10th sees the swell fade to 4ft, and while it stays clean, it’s small and weak. Friday the 11th is even smaller — 4ft — and the wind gets messy, so don’t get your hopes up.
Then we hit the rough patch. Saturday the 12th turns ugly with a strong cross-onshore breeze at 45 km/h and a 8ft swell that’s going to be a washing machine. That’s a write-off. Sunday and Monday the 13th and 14th are still onshore and messy, with the swell bouncing between 6ft and 8ft, but the wind is lighter, so it’s not as wild. Still, it’s not good.
Now, here’s the light at the end of the tunnel. Tuesday the 15th is your standout. The wind goes offshore from the ENE at 20 km/h in the morning, dropping to a light 10 km/h from the NE by the afternoon. The swell is 7ft from the WSW with a 15-second period, and the energy is strong at 2897. It’s clean, it’s powerful, and the break is fairly consistent. This is the one to circle. Crowds are possible, so get out early. It’s not for beginners at this size, but for anyone with a bit of experience, this is the session.
After that, Wednesday the 16th is still rideable but the wind turns onshore again, so it’s mushy. Then things get serious. The swell keeps building through the end of the week, and by Friday the 18th, we’re looking at 12ft from the west with a 16-second period. That’s a lot of water, and the forecast is screaming that it’s too big for this break. Same story on Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th — 12ft to 13ft, with the energy climbing to over 11,500. That’s a monster. It’s only for experts, and even then, this setup looks more like a kitesurfing day than a paddle surf day. The wave will be closing out and the wind will be cross-onshore, so leave the board on the beach unless you’re a lunatic.
So, bottom line: if you can wait until Tuesday the 15th, you’ll get your best chance. It’s a promising but not guaranteed long-range call, so keep an eye on it. The rest is either too small, too messy, or too big.
Stay salty,
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.
