The Lowdown
Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the outlook for Singleton.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, then a couple of absolute standouts that’ll get the heart pumping. The water’s sitting at a pretty standard 66°F for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
The first few days are pretty average. Monday afternoon sees a 6ft swell from the WSW with a 13-second period, but conditions are just marginal – a bit of a nothing session. Tuesday is a write-off with strong cross-shore winds, and while Wednesday morning pumps out a solid 12ft groundswell from the west with a 19-second period, that’s just too much juice for this spot, creating powerful, unruly waves only for the brave and experienced. The energy is massive at 7822 (moderate to strong). The rest of that week stays messy with strong winds and lumpy conditions.
The first real standout is Saturday morning, August 29th. The swell drops right down to a tidy 3ft from the west with a very long 19-second period. The wind flicks to a light cross-offshore and it goes glassy clean. The energy is there at 997 (moderate). It might not be huge, but those long-period lines will peel beautifully at the point. This is the one to circle for the more mellow crew looking for clean lines without the crowds.
Then, hold onto your board for Sunday morning, August 30th. The swell bumps up to 8ft from the WSW with a 17-second period and clean cross-offshore winds. The energy is strong at 3022 (strong). This is proper groundswell, perfect for the reef setup, offering good shape and manageable power for experienced surfers. This is your absolute standout of the whole outlook. Expect some crowd factor as this is a quality day.
The following week still has some promise, mainly for the experienced lot. Monday morning, August 31st offers a 6ft swell with glassy conditions and clean lines – a good follow-up session. The long-range stuff into the first week of September shows a smaller, cleaner window on Wednesday morning, September 2nd with 5ft swell and gentle offshore winds, but the real highlight for the second week is Saturday morning, September 5th with an 8ft swell and clean cross-offshore winds. It’s a bit more size and power, but definitely one to keep an eye on. Remember, this far out, some promise might not deliver – it’s a developing picture.
Overall, don’t bother until that Saturday 29th. The real treasure is that Sunday 30th – get in the water early.
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.
