The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Singleton over the next couple of weeks.
The first few days are a write-off for anyone who isn’t an absolute beast in the water. We’ve got a massive pulse of long-period groundswell from the WSW, but it’s way too big, with 10ft to 12ft sets and a combined energy reading of 6139 (very strong). The water temp is 64°, which is about average for the time of year. That big swell is just too much for this exposed setup, so we have to sit tight.
The real action kicks off on Wednesday, 12 August at dawn. The wind goes glassy with a light N breeze blowing at 9 km/h, and the swell from the WSW drops to a much more manageable 7ft. The period is a long 15 seconds, and the combined energy is a solid 1966 (moderate). This is proper groundswell, so the waves will have good shape and plenty of push, but it's still over 7ft, so this is expert territory only. The morning session will be clean and lined up.
Keep an eye on Thursday, 13 August morning too – another glassy morning with a NNE wind at 5 km/h, same 7ft WSW swell, but the period pushes up to a very long 17 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 2629 (moderate). That very long period will mean long waits between sets, but when they come, they’ll be powerful and solid.
Friday, 14 August morning is another standout. The wind goes offshore from the NE at 6 mph, with 7ft swell from the WSW at 16 seconds. Combined energy is 2198 (moderate). This is a sweet, clean window for experienced surfers who know the break.
Sunday, 16 August afternoon – look here. The wind swings offshore from the NE at 9 mph, the swell is 7ft from the WSW at 14 seconds, and the combined energy is 1928 (moderate). Good, clean lines with offshore texture.
The second week gets a bit jumbled with strong winds and lumpy conditions, but there’s a later window to watch. Thursday, 20 August morning offers a clean 8ft swell from the W at 15 seconds with a light SE cross-off breeze (6 mph), combined energy 3093 (strong). That’s a good, powerful wave for experts, but it’s a long way out so don’t lock it in yet.
Friday, 21 August has a solid run of offshore winds – morning shows 6ft from the WSW at 13 seconds with ENE wind at 9 mph, and the afternoon bumps up to 8ft with a stronger NE offshore at 12 mph. Both are clean. Crowds are listed as “sometimes” at Singleton, so you might get a few others out, but nothing crazy.
Sunday, 23 August has some juicy long-period energy – 7ft to 8ft from the WSW at a very long 19 seconds, but the wind is cross-shore, so it won’t be glassy. The combined energy is pushing 4532 (very strong) in the afternoon. That’s a lot of power, but the texture will stop it from being a true classic.
Other days are mostly blown out by cross-onshore wind or rain. The 22nd and 24th onward get messy with strong to gale-force winds.
Best of the bunch: If I had to pick one, it’s Wednesday, 12 August morning – glassy, clean, 7ft groundswell with that long 15-second period. For a later call, Friday, 14 August morning with offshore winds is a very close second. Both are expert-only due to size. No beginners out there this week – the swell stays over 5ft for most of the good windows.
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.
