The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's coming down the line for Singleton.
The first few days are a write-off, mate. Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th are a mess of onshore wind and big, messy swell. We've got to sit through that rough patch, but once we get past it, the picture cleans up nicely.
The first real chance to get wet comes Sunday morning, the 19th of July. It's glassy, dead calm, and we've got an 8ft swell rolling in from the WSW. The combined energy is strong (2343), and with a 14-second period, this is proper groundswell. It's a bit hefty for beginners, but for the experienced crew, it's going to be pumping. The offshore wind is from the NNE, which is clean. The midday heat will bring a southerly onshore breeze, so get on it early.
Now, the standout window. Monday the 20th of July through to Thursday the 23rd of July is where it's at. We're looking at a consistent run of 5ft to 6ft WSW swell, with moderate energy (around 450-1100), but the winds are the real story. Mornings are glassy or with a clean cross-offshore breeze. Wednesday morning the 22nd is a beauty with 5ft at 13 seconds and a clean cross-offshore. But Thursday morning the 23rd is the absolute gem: glassy conditions, 5ft at a long 14 seconds (904 combined energy). That's a treat for the experienced surfer.
The pick of the whole run, though, is a distant one. Mark your calendars for Wednesday the 29th of July. The morning is glassy with a 5ft, 18-second groundswell (2553 combined energy). That's a very long period, which will be absolutely ripping at a point or reef, but might be a bit straight at a beach break. Then the afternoon looks like a monster. It's clean, 10ft at 16 seconds from the WSW (4324 combined energy), but the forecast says it's predicted to be too big for this break. That's expert-only territory, and it might be out of control.
The end of July and into August has some more promise. Friday the 31st of July has a solid offshore breeze from the ENE. The morning surf is 3ft at a crazy 21 seconds (1741 combined energy), and the afternoon picks up to 5ft at 19 seconds (2335 combined energy). Despite the moderate energy, the offshore wind and long period will make for some clean, lined-up waves.
After that, we taper off into the first week of August with smaller, cleaner surf. The 4ft to 6ft swell hangs around, but the combined energy drops. It's good for a longboard or a funboard, but nothing to get too excited about. The cleanest morning is Sunday the 2nd of August with a light offshore breeze.
So, overall, a slow start, but a solid week of clean, manageable surf. The true standouts are Thursday morning the 23rd for the glassy perfection, and the long-range call of Wednesday the 29th of July for the big, groundswell.
Rusty out.

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.
