The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's be real about the next couple of weeks. The ocean’s got some grunt in it, but it’s gonna be a game of patience and picking your moments. We're looking at a solid stretch of westerly groundswell, but the wind is gonna be the main character in this story, and honestly, it's not always gonna be on our side. There are some windows of pure magic if you're willing to wait for 'em.
The stretch starts off with a bit of a tease. Friday morning, July 31st, there’s some clean but marginal surf on the cards at Singleton (South Coast). We're looking at 6ft of swell from the WSW with a long 16-second period, but the energy is only moderate at 1464 and the conditions are just... okay. A bit of a cross-offshore breeze, but the water is a touch colder than normal for this time of year, running at 64°F. It’s not the day to be picky after a flat spell, but it's not a standout either. The afternoon turns to absolute mush with a cross-on breeze, so don't plan for a sunset session.
The weekend is a write-off for quality. Saturday, August 1st, sees the swell bump up to 8ft, but it's crossed up and choppy. Not worth the paddle. Sunday morning, August 2nd, is better with a solid 7ft from the WSW and a clean offshore breeze, but it's still only fair. The real gem is Sunday afternoon, though. The wind drops to glass, the swell holds at 6ft, and the conditions are clean. It's still on the bigger side for beginners, but for the rest of us, that's a proper wave. Period drops a bit to 13 seconds, but a glassy 6ft wave is a gift.
Monday, August 3rd, is another meh day. Surf drops to 5ft and the wind is cross-onshore. Skip it. But hold onto your boards, because Tuesday morning, August 4th, is the first real standout. The swell jumps to 8ft of pure WSW groundswell with a very long 18-second period. The energy is strong at 3629, and it’s glassy. This is the kind of morning you call in sick for. The period is long, which will make it line up really nicely, but that long period can also mean it might close out a bit at a beach break. Still, 8ft and glassy? I'm in.
Wednesday, August 5th, keeps the quality going with a clean 8ft morning and a light cross-offshore breeze. Another great day. The afternoon, however, the swell jumps to a heavy 10ft and pushes past the "fun" mark. That's expert-only territory. Thursday, August 6th, gets blown out by a fresh cross-onshore breeze, and the swell is still big. It's a mess. Friday, August 7th, the swell is still a solid 10ft, and while the wind is light, it's onshore. The conditions are just too big and not clean enough.
Then the ocean just decides to flex. From Saturday, August 8th, through the middle of the following week, it's just storm surf. We're talking 13ft to 18ft of wind-blown, cross-onshore chaos, with a near-gale to fresh breeze. This is not surfable, it's just noise. The energy readings are off the charts (8808, 17679, 12791) but it's all just raw power with no shape. If you're into kitesurfing, this might look interesting, but for a surfboard, it's a full stop.
This big swelly, messy period lasts for nearly a week. Things finally start to back off around Thursday, August 13th, but the wind is still a messy cross-onshore. The swell drops to 6ft but it’s lumpy and chopped up. The final days of the forecast, into August 15th, are still not offering anything clean. There's swell, but the wind isn’t giving us a break. Honestly, the standout windows are those two mornings on the 4th and 5th, and maybe that glassy Sunday afternoon. Get on 'em if you can. The longer-range stuff from the second week is promising in size, but it's too far out to trust, and the wind forecast is shithouse. Keep your fingers crossed for a shift.
So there you have it. A couple of real special windows sandwiched between a whole lot of nothing or way-too-much. Be smart, be patient, and be ready to move when the ocean gives us a chance.
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.
