The Lowdown
Imperial
Alright, Rusty here, breakin’ down Singleton for ya.
The water’s sittin’ at a normal 65°F for this time of year, so nothin’ strange there. The early part of the stretch is a bit slow, but the real gem is gonna be that Sunday morning, September 7th. That’s the one to keep your eyes on.
We start off a bit sluggish. Saturday the 29th of August has some knee-high swell from the WSW, about 3ft, with a real long 19-second period, but a moderate ESE cross-off breeze keeps it clean. The combined energy’s weak (824), so it’s a bit of a wait for anything to really push. It’s there, but not worth getting wet for.
Sunday the 30th of August sees the swell jump up to a solid 7ft from the WSW, the period droppin’ to 18 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate at 2611. The morning’s got a light NE cross-off breeze, so it’s clean. The crowd can be “sometimes,” so you might have a few others out. It’s a decent option, but the wind’s better on that Sunday the 7th.
Monday the 31st of August and Tuesday the 1st of September are a bit of a bust – the wind swings onshore and messes the quality up. The swell’s still there, around 6ft to 7ft, but the conditions are choppy. Not worth it.
Now, the real highlight. Sunday the 7th of September morning. The swell is a very solid 7ft from the WSW, with a 16-second period, and the combined energy is strong (2388). The wind? It’s glassy. Absolutely dead calm. For an exposed break like Singleton, glassy conditions are a rare treat. The water’s still around 65°F, normal for the season. This is the best on offer – clean, powerful, and for experienced surfers only. The crowd can be “sometimes,” so you might have a few mates there, but with that glass, it’s worth it.
The run-up to that is a bit of a wait. Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd of September have some swell, but the wind is cross-on or onshore, and the quality is marginal. Then Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th of September are a mess – strong winds, lumpy conditions, and the swell gets huge. On Saturday the 5th afternoon, we’re lookin’ at a 15ft swell from the WSW with a short 10-second period, and the combined energy is a massive 3998. That’s way too big for this spot, and the wind is onshore. It’s a kite surfer’s dream, not a paddle surfer’s.
After that Sunday the 7th standout, Monday the 8th of September starts to fade. The swell drops to 6ft, period’s still decent at 16 seconds, but the wind is a cross-off, so it’s clean. It’s a good follow-up session, but not as good as the Sunday glass.
Then we’ve got a promising window on Wednesday the 9th of September afternoon. The wind swings to a gentle offshore from the east, with a 6ft WSW swell and a 14-second period. The combined energy is moderate (1380). That’s clean, offshore, and a good size – another good one.
The real standout for the second week has to be Thursday the 10th of September morning. The swell is 8ft from the WSW, 15-second period, and the combined energy is very strong (3402). The wind is a gentle NNE cross-off, keeping it clean. This is a big, powerful, clean swell. It’s for experienced surfers only, and the crowd might be “sometimes,” but the quality is undeniable. The only caveat is that long period (15 seconds) can make beach breaks a bit straight, but Singleton is exposed, so it should be fine.
After that, the wind turns onshore again, and the swell gets huge into the 12th and 13th of September. We’re lookin’ at 11ft to 12ft with short periods and cross-on winds. That’s too big and messy for this break. The energy is extreme (over 9000), but it’s not for us.
So, to wrap it up: the best on offer is Sunday the 7th of September morning for the glassy conditions on a solid 7ft swell. The second best is Thursday the 10th of September morning for the big, clean power. The rest of the two weeks is a lot of waiting and dodging onshore winds.
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.
