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.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. The first few days are pretty rough. Saturday the 22nd and Sunday the 23rd are a write-off with messy cross-onshore winds and lumpy, choppy conditions. The swell is there, but it’s not worth paddling out for. You’re better off waiting.
The real action starts to build on Monday the 24th. That morning, the wind drops right out to glassy, and we’ve got a clean 7ft groundswell from the WSW with a 14-second period. The energy is moderate (energy 1570). This is your standout session for the whole outlook. The water temp is sitting at 65°, which is pretty average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there. The waves will have some punch, and with those glassy conditions, it’ll be a treat. It’s a bit on the bigger side, so it’s more for experienced surfers, but if you’re comfortable, get in the water Monday morning.
Tuesday the 25th sees the wind swing cross-shore and the quality drops off again. Then Wednesday the 26th, things get serious. We’ve got a massive 12ft long-period groundswell (19 seconds) rolling in from the WSW, with a strong energy reading (9850). The wind is light and cross-off, keeping it clean. But let me be straight with you – that’s too big for this break. It’s a red flag for anyone but experts, and even then, it’s pushing the limits. The same goes for Thursday the 27th with a 10ft swell. These are big, powerful, and not for the faint-hearted.
The surf settles down again towards the end of the month. Saturday the 29th looks promising with a clean 6ft groundswell and gentle offshore winds from the ENE. That’s a solid session for experienced surfers, with good energy (1672). Sunday the 30th morning also holds a clean 7ft swell, but the wind is more cross-off, so not as perfect as Saturday.
The first week of September starts with a clean morning on Tuesday the 1st (6ft, offshore, energy 1652), but the afternoons get blown out. Then we see a few days of marginal conditions with cross-shore winds and choppy seas. The energy is moderate, but the wind just isn’t playing ball.
Looking further ahead, Saturday the 5th looks like another decent window. The morning has a 6ft swell with clean cross-off winds, and the afternoon picks up to 8ft from the WSW with a nice 17-second period (energy 3127). That’s a lot of water moving, and it’ll be clean, so keep an eye on that one.
Finally, Sunday the 6th of September brings another huge pulse – 15ft to 16ft from the west. That’s too big for this spot again, and the wind turns onshore in the afternoon, making it a no-go for paddle surfing. If you’ve got a kite, that might be more your scene.
So, to wrap it up: the standout is Monday the 24th of August, glassy and clean with a solid 7ft groundswell. The next best bet is Saturday the 29th of August with gentle offshore winds and a clean 6ft swell. Don’t sleep on those.
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.
