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.
Overall, we’ve got a mixed bag. The opening days are looking pretty average, but there’s a real standout moment tucked in there for the experienced crew, and then a massive, messy pulse of swell that’s going to be way too much for the paddle. The first decent recommendation doesn’t kick in until the morning of Thursday the 10th, so we’re starting right away.
Thursday, September 10th is a bit of a tease. The morning delivers a clean 4ft WSW swell with a nice long period of 15 seconds. The wind is off from the NE at 16 mph, which is fine, but it’s not perfect. The real highlight is the afternoon – the wind drops to a glassy 3 mph from the ESE. The swell holds at 4ft from the WSW, period 14 seconds, and the wave energy is moderate (738). The water is sitting at 64°, which is about average for this time of year. It’s a clean, fun session, but not a standout.
Friday, September 11th is a step down. The morning has a long-period 4ft W swell (19 seconds) with a cross-off wind, but the forecast is marginal. The afternoon gets messy with a cross-on wind and choppy conditions. It’s a pass.
Saturday, September 12th and Sunday, September 13th are a write-off. Strong onshore winds and poor surf conditions dominate. The swell is there, but it’s not worth the hassle.
Now, here’s the one for the experienced surfers. Monday, September 14th. The morning is looking excellent. We’ve got a 8ft WSW swell, period 14 seconds, and the combined energy is strong (1970). The wind is glassy – absolutely dead from the NE at 3 mph. This is about as clean as it gets. The wave comment says it’s excellent for experienced surfers, and that’s spot on. At 8ft, this is the real deal for anyone who can handle it. The afternoon does get choppy with a cross-on wind, so get your session in early. This is the true standout of the whole period.
Tuesday, September 15th through Thursday, September 17th is a long stretch of marginal conditions. The swell hangs around 5ft to 7ft from the WSW, but the wind is always cross-on or cross-shore, leaving a bumpy surface. The energy is moderate to strong (up to 1773), but the wind never cooperates to make it great.
Friday, September 18th and Saturday, September 19th are a mess. The wind howls from the NW and WNW, gusting up to 25 mph. The swell explodes – 10ft to 13ft – with very strong wave energy (6796). The conditions are poor and the wind is too strong. At these sizes, and with the wind onshore, this setup at Singleton is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It’s big, nasty, and not for the surfboard.
Sunday, September 20th is a little better, with an 8ft WSW swell and lighter winds, but it’s still cross-on and choppy. The energy is strong (2779), but it’s not a clean day.
Then we get a second, slightly smaller standout. Monday, September 21st. The morning again looks excellent with a 7ft WSW swell and glassy conditions from the N at 3 mph. The energy is strong (1856). This is another window for the experienced surfer to get clean, punchy waves. The afternoon picks up a cross-on wind, but the morning is the window.
The rest of the period from Tuesday, September 22nd through to Friday, September 25th tails off into a mix of marginal conditions and poor surf. The wind is consistently cross-shore or onshore, and the swell energy drops off. The last few days are a no-go with strong onshore winds and poor conditions.
So, to wrap it up: the best bet is Monday, September 14th morning for the experienced crew. Monday, September 21st morning is also a good, clean option. The rest of the time, you’re fighting the wind or the size.
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.
