The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a solid block of surf on the way at Singleton (WSW exposed), so no waiting around. The water’s a bit colder than normal for this time of year, sitting at 63°F, about 2°F below average, so a decent wetsuit is the call.
Thursday 13th – morning is the standout of the whole run. The swell is a clean 7ft out of the WSW with a very long 17-second period, packing strong wave energy (2862). The wind is glassy from the ENE at just 3 mph. This is groundswell at its finest—long-period sets, good shape, and easy paddling between sets. It’s a bit much for beginners at this size, but experienced surfers are in for a treat. Expect some company though; crowds can show here sometimes.
Friday 14th morning keeps the quality rolling: 7ft WSW swell, 16-second period, moderate wave energy (2198), with a cross-off wind from the NE at 6 mph keeping things clean. Still a session for experienced surfers.
Saturday 15th morning drops a touch in size to 6ft WSW, 14-second period, moderate energy (1127), with a clean cross-off NNE breeze at 9 mph. Still good, but the energy’s winding down.
Sunday 16th morning pushes back up to 6ft WSW, 15-second period, stronger energy (1663), and clean cross-off NNE wind at 12 mph. Not quite the standout but a solid session.
Monday 17th turns ugly—fresh cross-onshore wind at 22 mph from the W, swell jumping to 8ft and then 12ft, with wave energy going through the roof (4054 to 6817). Poor conditions, blown out.
Tuesday 18th morning has a massive 12ft W swell with 16-second period and strong energy (6548), and the wind is clean offshore from the ENE at 6 mph—glass on the face. Trouble is, at that size it’s too big for this break, experts only if they’re brave.
Wednesday 19th through Sunday 23rd is a messy run: strong winds, lumpy seas, and onshore slop. Swell hangs around 7–10ft but the quality is poor. Not worth paddling out.
Monday 24th morning brings a glimmer: 6ft WSW swell, 13-second period, solid moderate energy (2298), and glassy conditions with a NW wind at 3 mph. Clean, rideable, and for experienced surfers. A nice little breather.
Tuesday 25th morning pushes back to 10ft WSW with 16-second period and strong energy (4393), but the wind is cross-on from the SSW at 6 mph, and it’s too big for comfort again.
Wednesday 26th morning finishes strong: 6ft WSW, 14-second period, moderate energy (1399), with a cross-off breeze from the E at 3 mph. Glassy, clean, and surfable for experienced crew. A good note to end the first week on.
The true standout is Thursday 13th morning—that glassy, very long-period WSW groundswell is the best of the 16-day window. If you can only go once, make it that.
Thursday 27th onwards drops right off in size and quality, with Thursday 28th seeing a massive 13–15ft swell and strong winds—too big and blown out for any sensible paddle session.

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.
