The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s see what’s cookin’. We’ve got a solid run of swell on the way for Singleton, but honestly, most of it is going to be way too big for the average punter. There’s a massive gap from the start of the forecast right through to the 8th of August, with only monster swell and poor winds on offer, so don't bother paddling out until we get past that first week.
The first real chance to wet a line comes on Wednesday morning, August 5th. We’re looking at a solid 8ft swell from the WSW, with a long 16-second period. The water is sitting at 64°, which is pretty much bang on for this time of year. The wind is light and cross-off from the north, so the surface will be clean. The combined energy is pumping at 3668, which is serious. But at 8ft, this is really only for the experienced crew. The crowd factor is "sometimes", so you might have a few others out, but it won't be a circus.
The standout window, and I mean the absolute best on offer, is the Thursday morning, August 13th. The wind is completely glassy, dead calm, with a 8ft swell from the WSW. The period stretches out to a very long 18 seconds, so this is proper groundswell with heaps of energy (3990). The break is exposed, so it’ll handle that size, but that long period will make it grind better on the point. For a surfer who knows what they’re doing, this is going to be something special. It will be clean, powerful, and the biggest true standout of the whole outlook.
Another good early morning session is on Saturday, August 15th. The swell drops to a more manageable 6ft, still from the WSW with a 14-second period. The wind is glassy from the NNW. This is a much better size for the average joe, and the combined energy is 1214, so it’s got plenty of punch without being a washing machine. Clean conditions and a solid swell make this a quality pick for the weekend.
Later on, Monday morning, August 17th, looks like a big one again, with a 10ft WSW swell and a 17-second period, but the wind is cross-on from the WNW, which will mess up the face. Not a great option. Tuesday morning, August 18th, however, is a return to form: glassy wind from the NE, clean conditions, and a 8ft swell from the WSW with a 16-second period. The energy is 3072, so it’s solid. That’s one for the experienced crew again.
Summing it up: The first week is a write-off unless you're a madman. The clear standout is Thursday, August 13th. The glassy morning on Saturday, August 15th is the best for the average surfer.

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.
