The Lowdown

Alright mate, Rusty here with the long-range outlook for Singleton.

We've got a bit of a mixed bag ahead. The start of the period is a no-go, as the first few days are either too small, blown out, or just plain messy. The first real glimmer of hope doesn't show up until later in the week. The water temperature is running a bit colder than normal for this time of year, sitting at 63°, about 3° below average, so you'll want a decent spring suit.

The week kicks off with a solid pulse of swell on Sunday the 16th, with a 6ft swell from the WSW and a period of 14 seconds. The combined energy is strong (1533), but the conditions are only marginal. The standout of the entire outlook is the Friday morning, the 21st of August. Singleton is exposed to the best swell direction, and we've got a clean 7ft swell from the WSW with a 15-second period, producing moderate to strong wave energy (1994). The wind is glassy from the SE, which is a massive positive. This will be clean, lined-up surf, but with that 7ft swell, it's really for the experienced crew. It could be a bit inconsistent, but those sets will be worth the wait.

The Saturday morning, the 22nd of August, is also a good one. The swell drops a touch to 6ft from the same WSW direction, but the period is still a solid 14 seconds, with moderate energy (2120). The wind is glassy again from the SSE, so the conditions will be clean. A solid option for the weekend if you missed the Friday.

After that, the surf becomes a bit more of a puzzle. We get a few more mornings with clean conditions and cross-off winds, like Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th, with 7ft and 8ft swells, but the swell periods drop off, and the energy is less. The Tuesday afternoon of the 25th sees a massive jump in energy (4794) with a 10ft W swell, but the wind turns cross-on, making it messy. The very end of the month and into the 31st, the swell gets huge – 13ft to 15ft – with extremely strong energy (over 9000), but it's all cross-on wind and way too big for any safe surfing. That's more of a kite-surfing situation with the strong cross-onshore winds.

So, to sum it up: the best bets are the Friday the 21st and Saturday the 22nd of August for clean, glassy conditions and a solid swell. Don't sleep on the Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th mornings either, if you're after a smaller, cleaner wave. The second week is a mix of huge, blown-out swells and marginal conditions, so keep an eye on the forecasts.

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.
