The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for Singleton over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a slow start, but things will pick up. The first real session worth paddling out for is that Friday morning, the 17th of July. The water’s sitting at 65°, which is a bit colder than what we’re used to for this time of year, so you might want an extra layer. We’re looking at a clean 5ft swell rolling in from the WSW, with a 13-second period and a light cross-off breeze from the NNE. The wave energy is moderate (952), and it’s going to be very surfable. Singleton is a beginner-friendly spot, and while it’s fairly consistent, it can get crowded sometimes. With that clean morning window, it’s a solid option for a Friday.
The weekend takes a turn for the ugly. Saturday the 18th sees a big jump in size, with 13ft of messy onshore wind swell from the W, and the energy is full-on strong (4172). That’s too big and blown out for anyone. Sunday the 19th is a bit smaller, around 8ft, but the wind is cross-on, so it’s not going to be pretty. Give it a miss.
Monday the 20th brings us back into the game. Another clean morning with a 5ft WSW swell, a light cross-off breeze from the NNE, and moderate energy (757). It’s a good, clean option for the start of the week.
The standout of the whole outlook, though, is Wednesday the 22nd of July. The morning session is a beauty. We’ve got a 6ft swell from the WSW, a 13-second period, and a light offshore breeze from the SE. The energy is moderate (1058), but the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. The swell size is just right for a decent challenge without being too much. That’s the morning to circle on your calendar.
After that, the following week is a mix of clean mornings and choppy afternoons. Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th both have clean morning windows with 5ft and 4ft swells respectively, but nothing that really jumps out. Then we get to Sunday the 26th of July. The afternoon is a real treat: glassy conditions, the wind is dead calm, and a 3ft long-period swell from the WSW with a very long 18-second period. The energy is moderate (963), and it’ll be clean, but that long period means it might be better for a point or a reef than a beach break. Still, a glassy, small-wave day is a fun day.
Looking further out, the morning of Friday the 31st of July is a clean 5ft swell from the W with a 15-second period and a cross-off wind. The energy is strong (1864), and it’s rated excellent for experienced surfers. That’s another good one, but it’s over a week away, so keep an eye on it.
The biggest surf of the forecast hits on Saturday the 1st of August. We’re talking a 10ft swell from the W with a 19-second period, and the wind is offshore and clean. The energy is massive (5726). But the catch is, it’s predicted to be too big for this break. That’s expert-only territory, and even then, this setup might be more interesting for the kite surfers than paddle surfers.
Overall, the best bet for clean, quality waves is the morning of the 22nd of July. The 26th of July afternoon is a close second for the glassy conditions, and the 31st of July morning is a promising long-range call. There are a few gaps in the middle of the week, especially the 28th and 29th, where it’s poor, but the consistent pattern of clean mornings means it won’t stay flat for long.
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.
