The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve got the outlook for Singleton. Let’s get into it.
It’s been a bit of a slow start around here, but there’s some real promise building a little further out. The first few days are mostly a write-off thanks to messy wind and building swell, but we’ve got a few standout windows that are worth circling on the calendar.
Friday, July 24 through Sunday, July 26 is a bit of a wash. The swell is small and the wind is mainly cross or cross-off, but the real problem is that by Sunday, a strong NNW breeze kicks up and the swell jumps to 7ft with a short, weak 6-second period. That’s a messy, choppy setup, and the combined energy is only moderate (586). Not worth paddling out for.
Monday, July 27 sees a big jump in swell height – 12ft from the WSW with a 14-second period, and the combined energy hits 4444, which is strong. But the wind is howling cross-on from the SW, so it’s blown out and choppy. This one’s for the kite crew, not the paddle crew.
The first real glimmer comes on Tuesday morning, July 28. The swell drops to a manageable 6ft from the WSW, period is a nice 14 seconds, and the wind is a clean cross-off from the east. The combined energy is still strong at 1245, but the conditions are clean. This is a good session for experienced surfers – the size is pushing past beginner territory. Water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The real standout, the one you want to clear your schedule for, is Friday, July 31. The morning shows 8ft WSW swell with a 19-second period – that’s very long-period groundswell, full of energy (3921 combined). The wind is light cross-off from the north, so it’s clean. By the afternoon, it gets even better: the swell holds at 8ft, the period is 18 seconds, and the wind goes glassy. Combined energy is a massive 4444. This is excellent, but it’s also big – this is expert-only territory. The very long period will make it fat and powerful, best at the point or reef setup here. Singleton is exposed to the WSW, which is the optimum direction, so expect it to line up well. Crowds are possible, so get out there early.
Saturday morning, August 1 is another glassy gem, with 7ft from the WSW and a 16-second period, combined energy 2275. Still clean, still strong, but the afternoon swell jumps to 10ft and the wind shifts cross-on, so it’s too big for most.
The following week is a mixed bag. Sunday, August 2 has clean cross-off wind and 8ft swell, but it’s a bit more wind-affected with a fresh breeze. The Monday, August 3 morning sees clean offshore wind, but the swell drops to 5ft and the energy is moderate (1133). By Tuesday, August 4, the wind is straight onshore and the conditions are poor.
Wednesday, August 5 through to the end of the forecast is a mess. The wind is strong and cross or onshore, with big, messy swells. On Friday, August 7 afternoon, we’re looking at 16ft from the west with a 9-second period and a near gale cross-on wind – that’s a full-blown storm surf, only for the crazy ones, and the combined energy is 6614. Saturday, August 8 morning is even bigger: 15ft, 15-second period, but with a 31 mph cross-on gale. That’s a no-go for paddle surfing.
So, the best bet is Friday, July 31 – the glassy, very long-period WSW groundswell is the highlight of the whole 16-day window. The Tuesday before is also a solid, clean option for experienced surfers. Don’t hold your breath for the second week; it’s mostly blown out or too big.

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.
