The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at the next couple of weeks.
Alright, so the story for this stretch is a bit of a slow burn, but there’s a couple of beauty days hidden in there. The first few days are mostly for the experienced crew, nothing really firing for the average punter. The overall pattern shows a solid WSW groundswell lingering, but the wind is going to be the main spoiler or saver depending on the day.
Monday the 14th sees some pulse. Singleton is showing a 8ft swell from the WSW with a 14-second period. That’s proper groundswell energy, reading at 2027 combined energy. The morning has a light ESE cross-off breeze, making it clean. It’s decent but the size is getting up there over 8ft, so this is strictly for the experienced surfers. The afternoon turns to a cross-shore chop, so get in early.
Tuesday the 15th is actually the best of this first week. Tuesday morning is a standout. Glassy conditions with a clear sky and a gentle E offshore breeze at 9 mph. The wave height sits at a solid 7ft from the WSW, with that same long 14-second period, producing a combined energy of 1637. It’s a bit on the bigger side for a beginner, but for anyone comfortable at this size, it’s clean and lined up. The afternoon stays clean but the breeze picks up a little more side-off.
Things drop off noticeably from Wednesday the 16th through to Sunday the 21st. Swell drops right away, energy numbers tumble below 600. It gets small and the wind patterns get messier, turning cross and onshore. Not worth a mention for a paddle. There’s a flash of interest on Friday morning the 18th with a 10ft short-period W swell, but with a 22 mph N cross-off wind it’s a complete mess of wind and size, only for the crazies.
Then we hit a real gem. Wednesday the 23rd of September starts the next chapter. Morning sets up with a 6ft WSW swell at 14 seconds, but the energy is strong at 2042 combined. The E cross-off breeze is a gentle 9 mph, and the window says “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers.” It’s clean. The afternoon holds the same quality with a 15-second period pushing bigger lines. This is the turn-around.
But the absolute highlight, and I mean the standout of the whole 16-day outlook, is Saturday the 26th of September. Saturday morning is excellent for experienced surfers: 5ft from the WSW, a very long 21-second period, and clean with a gentle SE breeze. The energy is huge at 3448. Then Saturday afternoon goes off. It’s an “exceptional” call for experts. 8ft from the WSW, a 19-second period, and the combined energy reading is a massive 5050. The wind is a gentle ESE 9 mph cross-off. It is going to be clean, powerful, and organised. This is the session to aim for. Just a heads up, with that size and power it is strictly for the experienced, and the break is inconsistent so don’t expect it to just be a constant wave machine. Given the size over 8ft and the power, only experts need apply. For the rest, it might be a great day to watch.
The water temp is about average for the time of year at Singleton (should be low-to-mid 50s Fahrenheit), so a good 4/3 wetsuit is the go.

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.
