The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. We’ve only got the one spot to look at in this stretch: Singleton. This is a beginner-friendly break that's fairly consistent, but don't get too excited just yet – the next 16 days are a real mixed bag, with some serious waiting involved.
We kick off on Sunday, the 30th of August, and honestly, it’s the pick of the whole run. Morning brings a clean, glassy setup with a 2.1m (about 7 ft) swell out of the WSW. The period is a whopping 18 seconds, so we’re talking proper groundswell with good shape and plenty of push – the combined energy is strong at 2678. The water temp is sitting at 18° (65°F), which is pretty much spot on for this time of year. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers, but the spot is rated for beginners, so just be aware the power is real. The wind is dead calm, so it’ll be silky smooth. This is your standout session.
From Sunday afternoon through to the end of the first week, conditions get messy quickly. Winds swing onshore and pick up, with spells of rain and choppy lines. The swell sticks around in the 1.7m to 2.1m (6 ft to 7 ft) range, but the quality drops hard. By Friday the 4th, the swell jumps to 3.5m (12 ft), which is too big for this break and only for experts – but the wind is poor, so keep the board in the car.
There’s a big gap of poor surf from the 31st through to the 6th of September. We get a little respite on Monday, the 7th of September, with another 4.0m (13 ft) pulse and glassy conditions in the morning – but again, that’s a massive swell for a beginner spot, so it’s a no-go for most. The next real glimpse of clean surf comes Tuesday morning, the 8th of September, with a cleaner 2.4m (8 ft) swell and cross-off winds, making for a better session for those with a bit of experience.
Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th both have clean mornings with offshore or cross-off breezes, and swells around 1.6m to 1.9m (5 ft to 6 ft). The energy drops to moderate (1045-1959), but the quality is solid for the break. These are your backup windows.
The long-range outlook into the second week is hit-and-miss. Friday the 11th has a promising 2.5m (8 ft) swell with a 18 second period, but the wind is cross-shore, so it’s not pristine. Then it gets windy and messy again. The real hope lands on Monday, the 14th of September, with another morning of glassy conditions and a clean 2.4m (8 ft) WSW swell – excellent for experienced surfers, but again, a bit punchy for true beginners.
Overall, the standout is undeniably Sunday morning, the 30th of August: glassy, solid 2.1m (7 ft) groundswell, and perfect conditions. If you miss that, keep an eye on the mornings of the 8th, 9th, 10th and 14th of September for your next clean windows.
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.
