The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board and wax, I'm Rusty, and I've got the lowdown on the only game in town for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a bit of a one-trick pony around here, but it's a good trick. Our only reliable option is Singleton, and it's going to be a wild ride for the more experienced crew. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing crazy there.
We kick off the whole forecast period on Wednesday, 12 August, with a solid start. Singleton is waking up to a clean 8ft swell from the WSW, with a very long period of 15 seconds. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the N at 6 mph, keeping things tidy. The wave energy is moderate (2212), and it's a groundswell, so it'll be a bit more powerful. That long period is best for Singleton's point setup, so shape should be good. This is a standout for the first week.
Through the rest of the week, Thursday 13 August looks like the absolute cream of the crop. The swell drops a touch to 7ft, but it's still a strong WSW groundswell, and the period stretches to a very long 17 seconds. The magic is the wind – it's glassy, a dead calm NE at 3 mph. If you can get on it, this is the session. The energy is strong (2862). Friday 14 August is also a cracker in the morning with a 7ft WSW swell, 16-second period, and a clean offshore from the ENE at 3 mph. The energy is still strong (2198). Saturday 15 August is a bit smaller at 6ft, but still a clean morning with a NNE cross-offshore.
Now, here's the thing. This spot is exposed to the WSW, and it's getting the full force of the swell. From Sunday 16 August onwards, things start to get serious. The swell ticks up to 7ft - 10ft. By Tuesday 18 August, we're looking at a 10ft swell. That's getting into expert-only territory, and the forecast is clear that it's going to be too big for this break. Wednesday 19 August is a write-off with 13ft of swell and crazy onshore winds. The energy values are hitting the thousands (7263, 8255), which is just insane.
There is a bit of a gap where the surf is just too big or blown out, but then we get a reprieve. The following week, starting around Thursday 20 August, the swell is still huge (12ft from the W), but the wind is a clean cross-offshore. It's still too big for the break, so it's a look-and-see situation for the absolute pros. It stays big and mostly messy until the very end of the forecast period.
The final standout is a little beacon of hope on Thursday 27 August. The swell drops to 8ft, the wind goes glassy again from the ENE at 3 mph, and the energy is moderate (2403). It's a morning session, and it looks like a fantastic way to close out the 16-day window if the forecasts hold up.
So, to sum it up: the best of the best is the glassy Thursday morning on 13 August. After that, it's a long stretch of big, powerful, and often messy surf that's only for the brave. Keep your eyes on the 27 August for a possible final glassy treat.
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.
