The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's chew on what Singleton has for us.
We're kickin' off with some serious juice, but it's a tricky one. Wednesday afternoon hits with a 10-foot swell from the WSW, with a very long period of 15 seconds, and the energy is massive at 4139. The water temp is about 64°F, which is normal for this time of year. The wind is onshore, but the tide is favorable. That said, 10 feet of long-period groundswell is a beast for experts only. It's too big for beginners and will be a lumpy, shifting mess.
The real standout is Thursday morning, the 20th of August. The swell drops to a more manageable 8 feet from the WSW, still a very long 16-second period, and we get a glassy offshore wind from the ENE. The energy is still strong at 3594. This is clean, powerful, and lined up. It's still big and for experts, but it's your best shot at a proper session. Crowds are possible here, so be early.
After that, the wind picks up. Thursday afternoon gets cross-onshore, but Friday morning the 21st cleans up again with a 7-foot swell and a light offshore breeze, making it clean. The energy is still high at 2120. This is a good window for experienced surfers. Friday afternoon gets choppy.
Saturday the 22nd has a promising morning with a 6-foot swell and a cross-offshore wind, keeping it clean, but the energy is significant at 1875. Then the wind swings onshore again for the afternoon. By Sunday the 23rd, the swell drops to 5 feet, but the wind is messy.
There's a gap in the quality, but Monday the 24th morning brings another clean window with a 6-foot swell from the WSW and glassy easterly winds. The energy is moderate at 1423. That's a nice, clean session for the experienced crew.
After the 24th, the swell drops off fast. Tuesday the 25th is tiny, with the energy at 377. We have a few days of small, marginal surf.
Then, on the 26th of August, we get a massive pulse again. Wednesday morning shows a 10-foot swell from the WSW with a 19-second period, and the energy rockets to 6037. This is a monster, but the wind is a moderate cross-onshore, making it a choppy, lumpy, and dangerous mess. It's more for the kite surfers than paddle surfers. The afternoon is similar with a 10-foot swell from the west.
The rest of the period into the first week of September is a mix of smaller swells, often with onshore winds or cross-shore chop. A few mornings like the 31st of August and the 2nd of September look clean with glassy or offshore winds and 7 to 7-foot swells, which are good for experienced surfers, but the consistency is spotty. The best bet in the second week is the 31st of August Monday morning: a 7-foot W swell, light offshore wind, clean, and a solid 2183 energy. It's a decent window but not a blockbuster.
So, overall, Singleton is a powerful spot, but it's a feast-or-famine situation. The absolute standout is Thursday, the 20th of August, for a clean, heavy morning session. The next best window is Monday the 24th morning, and then the 31st of August morning. Don't bother with the afternoons, they get blown out.
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.
