The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a solid run of swell on the cards, but the wind is going to be the big story. The first few days are looking pretty good, but we’ll have to dodge some messy afternoons and a few days where it just gets blown out. The standout window is right at the start, with a long-period groundswell and clean conditions.
Singleton kicks things off on Wednesday, September 9th. We’re looking at a solid 6ft swell from the WSW, with a very long 15-second period. The morning is clean with a moderate offshore breeze, and the combined energy is pumping at 1753 – that’s strong muscular swell. This is proper groundswell, so expect well-shaped, powerful lines. It’s over 5ft, so it’s a bit much for beginners, but for experienced surfers, this is a ripper. The afternoon holds in with a 6ft swell and a gentle offshore wind, staying clean. This is the best session on offer, no doubt.
Thursday, September 10th, the swell drops a touch to 4ft, but the wind is still favorable. The morning is clean with a moderate offshore, and the afternoon turns glassy. That’s a very nice window for a longer board.
Friday, September 11th, brings a shift in swell direction to the W, with a groundswell period of 19 seconds. The morning is clean with a cross-offshore wind, and the energy is very strong at 1517. The swell is a bit smaller at 4ft, but that long period will make it sucky and powerful. The afternoon gets a bit messy with a cross-on wind.
We hit a rough patch from Saturday, September 12th, through Monday, September 14th. The swell bumps up, but the wind turns onshore or cross-onshore, making things choppy. The size climbs to 7ft, but the quality is poor. There’s a window Monday morning, September 14th, with 7ft of swell and glassy conditions – that’s clean and powerful, but the energy is very high at 1652. This is for experienced surfers only, and it’s a short-lived window before the wind turns nasty again.
The wind stays messy from Monday afternoon all the way through to Sunday, September 20th. Swell sizes bounce around from 4ft to 10ft, but the wind is consistently cross-onshore or onshore, churning things up. The energy gets huge, even hitting 4131 – that’s very strong, but it’s all blown out. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Towards the end of the run, on Monday, September 21st, the swell goes massive at 12ft – that’s a big, powerful, dangerous swell. It’s too big for this break, so unless you’re a big-wave charger, sit this one out. The wind is still cross-onshore.
Tuesday, September 22nd, still has that 10ft swell. The morning is glassy, which is a rare treat, but the swell is massive and only for experts. The afternoon gets messy again.
The last real hope is Wednesday, September 23rd. The swell drops back to a manageable 6ft, and we get a clean, gentle offshore wind in the morning. The energy is still solid at 1280. This is a good, clean session for experienced surfers to end the forecast period. The following Thursday morning is small and clean, but the swell is weak.
So, to sum it up: grab Wednesday, September 9th for the best of the best. The Monday, September 14th morning glass-off is a close second for the big wave crew. The rest is a battle with the wind until the 23rd.
Rusty out.

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.
