The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya from the Singleton region. Let's get into it.
The first real surf we can talk about is Sunday the 19th of July, but honestly, it's a bit of a messy start. We've got a solid 8-foot swell from the WSW, period around 14 seconds – that's a proper groundswell – but the wind is havin' a few too many opinions. Sunday morning it's a light cross-onshore at 6 mph, and the combined wave energy is high (2160), but the quality's just not there. It's a marginal call. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothin' wild there.
Monday the 20th is where it starts to get a little more interestin'. The swell drops to a cleaner 5 feet, still from the WSW, and the period is a nice 11 seconds. The wind? Glassy. Absolutely glassy. That's a beautiful thing. The wave energy is moderate (709), and the report says "expect very good surf conditions." This is a solid shout for a cleaner session. The wind holds light and glassy again on Tuesday the 21st morning with 5-foot swell, but the arvo turns to rubbish with a strong cross-onshore at 12 mph.
Wednesday the 22nd and Thursday the 23rd are your real standouts in this first week. Wednesday morning we've got 5 feet of swell at 13 seconds, with a clean cross-offshore breeze. The energy is building (936). Thursday is the gem though – 5 feet of swell from the WSW, a 14-second period, and a clean 9 mph offshore wind from the NE. The wave energy is 811, and it's described as "expect very good surf conditions." This is the pick of the first week. Singleton is a fairly consistent spot, but it's exposed to the swell, and crowds are sometimes an issue around here, so if you see clean lines, don't sleep on it.
Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th are a bit of a letdown. The swell drops right off to 4 feet, and the wind gets messy. Saturday the 25th sees a jump in size to 5 feet, but the wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-onshore in the afternoon, creating lumpy, poor conditions. The energy is 1018, but it's not worth paddling out for.
We hit a bit of a rough patch from Sunday the 26th right through to the 30th of July. The winds are mostly onshore, cross, or just strong, and the swell is all over the place. Wednesday the 30th is a write-off with 2-foot of short-period junk.
Now, hold on to your board, because Friday the 31st of July is a real beauty. The swell is 6 feet from the west, with a long 17-second period, making it a proper groundswell. The wind is glassy, and the report says "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers." The combined energy is a solid 1696. This is a proper standout, but that long period might make it a bit straight at a beach break, so keep that in mind. The morning is the pick.
Then we get to the beginning of August, and it's a different story. Saturday the 1st of August, the swell is predicted to be a massive 15 feet from the WNW. That's not for the faint of heart, and frankly, it's too big for this break. The energy is 4507, but the call says it's just too big. Sunday the 2nd of August is still 10 feet with a 17-second period, again too big for most.
Finally, Monday the 3rd of August, we get a nice return to form. The swell drops to 6 feet from the WSW, period is 12 seconds, and the wind is glassy again. The energy is 1104, and it's described as "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers." That's a great way to cap off the outlook.
So, to wrap it up: the best bets are the glassy mornings of Thursday the 23rd of July and Friday the 31st of July. The first week's winner is Thursday the 23rd, and the second week's hidden gem is that Friday the 31st. The first weekend of August is just too big. Stay safe out there.
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.
