The Lowdown
Alright mate, Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Singleton. This is a classic case of a spot that’s dead simple to read but painfully picky. It’s a beginner-friendly beach break, fairly consistent, but it only works when the wind plays nice and the swell isn’t a monster. The water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year, nothing wild.
The first real action kicks off on Friday morning, the 21st of August. We’ve got a solid 7 ft swell from the WSW with a 15-second period—that’s a proper groundswell with some grunt. The combined energy is sitting at 2065 (moderate) and the wind is a light 3 mph offshore from the ENE. That’s clean, glassy conditions at dawn. The catch? This is 7 ft of lined-up swell, which is pushing the limit for beginners. It’s more of a shortboarder’s wave, and the long period means it’ll break a bit fat and lumpy at this beach break. Still, for experienced surfers, it’s the best chance of the week. The afternoon turns to rubbish with a cross-on southerly.
Saturday morning, the 22nd, is the standout. The swell drops a touch to 7 ft, but still from the WSW with a 16-second period. The wind is dead calm, glassy. The combined energy is 2068 (moderate). This is going to be smooth, clean, and lined up. It’s still a bit big for learners, but for anyone who can handle a head-high wave, this is the one. The crowd factor is “sometimes,” so there’ll be a few locals out, but nothing crazy. The afternoon is wrecked by a strong cross-on southerly.
Sunday the 23rd and Monday the 24th are a mixed bag. Sunday is all cross-on wind and junk. Monday morning, the 24th, is a second chance—7 ft from the WSW with a 14-second period, glassy north wind, combined energy 1748 (moderate). It’s clean, but a bit smaller and less consistent. Afternoon gets a light onshore wind, so it’s marginal.
After that, from Tuesday the 25th through to the end of the month, it’s a long stretch of poor. The wind is mostly cross or onshore, and the swell is either too small or too messy. There’s a big pulse on Wednesday the 26th—12 ft from the west with a 19-second period and combined energy of 9548 (very strong). That’s a massive groundswell, but it’s way too big for this break. The charts say it’s “too big” for the spot, and with a cross-on southerly, it’s a no-go for paddle surfing. If you’re a kite surfer, the setup might be wild, but for a surfer, stay home.
The next window is a long way off. Saturday morning, the 5th of September, looks promising: 10 ft from the WSW with an 18-second period, combined energy 5146 (strong), and dead calm winds. But again, that’s 10 ft of groundswell. That’s expert territory at a beach break. It’s a long-range hope, so don’t bank on it.
In short: the best on offer is Saturday morning, the 22nd of August. Glassy, clean, 7 ft WSW groundswell. Get out there early. After that, it’s a long wait for a clean day.
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.
