Warroora Station - surf spot statistics

Warroora Station in Australia offers consistent surf conditions year-round, but the best months for quality waves are generally from April to August. During this period, ground swell dominates (96-99% of the time) with minimal wind swell interference, providing clean, powerful waves. The mean swell size increases slightly from 1.3m in April to 1.6m in July and August, offering ideal conditions for intermediate to advanced surfers. Wind conditions are also most favorable in these months, with good wind days peaking at 29% in May, though onshore winds still prevail most of the time (71-75% bad wind conditions). Late autumn and winter (May-July) strike the best balance between swell consistency, size, and manageable winds. September brings larger swells (1.7m) but deteriorating wind conditions, making it less reliable. The summer months (November-February) see more wind swell mixing in and significantly poorer wind conditions (over 80% unfavorable), though ground swell remains present. Overall, the prime window is mid-autumn through mid-winter when surfers can expect the cleanest, most powerful waves with relatively better wind odds compared to other times of the year.

February at Warroora Station offers surfable conditions with a moderate average swell height of 1.4m and a solid 12-second period, indicating well-organized, consistent waves. The swell predominantly arrives from the WSW (30.62% of waves in the 1-1.5m range, 18.53% in 1.5-2m) and SW (12.89% in 1-1.5m, 5.94% in 1.5-2m), delivering clean, rideable waves with good energy. However, wind conditions are often less ideal—only 18% of the time is the wind favorable for surfing. Strong southerly and southwesterly winds are common (e.g., S and SSW directions frequently see 20-40kph speeds), which can create choppy or onshore conditions, especially with higher-end gusts. Surfers should prioritize early mornings or days with lighter winds (E-ENE directions are calmer but rare). Overall, expect a mix of quality sessions when winds align, but frequent wind challenges may require patience.
