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.

In May, Warroora Station offers decent surfing conditions with an average swell height of 1.4m and a solid period of 13.9s, providing consistent and well-formed waves. The swell direction is predominantly from the WSW, contributing to 36.25% of waves in the 1-1.5m range and 20.26% in the 1.5-2m range, making it the most productive direction for rideable waves. Smaller contributions come from SW and W directions, ensuring variety in wave angles. Wind conditions are ideal for surfing only 29% of the time, with lighter winds (0-20kph) most common from the SE to SSW, though stronger winds can occasionally create chop. The best sessions will likely occur when offshore or light cross-shore winds align with the WSW swell, offering clean, mid-sized waves. While not the most consistent month, May still delivers opportunities for experienced surfers, particularly when wind and swell directions cooperate.
