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.

October at Warroora Station offers consistent surf with an average swell height of 1.6m and a solid period of 13.3s, producing well-organized, powerful waves. Swell direction is predominantly from the southwest to west-southwest (WSW), with 27–33% of waves in the 1.5–2m range and another 11.9% reaching 2–2.5m—ideal for intermediate to advanced surfers. Smaller days (1–1.5m) occur frequently (27% WSW), while larger swells (>2.5m) are rare. Wind conditions are less favorable, with only 11% of days offering clean offshore or light winds. The majority of winds blow from the south to southeast (SSE–SE), often at 20–40kph, creating onshore chop that can degrade wave quality. However, early mornings or occasional lighter wind windows may provide cleaner sessions. Overall, October delivers reliable swell but requires patience for optimal wind conditions.
