Werri Beach - surf spot statistics

Werri Beach in Australia is a surf spot that generally offers year-round waves, but the best conditions are found during the autumn and winter months, from April to August. During this period, ground swell contribution increases, reaching its peak in May, June, and July with 28% ground swell, which provides cleaner and more powerful waves compared to the wind swell-dominated months. Swell size remains relatively consistent throughout the year, averaging around 1.2–1.3 meters, though the quality improves when ground swells prevail. Wind conditions are most favorable from April to July, with good wind days peaking at 41% in May, dropping significantly outside this window. The summer months (December to February) see a higher proportion of wind swells (87–89%) and unfavorable winds (77–79%), leading to choppier and less consistent surf. Spring (September to November) brings a gradual decline in swell quality and wind conditions, making it less reliable. For surfers seeking the cleanest and most rideable waves at Werri Beach, the optimal window is mid-autumn to late winter, particularly May to July, when ground swells are more frequent, winds are lighter onshore or offshore, and conditions are generally more favorable. Outside these months, surfers may still find rideable waves, but consistency and quality diminish.

June at Werri Beach offers relatively consistent surfing conditions with an average swell height of 1.3m and a decent period of 9.5s, indicating well-organized, rideable waves. The swell is predominantly from the ESE to SSE directions, which tends to produce clean, workable waves along the beach. The majority of waves fall in the 0.5-1.5m range, with a good portion of swell (around 18%) in the 1.5-2.5m bracket, offering solid surfing potential for intermediate to advanced riders. However, wave quality can be affected by wind, with only 39% of wind conditions being ideal (typically light offshore from the west or northwest). The rest of the time, winds are onshore (especially from the S-SSW) or cross-shore, which can create choppier conditions. Stronger winds (20kph+) are most common from the SW-WNW, but lighter winds (<20kph) still provide windows of cleaner surf. Overall, June presents a mix of manageable conditions with occasional cleaner, well-shaped days, particularly when winds cooperate. Expect a decent balance of rideable days, though patience may be needed for optimal sessions.
