Yallingup - surf spot statistics

Yallingup, Western Australia, offers consistent surf year-round, dominated by clean ground swells (89-95% prevalence) with minimal wind swell interference. The best months for quality surf are April through October, when swell energy peaks and wave heights average 1.5m to 2.3m—reaching their largest in June-August (2.2-2.3m). However, winter (June-August) brings challenging wind conditions, with only 21% favorable offshore winds. April and May stand out as the sweet spot: swell size builds (1.5m-1.8m) while wind conditions improve (31-34% good winds), offering cleaner faces. September-October retains solid swell (2.2m-1.7m) but winds deteriorate slightly. Summer (December-March) provides smaller, manageable waves (1.2m-1.3m), though onshore winds plague 71-78% of days. For advanced surfers, late autumn (April-May) delivers the optimal balance of size, consistency, and cleaner conditions, while winter suits those prioritizing raw power over wind quality.

In April, Yallingup offers decent surf conditions with an average swell height of 1.5m and a solid 13.5s period, ensuring well-formed, powerful waves. The swell is predominantly from the SW to WSW direction, with the highest frequency of rideable waves (1-2.5m) coming from these angles—particularly WSW, which dominates in the 0.5-2.5m range. Larger swells (over 2.5m) are rare but occur occasionally from the SW and WSW. Wind conditions are favorable for surfing 34% of the time, with lighter winds (0-20kph) from the SE to SSE offering the cleanest faces. However, stronger easterlies (ESE-E) can create bumpy conditions, while W-NW winds tend to be onshore but are often under 20kph. Overall, April provides consistent, mid-sized swell energy with occasional clean offshore days, making it a reliable month for intermediate to advanced surfers who can handle the power of groundswells.
