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.

February at Yallingup offers consistent surf with an average swell height of 1.2m and a solid 12.9s period, indicating well-spaced, powerful waves. The dominant swell direction is from the SW and WSW, contributing to the majority of rideable conditions, particularly in the 0.5-2.5m range. Larger swells (1.5-2.5m) occur frequently from these directions, providing good overhead opportunities for experienced surfers. However, wind conditions are less favorable, with only 24% of days featuring ideal offshore or light cross-shore winds (typically from the east or northeast). The most common winds are from the south to southeast at 10-30kph, which can create choppy or onshore conditions, especially in the afternoons. Early mornings often provide cleaner waves before the sea breeze kicks in. While the spot handles southerly winds better than due onshore winds, surfers should prioritize sessions when winds are lighter or easterly. Overall, February delivers solid swells but requires careful timing to maximize clean conditions. The mix of size and period makes it a strong month for intermediate to advanced surfers.
