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.

July at Yallingup offers solid surf conditions, with an average swell height of 2.3m and a strong period of 13.6s, indicating powerful, well-formed waves. Swell direction is predominantly from the WSW (31.7% of waves between 1-2.5m) and SW (7.9% of waves in the same range), providing consistent, mid-sized to larger waves. The W direction also contributes a notable share of surfable waves (9.4% between 1-2.5m), though fewer in the larger range. Winds are less ideal, with just 21% of days offering favorable conditions. Onshore winds from the N to WNW are common, particularly in the 10-30kph range, which can create choppiness, while lighter offshore winds from the SE to E are rare but beneficial when present. Expect a mix of clean and messy sessions, with the best days occurring when WSW swells coincide with lighter or offshore winds. Advanced surfers will find plenty of size and power, though wind conditions may require patience for optimal sessions.
