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.

March at Yallingup offers decent surf conditions with a mix of swell sizes and occasional favorable winds. The average swell height is 1.3m with a solid 13.2s period, providing consistent, well-spaced waves. The dominant swell direction is from the SW to WSW, delivering the best wave heights (1-2.5m range), with WSW swells contributing the most rideable waves—especially in the 0.5-2m range. Smaller swells from the S and SSW also occur, adding variety. Wind conditions are less consistent, with only 29% of days offering ideal offshore or light winds. The most problematic winds are from the SE to ESE, which are onshore and stronger (10-30kph), potentially creating choppy conditions. However, SW-WNW winds, though less frequent, can be cleaner. Overall, March provides a fair balance of swell energy and occasional good wind windows, best suited for intermediate to advanced surfers who can adapt to variable conditions. Keep an eye on forecasts for those cleaner WSW swell days with lighter winds.
