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.

November at Yallingup offers fairly consistent surf conditions with an average swell height of 1.4m and a solid period of 12.8s, indicating good energy in the waves. The swell is predominantly from the SW to WSW directions, with SW producing the highest proportion of rideable waves (3.94% in the 1-1.5m range and 4.82% in the 1.5-2m range). WSW swells are also frequent, particularly in the 0.5-1m and 1-1.5m ranges, though they drop off in larger sizes. The wind is less favorable, with only 23% of conditions being ideal for surfing. The strongest and most consistent winds come from the SE to S and SSW directions, often blowing at 20-30kph, which can create onshore chop. However, lighter winds (0-20kph) do occur, particularly from the N to NE, providing occasional clean conditions. Overall, November delivers decent surf with a mix of mid-sized swells, but wind quality is inconsistent—best sessions are likely when SW swells coincide with light offshore or glassy conditions.
