About windows
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces W (265°), so it takes swell from the W. The wind blows offshore from the E (85°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits expert surfers. It works in 3–20 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 200 m out (1 in 20). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 18°C in September, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 22°C in March, its warmest (2 mm shorty). For expert surfers the best months are usually March, April and May, with about 3 good days in 7; in January and December, about 1. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Yallingup. Within 5 km we also list 3 surf spots.
Water about 19°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
