About Yallingup

Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.

The spot faces W (283°), so it takes swell from the W. The wind blows offshore from the E (103°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–10 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 250 m out (1 in 26). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. 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 intermediate surfers the best months are usually March, April and May, with about 1 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Yallingup, 0.6 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 11 surf spots and 1 wind sports spot.

Water about 19°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
