Yallingup

Yallingup is a beach break located on Western Australia's southwestern coast, characterized by a northwest-facing sandy beach backed by dense forest. The spot features consistent swell exposure from the Indian Ocean with rocky reef formations visible offshore. The adjacent residential development limits space for launching and recovery, making beach management important. Average waves of 1.94m and rough water conditions indicate moderate swell activity. Wind reliability is relatively low at 19.4%, with average winds around 9.6 knots suggesting this is a secondary wind location. The northwest coastline orientation means northeasterly to easterly winds provide the most favorable side-shore conditions. This spot suits intermediate kiters with reef awareness and rough-water experience. The rocky outcrops and proximity to residential areas require careful planning. Best sessions occur during periods of stronger wind and larger swell alignment. Limited infrastructure and space mean early morning sessions and careful spot assessment are advisable.
