- South-south-west to west-north-west
- Best tide

- Suits
- Intermediate+
Who it suits depends on the size: intermediates up to about 1m. Bigger than 1m it is for advanced surfers. Long-period groundswell hits harder, so it counts as bigger.
It gets most of the open-ocean swell, so there is usually something to ride. A easterly wind blows offshore here, so mornings before the sea breeze are usually cleanest. Get Frothin’ checks the wind, swell, tide and the live wave buoys every hour and tells you, in plain English, whether it's worth paddling out at Yallingup for your level.
