Conditions at Yallingup in July
July: Maximum Size and Storm-Ridden Skies
July is the apex of winter swell production along Yallingup. Average swell height peaks at 9ft (2.8m) with a 13.1s period, and the directional mix is the most westerly of the year: WSW contributes 15.7 percent, W 4.3 percent, WNW 1.9 percent, and NW/NNW add a further 1.8 percent. This means the WNW-facing reefs receive plenty of direct westerly energy, and when the winds align, the surf is some of the heaviest and most challenging of the year. The 6.5-8ft (2-2.5m) band is the most common, but on larger days Yallingup can easily enter the 10ft plus (3m plus) realm.
The offshore window is still limited at 17 percent, while W/WSW/WNW/NW winds blast the coastline for a combined 36 percent of the time. Low pressure systems tracking through the Great Australian Bight keep the weather unsettled, with air temperatures averaging just 16.0 degrees C (min 11.5, max 21.3), water temperature down to 18.2 degrees C, and 3.82mm/day of rain. If you score a rare clean day in July, cancel all plans, but be prepared to sift through a lot of stormy slop to find it.
