Mals and goat boaters love this wave as the left can be very fat. However on the right swell direction and size the rights can be epic (long and tubing), pictures of yallingup can be seen in both Rip Curl Search ads and Creatures of Leisure ads.
Atmosphere
Sometimes it can be mellow, mostly in winter. In summer it can get a little too crowded

shark story - once i had a voice tell me that there was a shark going to eat me, when i was surfing here.
i am not religious.
the feeling got so intense, that i started praying. sending love to this beast.
after that, the feeling left me for 10 mins, then the voice returned, telling me to look to my left.
as i did a giant shark was jumping sideways out of the water, 10 metres away. i shat it, went in.
before i spoke a word my friend at the carpark who is slightly phsycic says"whow youve been xrayed by a shark"
at 4 hours later, driving home, i pulled over and was still shaking, not cause i was scared or stirred up, but because i had drained all my energy, it felt like id just had a fight with a bull, or a car.
6 years later, my same friend tuned into that more, telling me that i healed the shark, it was hurt or angry.
it goes to show, that love can save you.
