When to visit Busselton
High and low season in Busselton
Summer (December through February) is peak season in Busselton, with warm, dry weather drawing visitors to the beach and the iconic Busselton Jetty. Families and holidaymakers fill the area over the school holidays, so accommodation books up quickly. If you're planning a summer trip, securing your stay well in advance is a smart move.
Visiting outside of summer means fewer crowds and more breathing room, and you'll often find better accommodation availability and pricing. Winter brings cooler, wetter conditions, and some outdoor experiences are less enjoyable in the rain. That said, the area stays relatively mild year-round, and the jetty and surrounding foreshore are worth a visit in any season.
Busselton hosts a number of well-regarded events across the year, including the Busselton Jetty Swim, a popular open-water swimming event held in summer. The Busselton Visitor Centre is a reliable starting point for finding out what's on during your stay, and local accommodation staff can often point you toward community events and activities happening nearby.
