Ingrina Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, I’m gonna switch it up for you imperial users. Same story, different numbers.

This forecast is a real bummer for the region. The first surf to talk about is at Ingrina, a reef break that’s sheltered and inconsistent, and it’s showing us exactly why.

We’re looking at a long, flat spell. From Monday 7th September, all the way through the week and into the next, there’s practically nothing. A tiny 0.3ft wave from the west shows up on Thursday 10th, but it’s got so little energy (3) it’s not worth mentioning. The wind is often offshore or cross-off, so the water is clean, but you can’t surf what isn’t there. This dry stretch lasts for over a week, and the guidance confirms this spot just doesn’t fire often.

The first real tease doesn’t come until Friday 18th September. A small south swell pushes in at 0.3ft, with a 15-second period—that’s classic long-period groundswell, which is a good fit for a reef. The energy is still weak (6), and the wind is light cross-off in the morning, keeping it glassy. Still, it’s barely a bump.

The best of a bad bunch is the morning of Saturday 19th September. That same 0.3ft south swell is there, with a 14-second period, and the energy ticks up to 8. The wind is light offshore from the north-northeast, which means clean, glassy conditions. For an inconsistent reef, this is the window. The swell direction from the south is close enough to the optimum southwest that it might wrap in okay.

Water temperature is 68°, which is a bit colder than usual for the season—about 3° below average. You’ll want a 4/3.

After that, it’s back to flat. The energy drops, and by Monday 22nd, there’s nothing. No power, no size, no real reason to wax up. A lean stretch.

Rusty.
