The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here with the local surf outlook for Injidup Carpark. Let’s keep it simple: there’s heavy groundswell coming, but the wind is gonna be a fight.
The water’s about normal for this time of year, nothing unusual. The whole forecast period is dominated by big WSW groundswell – heights from 12ft to 21ft, with periods mostly between 15 and 18 seconds, so that’s long-period, powerful stuff. The combined energy numbers are huge: 7350, 10372, and a massive 37235 – that’s strong to very strong wave energy. But the wind is the story: mostly cross-onshore or onshore, which will keep the surface messy.
The one to circle is Saturday, August 8th, morning. The swell is 21ft from the SW, period 15 seconds, energy at 37235 – that’s an absolute beast. The wind is cross-shore at 22 mph, so it’ll be lumpy. This is a reef break, fairly exposed to the SW, and only for experts. The crowd can be “sometimes” there, but on a day this big, it’ll be a select crew. The long-period swell will wrap nicely into the reef, but it’s heavy, raw, and dangerous for anyone not dialed in.
Tuesday, August 11th is another solid call. Morning: 18ft swell, 16-second period, energy at 14537, and a cross-offshore wind at 12 mph. The report says “clean” – that’s about as good as it gets for this stretch. The reef will handle that groundswell well, and the afternoon holds 16ft with a light cross-shore breeze. It’s not as big as Saturday, but it’s cleaner and more surfable.
The first week has some other days, but most are blown out. Wednesday the 5th has 15ft swell but light cross-onshore winds – borderline. Thursday the 6th through Monday the 10th are mostly messy with strong winds and poor surf conditions.
Second week is a bit of a gamble. Monday, August 17th looks promising: 15ft WSW swell, 16-second period, 9447 energy, and a light cross-shore breeze from the NNE. It’s a long way off, but worth watching. The 13th and 14th of August have smaller swell (8ft to 10ft) and mostly onshore winds, so not much to write home about. The 16th of August jumps back up to 18ft to 20ft, but the wind is cross-onshore again, so the quality will suffer.
The clear standout is that Saturday morning on the 8th – massive, raw, and for experts only. Tuesday the 11th is the next best, with better wind. Everything else is a gamble or a disappointment.
Rusty out.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Injidup Carpark may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
