Injidup Carpark Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a solid 16-day window ahead of us, but it’s not all smooth sailing. The standout play by a long shot is the tail end of this week, specifically Saturday the 29th. After that, a big, messy swell rolls in, turning things on their head for a while before we get a glassy reprieve in the second week.

Let’s kick it off this Friday the 28th morning at Injidup Carpark. We’re looking at a clean 4ft swell from the SW, but it’s cross-off with a 15 mph breeze and the energy is reading moderate at 1527. The surf report is calling it marginal, so it’s a bit of a mixed bag—you might get a few, but it’s not the best.

Now, Saturday the 29th is the real standout. The morning kicks off with a clean 4ft SW groundswell and that long period of 16 seconds, making for some proper, powerful lines. The ESE wind is blowing a steady 15 mph but it’s offshore, keeping the faces clean. The combined energy is strong at 2992. By the afternoon, it gets even better: the swell jumps to a solid 6ft from the SW with a very long 17-second period, and the energy is pumping at 4536. The offshore wind holds with a 15 mph breeze from the E. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. This is the window to clear your schedule for.

Sunday the 30th, the swell is still hanging in there at 6ft from the WSW, but the wind shifts around. The morning has a cross-off NE breeze at 9 mph, but the surf report flags marginal tide conditions. The energy is very strong at 6043. The afternoon gets tricky as the wind turns onshore from the NW. Monday the 31st and Tuesday the 1st are write-offs with strong onshore winds and poor conditions.

We hit a real rough patch from Wednesday the 2nd of September right through Friday the 4th. The swell stays big—between 6ft and 7ft—but it’s all cross-onshore winds, making for choppy, lumpy, and poor surf. This stretch is pretty grim for a paddle surfer; honestly, with that wind and power, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

Things finally turn around on Saturday the 5th of September. That morning is a beauty: glassy conditions with a slight air and a clean 4ft SW groundswell (14-second period). The energy is at 2253, and the surf report is calling it excellent. This is the second real standout—an early morning session with clean, powerful waves. The afternoon gets a bit cross-shore, so grab it early.

Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th offer lighter, smaller surf. Sunday has a 5ft WSW swell but with light cross-shore breezes making for marginal conditions. Monday morning sees the swell drop to 2ft with a clean cross-off breeze, and the energy is low at 741. It’s small but workable.

Tuesday the 8th shows a building swell again with onshore winds, and by Wednesday the 9th, the ocean is going absolutely mental. We’re looking at a massive 13ft WSW swell with a very strong energy value of 23827. The wind and tide are favorable for the swell, but the wave height is predicted to be way too big for this break. This is for experts only, and even then, it’s a heavy, heavy call. That kind of size continues into Thursday the 10th, but with onshore winds, it turns into a complete washout.

The forecast then fades into smaller, messy surf through to the end of the window on Saturday the 12th. It’s a wild ride of a forecast, lads. The window to get it done is this Saturday the 29th. Don’t sleep on it.

Rusty.
