The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got one spot on the radar for the next 16 days, and it’s a bit of a one-trick pony, but when that trick works, it’s a beauty.
We’re looking at Injidup Carpark, a reef break that’s inconsistent and for the beginner crew, but it needs the right key to unlock it. The water is sitting at 67°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – a nice little bonus for the early paddles.
The week kicks off with a bit of a messy start. Wednesday the 12th has a solid 13ft SW swell, but with a 15 km/h cross-on breeze, it’s going to be fairly choppy and not the best for a paddle. The energy is moderate to strong (6494), but the wind is the spoiler.
Now, Thursday the 13th is the standout. The morning is looking glassy with a light NNE breeze at just 5 km/h. We’ve got a 13ft SW groundswell with a long 16-second period. That’s proper energy (7979). This is going to be a clean, powerful day for the experienced crew. The long period will make the sets pulse, so give yourself time between waves. The afternoon holds a 17-second period, but the wind swings cross-shore, so the morning is the call.
Friday the 14th is another solid option. The morning is clean with a light cross-offshore NE breeze, and a 12ft SW swell (16-second period). This is excellent for experienced surfers – the energy is still strong (5535). The afternoon glass-off with a 10ft swell is a nice bonus.
The weekend gets tricky. Saturday the 15th sees a drop in size to 8ft, but the wind is up from the NNE at 25 km/h, creating a lumpy cross-chop. It’s marginal at best. Sunday the 16th is similar, with a fresh 30 km/h cross-wind and a 10ft swell. Not the one.
Then the real weather hits. From Monday the 17th through to the 23rd, it’s a write-off. We’re looking at gale-force cross-onshore winds, rain, and a complete mess. The swell is still there, massive in fact, with a 16ft+ WSW swell on the 18th and 19th, but the wind is a nightmare. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing during this stretch. The energy is very strong (over 10045 on the 18th), but it’s angry and unrideable.
We get a bit of a reprieve on Monday the 24th. The wind settles to a gentle cross-shore, and the 12ft SW swell is back to a manageable energy level (5948). It’s marginal, but worth a look.
The next real window of hope is Tuesday the 25th morning. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the ENE, and the swell drops to a more friendly 8ft from the SW. The period is a very long 20 seconds, which is a classic groundswell. This is a clean, fun option for experienced surfers, though the long period at a reef break like Injidup will mean the waves stand up tall and fast. The energy is moderate (2732), but the quality is there.
After that, the wind picks up again, and the forecast gets messy for the rest of the week. So, the clear standout is Thursday the 13th morning, with Friday the 14th morning as a close second. The Tuesday the 25th morning is a promising long-range call, but less certain this far out.
Rusty, signing off.
