The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve got the lowdown on Injidup Carpark for the next couple of weeks. It’s a reef break that’s fairly exposed to the swell and likes it from the WSW, but it’s inconsistent – so when it’s on, it’s a treat, but you’ve gotta be patient.
The water’s sitting at 67°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – you might not need the thickest wetsuit.
Monday the 3rd is a write-off. There’s a 6ft SW swell, but it’s cross-shore and messy with moderate breeze. Tuesday’s the same story – a bigger 12ft groundswell but cross-onshore wind and chop. Not worth paddling out.
Then Wednesday the 5th starts to look interesting. 15ft of WSW groundswell (16-second period) with light onshore wind. The combined energy is massive (10504) – this is serious wave power. The wind is light, but it’s onshore, so it’ll be a bit lumpy. Still, for the experienced crew, this is big and has push. Thursday’s back to cross-onshore, so not great.
Friday the 7th gets messy again with strong wind, and Saturday the 8th is pumping – 20ft of SW groundswell hitting 16 seconds, but the wind is strong cross-shore. The energy is through the roof (16561 on Saturday arvo), but it’s gonna be a washing machine. Kite surfers might love it, but for paddle surfing, it’s a miss.
Now, Sunday the 9th is still sizeable at 15ft, but cross-onshore wind spoils it.
The real standout is Tuesday the 11th. Glassy. 16ft of SW groundswell with a 16-second period, and the wind is from the south at just 3 mph – glassy conditions. The combined energy is 12248. This is a rare, clean, big-swell day on a reef that’s inconsistent. For expert surfers only – this is too big for anyone else. It’s the best on offer.
Wednesday the 12th is clean again with offshore wind from the ESE at 6 mph, and a 12ft SW groundswell (13 seconds). Better for the experienced crowd, but still solid.
Thursday the 13th is another beauty – 15ft of SW groundswell, 19-second period (very long-period groundswell), and cross-offshore wind. Clean lineups, but that long period means it’ll be a bit straight at the beach; on a reef like this, it should wrap in nicely. Combined energy is 13462. Another standout.
Friday the 14th arvo has glassy conditions with 13ft SW swell – clean and fun for the experienced. Saturday the 15th stays clean in the morning at 15ft, but the wind picks up a bit.
From the 16th onward, it gets wind-affected again, with onshore and cross-shore winds, and the swell drops. Tuesday the 18th morning has clean conditions with 13ft SW groundswell and light offshore wind – a good, solid session for those who know the wave.
Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so on the standout days, expect a few locals out. All in all, the 11th and the 13th are your two best windows – big, clean, and powerful. Don’t be late.
