Injidup Carpark Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way.

We’ve got a solid run of surf ahead, but it’s not all smooth sailing. The first couple of days are a bit of a write-off with messy, wind-affected waves. The real magic starts to build from Monday the 7th, and there’s a couple of absolute crackers hidden in the forecast that you won’t want to miss.

Injidup Carpark is our only spot on the radar. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing too wild there.

Alright, Friday the 4th is a no-go. We’ve got a big 16ft WSW swell, but the wind is a nasty cross-shore, making it lumpy and choppy. The energy is pumping, but it’s just ugly. Saturday gets worse with onshore winds and rain. Sunday the 6th cleans up a bit with a cross-offshore breeze, but the conditions are still marginal. The swell is 15ft with a solid 12-second period, but the wind is strong.

Now, Monday the 7th morning is where it starts to get interesting. The swell drops to a still solid 12ft from the SW, but the wind goes light and cross-offshore. The period stretches to a very long 16 seconds – that’s proper groundswell. This is a classic setup for Injidup Carpark, a reef break that loves this direction. The long period means the waves will have real power and shape, with longer lulls between sets. The energy is strong (6516), and the conditions are clean. This is a standout for experienced surfers, not a beginner wave at this size.

But the real jewel in the crown is Tuesday the 8th. The swell holds at 13ft from the WSW, but the period is a dreamy 17 seconds. The morning session has a moderate offshore breeze, and the afternoon? Glassy. Absolutely glassy, with no wind at all. The energy is massive (8467), and the description says "exceptional surf conditions for expert surfers." This is the best of the best. The waves will be big, powerful, and perfectly groomed. This is a serious session for the experienced crew only. If you’re a beginner, stay well clear of this.

After that, the swell slowly backs off through the rest of the week. Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th still have clean, rideable surf, but it’s much smaller and less consistent. The wind stays OK, but the magic is gone.

The following weekend, Saturday the 12th, is another write-off with a near-gale onshore wind. That’s a hard pass. Sunday and Monday the 13th and 14th are lumpy and messy again.

Then, look at Tuesday the 15th. The morning session has a 12ft SW swell with a 16-second period, a light offshore breeze, and clean conditions. The energy is strong (6769), and it’s described as "exceptional surf conditions for expert surfers." This is another absolute standout. It’s a bit smaller than the 8th, but the conditions look perfect.

Wednesday the 16th morning is also a serious contender. The swell is back up to 15ft from the SW, with a 16-second period, a moderate offshore breeze, and the highest energy reading of the whole forecast at 10894. The afternoon goes glassy again. This is a massive, powerful swell, and with clean conditions, it will be a day for the experts.

The last few days of the outlook show a drop in size and quality, with the wind turning onshore again. The 18th has a small, clean 7ft swell with glassy conditions, which could be a fun, smaller session for those who are comfortable.

So, to wrap it up: Tuesday the 8th is the absolute peak – big, clean, glassy, and powerful. Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th are your other top-tier days for the experienced crew. Be patient, pick your window, and don’t get tempted by the messy days. This is Injidup, so it can be inconsistent, but when it fires, it’s world-class.

Rusty.
