Injidup Carpark Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s break this down.

We’re looking at Injidup Carpark, and it’s got one hell of a week and a bit coming up. The water’s sitting at a pretty average 66°, nothing unusual for this time of year.

The action kicks off on Saturday afternoon, July 11th. We’ve got a solid 10ft SW groundswell with a 13-second period. The combined swell energy is a hefty 3208 – that’s proper wave energy backing it up. A clean south cross-off wind means these waves will be peeling nicely. This is a reef break, and it’s pretty inconsistent, but when it comes in, it’s a classic. With the size and the wind, this is for experienced surfers only, 10ft is serious.

Sunday the 12th is a step up in size but the wind goes a bit cross. The morning is 10ft SW at 14 seconds, but the afternoon bumps up to 12ft SW with a 17-second period. That longer period is getting into groundswell territory, which suits a reef like this. The energy is through the roof, hitting 8192 by the afternoon. Tides and messy cross-shore winds might make it a bit tricky though, so keep your eyes peeled.

Monday the 13th holds the same size, 12ft SW, with a 16-second period. The winds are light and cross, leaving some ripples. It’s still a big, powerful swell with energy in the 5000-6000 range. It’s all about picking your moment.

Tuesday the 14th is a sweet spot. Clean, clear skies, a light NE cross-off wind in the morning, and it goes glassy in the afternoon. Swell sits at a nice 10ft from the SW at 14 seconds. This is clean, powerful, and for the crew who know how to handle a reef.

Now, we hit a rough patch from Wednesday the 15th right through to Saturday the 18th. Strong winds – fresh to strong breezes – from the NW, WSW, and SW just trash the place. Swell hangs around 6ft to 10ft, and even hits 16ft on the 18th, but with 16068 units of energy and a messy cross-off/cross-on, it’s just blown out. No good.

Then Sunday the 19th. This is the standout of the entire run. Morning and afternoon, we are looking at glassy conditions with a 12ft SW swell at 14 seconds. A light SE breeze in the morning and a WSW breeze in the afternoon – both glassy. The combined energy is a meaty 5092. This is east coast perfection on a reef. It’s clean, it’s powerful, and it’s for the experienced. This is the day to clear your calendar.

Monday the 20th has a glassy afternoon, with 10ft SW swell at 12 seconds. Good, but not as clean as the day before.

From Tuesday the 21st through Thursday the 23rd, we see building swell again. The 23rd sees a massive 13ft SW at 17 seconds, with energy hitting 9736. The wind is cross from the north, making it a little lumpy, but the size is insane. Thursday afternoon looks blown out.

Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th are back to poor, windy conditions.

Finally, Sunday the 26th. We’re finishing strong. A 10ft to 12ft SW swell with a clean south cross-off wind. The energy is a very healthy 3917 to 6687. It’s a fitting end to a powerful, if uneven, two weeks.

So, if you’re picking one day, it’s Sunday the 19th of July. Glassy, 12ft, and all to yourself if the crowds don’t find you. For the brave, Tuesday the 14th is also a winner. After that, it’s a waiting game.

Rusty.
