The Lowdown
Right, let’s switch it up for you, mate. Rusty here with the same look in numbers you might be more used to.
Water temp is about 66°F, just a touch warmer than average for Injidup Carpark – a reef setup.
The next several days are a slog. Saturday the 15th has waves around 8ft from the WSW with a 13-second period, but a light cross-breeze just messes with it. Not great. From Sunday the 16th right through to Thursday the 20th, it’s mostly blown out. Strong winds, big lumpy swell – Monday the 17th sees 13ft to 16ft from the W and WSW with combined energy readings in the thousands (7831 and 7790), but it’s all cross-onshore and messy. That’s kite-surf territory, not paddle. Tuesday the 18th morning has a window with 15ft WSW swell and 16-second period with offshore wind, but it’s still marginal.
Now, the real deal is Friday the 21st of August. Morning has a 13ft groundswell from the SW with a 14-second period and a clean offshore wind from the E at 12 mph. The energy’s pumping (6085). Then the afternoon goes glassy with a slight breeze from the ENE. That’s for experienced surfers only – over 8ft is big, and at 13ft, it’s serious. The direction is perfect for this reef. It’s inconsistent, and you might have company, but the quality will be top shelf.
Saturday the 22nd stays clean with a glassy afternoon and 8ft SW swell. Sunday the 23rd keeps the clean theme with glassy and cross-off winds, though the swell drops to 7ft to 8ft. Still quality.
Monday the 24th onward gets sloppy again. The very end of the period shows some big 12ft to 13ft WSW swell with long periods around the 29th and 30th, but it’s cross-onshore or lumpy.
Bottom line: struggle through the first part of the week, then nail Friday the 21st and the following weekend. That’s your window.

Information about the Injidup Carpark Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Injidup Carpark provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Injidup Carpark can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
