The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what this stretch of coast has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
The key player here is Injidup Carpark, a reef set-up that’s a beginner-friendly spot but you’ll want to keep your wits about you because it's inconsistent. Early on, there's a bit of a wait before anything really turns on, with the first few days being a write-off thanks to messy winds and onshores.
The real standout is Sunday the 6th of September. We’re looking at a solid 15ft groundswell out of the SW, with a nice long period of 14 seconds. The wind is light and offshore from the ESE in the morning, so it’ll be clean. This is going to be pushing some serious energy through the reef (7631), even if the wave comment says it’s for expert surfers – that’s because the size is big, not because the wave is nasty. The water temperature anomaly is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.
Earlier, on Friday the 4th of September, there’s a monster 20ft SW swell rolling in, but the wind is a strong cross-shore and it’s just too messy. The combined energy is through the roof at 17622, but with that wind, it’s more of a spectacle than a surfer’s session. Later that afternoon the wind eases to a fresh breeze, but it’s still not worth paddling out in my book.
We also get a nice little window on Wednesday the 9th of September. The morning sees a 7ft WSW swell with glassy conditions – zero wind – and the wave comment flags it as excellent for experienced surfers. The energy is moderate at 1754, but that clean surface will make for a rewarding paddle at Injidup.
Later in the second week, Sunday the 13th of September shows some potential. A 15ft WSW swell with a period of 13 seconds pushes a massive 11292 units of energy through in the afternoon, and the wind is light onshore from the WNW. It’s marginal but the raw power is there, making it one for the bigger board and a patient attitude.
For the rest, it’s a mix of onshore chop and poor conditions. Crowds are only *sometimes* an issue at Injidup Carpark, but on the big days you can expect a few keen locals about.
This is Rusty, signing off.
