The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break down what's coming for our stretch of coast.
We've got a solid run of south-west groundswell on the charts, but the wind is going to be the main factor. For a lot of the coming days, we're dealing with a cross-onshore breeze that's going to mess up the surface. The water is sitting at 66°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that's a small win.
The first real chance to get a clean one is on Friday morning, the 21st of August. Injidup Carpark will see a 12ft swell from the south-west with a 14-second period, and the wind will be a light cross-offshore from the east-northeast at 3 mph. That's a clean window, and the combined energy is moderate (4862). It's a solid wave, but at 12ft, it's pushing into the too-big-for-beginners zone. This break is a reef setup, and it's inconsistent, so don't expect a wave every minute. Crowds are *sometimes* a thing here, so you might have some company.
Saturday morning the 22nd still looks clean with a cross-offshore wind, but the swell drops to 10ft and the energy is a bit lighter (3794). It's still a good wave for those who can handle it.
The run from the 23rd through the 24th is a mixed bag. The wind stays cross-off or light, but the swell is dropping and the conditions are only marginal. The 25th and 26th get ugly with strong onshore winds and a massive 15ft swell on the 26th. That's a 17-second period groundswell with very strong energy (10790), but the wind is straight onshore, making it a total mess. That's a kite-surfing day, not a paddle day.
We get another solid window on the morning of the 28th of August. The wind swings offshore from the east at 9 mph, with a 7ft swell from the south-west. The energy is light (1385), but it'll be clean. The waves are a bit smaller, more manageable for a wider range of surfers.
After that, the 29th through the 1st of September is a write-off for clean surf. The wind is onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is all over the place. The morning of the 2nd of September shows some promise again with a light cross-offshore wind and a 10ft swell from the south-west, but that's a long way off. The energy is moderate (3188), and it looks clean, but we'll have to wait and see.
The best bet? If you're an experienced surfer, don't miss Friday morning the 21st of August. The juice is worth the squeeze. If you want something a little smaller and still clean, the 28th of August is your next best shot.
Stay salty.
