Injidup Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, it’s Rusty.

We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag coming up here at Injidup Point over the next couple of weeks. The overall pattern shows some solid swell hanging around for a while, but the wind and conditions will really make or break it. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing out of the ordinary.

The first real call is Sunday the 13th, but honestly, it’s a write-off. You’re looking at a stormy 10ft to 12ft WSW swell with a period around 13-14 seconds, and a strong cross wind out of the WNW at 16 mph making it choppy and messy. The combined energy is strong (3421), but with that cross-chop, it’s not worth paddling out. Sunday afternoon is similar with a bit more size.

Monday the 14th shows some hope. The swell holds at 12ft from the SW, period 14 seconds, but the wind swings around to the ESE at 12 mph, giving us a clean cross-off breeze. The energy is very strong (5140) and the surf is clean, but the scores are only average. It’s big and powerful, so this is only for experienced surfers.

Tuesday the 15th afternoon is where it starts to get interesting. The swell is still 10ft from the SW, 14 seconds, but the wind turns offshore out of the SSW at 12 mph. It’s clean, the energy is strong (3280), and conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. This is the first standout, but it’s big – over 8ft – so it’s experts only.

Wednesday the 16th through Thursday the 17th, the swell drops a touch but the wind turns onshore and poor. Avoid it, nothing happening.

Friday the 18th brings a big southerly blow with winds at 28 mph. The swell picks back up to 10ft from the WSW with a 15-second period, and that south wind gives a strong offshore – but it’s howling. The energy is very strong (4076), but paddling into those waves will be a battle. Only for the keenest locals.

Saturday the 19th afternoon sees another clean offshore from the south at 22 mph with an 12ft SW swell. It’s clean but windy, and the energy is massive (4863). Still, the wind is strong so it’s not perfect.

Now, the true standout is Monday the 21st of September. The morning is glassy – no wind, just a slight air – with an 12ft SW swell and a very long 16-second period. The energy is huge (5921) and the conditions are excellent for experienced surfers. The afternoon is even better: 13ft SW swell, 16 seconds, and a clean cross-off breeze. Energy is massive (7237) and it’s called exceptional for expert surfers. This is the best session of the whole outlook, but that size and period mean it’s not for the faint-hearted. Perfect for Injidup’s point setup.

There’s another big one on Wednesday the 23rd of September. The morning has a 13ft SW swell with a very long 18-second period, light offshore wind, and energy through the roof (9474). Score is the highest of the whole run. This is another standout for expert surfers – very long period groundswell like that will groove perfectly down the point, but at beach breaks it tends to break too straight. Here, it’s ideal.

The rest of that week holds good size and clean conditions, but the wind picks up again towards the end. Friday the 25th morning has a 16ft SW swell – that’s massive, only for the very brave – with gentle offshore wind. Energy is huge (6962), but anything over 8ft is expert territory.

Saturday the 26th and Sunday the 27th fade into onshore slop. The last day on the 28th is poor with onshores.

So to sum it up: your best windows are Tuesday the 15th afternoon, Monday the 21st, and Wednesday the 23rd. The 21st and 23rd are the real standouts – don’t miss that glassy morning on the 21st if you’ve got the skills. It’s big, powerful, and clean.

Rusty.
