Injidup Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here, and we’ve got a solid run of surf ahead for Injidup Point. The water’s sitting at 66°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, so you might get away with a thinner wettie.

Things kick off on Thursday morning, August 20th, with a powerful 12 ft swell out of the WSW, packing a massive 16-second period and a combined energy reading of 6515 (strong to very strong). The wind is a 9 mph cross-off from the WSW, keeping things clean. This is big, experienced surf only—it’s a point break, so the long period groundswell will wrap in nicely, but it’s not for the faint-hearted. The conditions hold through the afternoon, with a SSW cross-off.

Friday morning, August 21st, is the standout. The wind goes glassy at 3 mph from the east, with a 12 ft SW swell at 14 seconds. It’s still a serious wave, with combined energy at 4862, but the glassy conditions will make it some of the cleanest, most lined-up surf you’ll see. The afternoon picks up a 9 mph cross-off, keeping it clean.

Saturday, August 22nd, has a 10 ft SW swell with a 16-second period, and the wind goes offshore from the SSW at 9 mph in the morning, then picks up to 16 mph in the afternoon. It’s still big and powerful, with combined energy in the 3000s, so it’s for advanced crew only.

Sunday, August 23rd, sees the swell drop to 8 ft in the morning, with a 19 mph offshore wind from the SSW. It’s clean but the wind is fresh, making paddling tough. The afternoon improves with a 7 ft WSW swell at 16 seconds and a 16 mph offshore from the south.

The wind turns cross-on from Monday, August 24th, through Tuesday, August 25th, with the swell dropping to 7–8 ft. The quality goes downhill, with poor conditions on Tuesday, so it’s a skip.

Wednesday, August 26th, brings a massive spike—15 ft swell from the WSW, with a 16-second period in the morning and 17 seconds in the afternoon. Combined energy hits 10,474 and 10,682 (extreme). This is huge, powerful, and only for experts, with a cross-off wind keeping it clean. The tides might be marginal, but the energy is insane.

Thursday, August 27th, has 12 ft swell, but the wind is screaming at 28 mph from the SSW in the morning, shifting to a 31 mph near gale offshore in the afternoon. It’s clean but near impossible to paddle into. Friday, August 28th, is similar with 28 mph offshore winds and a dropping swell.

Things settle down from Saturday, August 29th, with a 5 ft WSW swell and a 20-second period in the morning—very long period, so it’ll be fat and walled at the point, but clean. The wind picks up and turns cross in the afternoon, getting lumpy.

Sunday, August 30th, is a good call with a 6 ft WSW swell at 18 seconds and a 16 mph offshore wind from the SSW. Excellent conditions for experienced surfers, with moderate offshore wind keeping it clean.

The last week of the forecast is a mixed bag. Monday, August 31st, has a 13 ft onshore mess, and Tuesday, September 1st, is poor with onshore wind. Wednesday, September 2nd, is messy, but Thursday, September 3rd, brings another big 15 ft WSW swell with a 28 mph cross-off wind, clean but wild. Friday, September 4th, is similar with 13 ft SW swell and a cross-off breeze.

The standout is easily Friday morning, August 21st—that glassy, 12 ft SW swell at Injidup Point is going to be world-class. For a big, clean, powerful session, Wednesday, August 26th, is also a standout, but it’s only for the brave.

Rusty.
