Injidup Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Gather round, crew. Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Injidup Point. It’s a classic point break set-up for advanced surfers only, and it’s fairly consistent with a decent exposure to the southwest. The water’s sitting at 64° right now, which is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

Right off the bat, things are a bit messy. This Sunday morning (August 30th) we’ve got a solid 10ft WSW swell, but that cross-on wind from the ENE at 12 mph has it chopped up and lumpy. The combined energy is strong at 6043, but it’s not doing us any favours with the wind. Sunday afternoon cleans up a little with a light NW breeze, but it’s still cross-on and the score isn’t really there. Monday (August 31st) is a write-off – fresh cross-shore winds and rain are going to make a mess of that 8ft swell. Monday afternoon does see the wind swing offshore from the south at 22 mph, and the 8ft WSW swell with a 16-second period starts to look cleaner, but it’s still a marginal call.

Tuesday (September 1st) afternoon is where we start to see some life. The swell drops to 8ft from the WSW with a 14-second period, and a gentle cross-off breeze from the WSW at 9 mph is keeping it clean. The energy is moderate at 2907. It’s not the biggest, but it’s a fun, clean wave for the experienced surfer.

Now, if you’re an expert and you want the real deal, circle Friday, September 4th. The morning has a big 18ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period, and a fresh cross-off breeze from the SSW at 19 mph keeping it clean. The energy is very strong at 15737. It’s huge, so only for the brave, but the afternoon cleans up even more with a gentle SW breeze. Saturday the 5th is a write-off with gale-force winds, so skip it entirely.

The absolute standout, though, is Monday, September 7th. Monday morning sees a massive 20ft SW swell with a 17-second period – that’s a very long-period groundswell. The energy is an insane 22447. The wind is almost non-existent from the west at 3 mph, so it’s a light cross-shore, but it’s going to be too big for this break. However, Monday afternoon is where it’s at: an 18ft SW swell, still a long 17-second period, with a light cross-off breeze from the WSW. The energy is very strong at 15874. It’s an exceptional, clean swell for experts only.

Wednesday, September 9th, offers a nice reset. The morning is glassy with a 8ft WSW swell, and a 15-second period. That’s clean, clean, clean. The afternoon has a moderate offshore from the SSW. The energy is moderate at 2665 to 3457, making it a great day for the experienced surfer who doesn’t want to get pounded.

After that, the second week gets a bit lumpy with cross-on winds again. Monday, September 14th, finishes the run on a high note: an 12ft WSW swell with a 15-second period, and a gentle cross-off from the SSW at 9 mph keeping it clean. The energy is moderate at 5246, and it’s a solid, clean wave for those who know the break.

So, the call is this: for the big, heavy, expert-only stuff, you wait for Friday, September 4th, and especially Monday, September 7th afternoon. For a cleaner, more manageable session, Tuesday, September 1st afternoon and Wednesday, September 9th are your picks. Stay safe out there.

Rusty.
