Injidup Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ at Injidup Point.

We’ve got a solid run of surf stretching right across the forecast period, kicking off this Saturday morning and rolling through to the middle of September. There’s no real flat spell – just a couple of sessions where the wind or conditions get a bit messy. The standout for me sits on Monday the 7th of September afternoon. That session has a head-high plus 10ft southwest groundswell with a generous 16 second period, and the wind is out of the southwest at 15 km/h, giving us clean cross-off conditions. The wave energy is pumping hard (4808). This is a classic Injidup Point day – long period groundswell wrapping into the break, bringing proper shape and push. Because it’s a point break, that long period won’t close out; it’ll give you nice, peeling lines. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so expect a few mates out.

The other one that’s worthy of a mention is Saturday afternoon on the 29th. It’s not the cleanest, with a 12 mph easterly breeze making it cross, but the swell is a solid 10ft from the southwest at 17 seconds, carrying a whole lot of energy (4677). It’s a bit lumpy but still surfable.

Water temp is 64°F, with an anomaly of 1° – pretty much spot on for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.

Now, let’s run through the rest. Saturday morning (29th) – clean cross-off winds with a 7ft southwest swell, 16 second period, moderate energy (3123). It’s a bit on the small side but workable. Sunday morning (30th) gets a bit rougher with a 12 mph cross-on, so the 10ft swell gets a bit choppy. Sunday afternoon lightens up with the wind dropping to 6 mph, still cross-on, but the swell holds at 10ft (WSW, 16 sec). Monday morning (31st) – forget it, rain and a strong cross-shore. Monday afternoon cleans right up with a 25 mph offshore from the south-southwest, but that’s a stiff breeze; the 10ft swell will be clean but tough to paddle into.

Tuesday (1st Sept) shapes up nicely – morning is glassy clean with a 9 mph cross-off, 10ft from the WSW at 16 seconds (4761). By afternoon, it’s even better – 14 seconds, 10ft, cross-off, and labelled excellent for experienced surfers. That’s a gem. Wednesday (2nd) stays clean but the period drops a bit. Thursday (3rd) is a total write-off – strong winds and lumpy chop. Friday (4th) shows a 13ft southwest swell with a fresh offshore in the morning, clean conditions – big and powerful. That’s for the crew who can handle it.

Saturday the 5th of September – huge 15ft swell, but winds are howling. Poor conditions, might be more of a kite day if you’re into that. Sunday the 6th settles back with 12-10ft, clean cross-off winds. Then we hit the standout on Monday the 7th afternoon. Tuesday the 8th is okay but with lighter onshore winds. Wednesday the 9th gets a bit bumpy again.

The second week sees a gradual drop-off. Friday the 11th has 8ft swell but onshore winds. Saturday the 12th has 6-7ft, clean but dropping. Sunday the 13th is a last hurrah with an 8ft southwest swell, 17 second period – nice light winds. That’s worth a look if you’re hanging for one more before the run ends.

All in all, it’s a solid couple of weeks. The best score is Monday the 7th of September afternoon.

Rusty.
