Injidup Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, it’s Rusty. Alright, we’ve got a solid run of swell heading into Injidup Point over the next couple of weeks. It’s a point break that needs a decent SW groundswell to fire, and we’ve got plenty of that coming. The water temp is sitting right around average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.

The pattern starts on Thursday the 10th of September, but don’t get too excited yet. Thursday morning is a write-off – the wind is howling out of the NE at 16 mph, cross-onshore, and the surf is a messy 6 ft with poor conditions. Thursday afternoon lightens up, wind flips onshore from the NNW at just 3 mph, but the forecast is a bit iffy on tide windows. The swell holds around 6 ft from the WSW with a long 15-second period, but it’s not clean enough to call it a goer. Combined energy is moderate at 1796.

Friday the 11th is a no-go. Winds are up again, 19 mph from the NNE in the morning, 16 mph from the north in the afternoon, all cross-on or onshore. The swell builds to 8 ft with a 18-second period in the afternoon, but the wind destroys it. Energy jumps to 4402, but it’s messy.

The first real glimmer comes Saturday the 12th of September. Morning sees a clean 8 ft SW groundswell, 16-second period, with a cross-offshore breeze from the west at 16 mph. The energy is strong at 3362, and the waves should be holding shape. This is a solid option for experienced surfers – the size is on the edge of being too much for beginners. Saturday afternoon gets a bit more size, 10 ft, but the wind goes cross-shore and the chop creeps in.

Sunday the 13th stays big, with 8 ft to 12 ft and a fresh cross-shore breeze. Not ideal, but the afternoon clean-up is marginal. Keep an eye on it.

Now, here’s the standout – Monday the 14th of September. Monday afternoon at Injidup Point is the best of the first week. The swell is a pumping 12 ft from the WSW, 14-second period, and the wind swings offshore from the SSW at 12 mph. The combined energy is massive at 5153, and the report calls it excellent for experienced surfers. This is a true heavy-water session – only for the well-prepared. The crowds can be a factor here sometimes, but on a Monday with that size, it might thin out.

Tuesday the 15th keeps the quality going. Morning has a clean 10 ft with a light cross-offshore breeze from the SSE at 6 mph. The energy sits at 3815. Afternoon sees a fresh offshore wind from the south at 19 mph, dropping the swell to 8 ft, but still clean. Wednesday the 16th morning is glassy with a 8 ft SW groundswell, 16 seconds, and a light cross-offshore breeze. The energy is 3383. That’s another very good session.

We get a bit of a lull from Thursday the 17th through to Friday the 18th – strong onshore winds and rain, with the swell dropping. The surf is poor, and the energy falls to 1393. That’s a couple of days to skip.

Saturday the 19th of September brings it back. The afternoon is a beauty: 8 ft from the WSW, 14 seconds, with a moderate offshore wind from the SSW at 16 mph. Energy is 3112, and the conditions are clean. Excellent for experienced surfers again.

Sunday the 20th is a bit of a mixed bag. The swell holds at 10 ft from the SW, 13-14 seconds, but the wind is onshore or cross-shore. Not the best, but still surfable.

Then we get a big pulse on Monday the 21st of September. The morning swell is 13 ft from the SW, 15 seconds, with a strong cross-offshore breeze from the SW at 25 mph. The energy is off the charts at 6945. That’s huge, but the wind is strong – it’s clean, but only for the absolute top-end crew. This is a standout for the second week, but it’s a long-range call, so treat it as promising, not locked in. The afternoon stays big but the wind gets too strong.

The final crack comes on Wednesday the 23rd of September. Both morning and afternoon have excellent conditions: 8-8 ft SW groundswell, 14 seconds, with a moderate offshore breeze from the south and SSE. Energy is around 2243 and 1875. Clean, consistent, and a proper way to finish the run.

Overall, if you’ve got the skills, Monday the 14th afternoon is the absolute peak of this window. For the second week, keep an eye on the 21st and 23rd. The forecast can change, but there’s plenty of swell to go around.

Rusty.
