Injidup Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

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

This is a classic, advanced-level point break that needs a solid SW groundswell, and it’s about to get absolutely hammered by a long run of big, powerful SW to WSW swells. The water’s sitting at 66.2°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – nothing extreme, but a nice little bonus.

The first window of decent surf hits on Saturday morning, 1st August. We’ve got a 13.1ft SW swell running at 14 seconds, with a moderate offshore breeze from the SSW. That’s proper, clean, and lined up. The energy is pumping hard at 5842, so it’s going to be a ripper. By Saturday afternoon, it’s a step up: 14.8ft SW swell, 15 seconds, and a clean south-southeast offshore. The combined energy jumps to 9249. This is the standout of the whole run – easily the best conditions on offer. It’s big though, over 13ft, so experts only. And being a point break, that long-period groundswell will wrap in beautifully, not just race straight through.

Sunday morning the 2nd, the wind swings around to the NE and turns cross-onshore, with 9.8ft SW swell at 13 seconds. It’s choppy and messy – not your day.

Monday the 3rd, glassy conditions in the morning with a 6.2ft WSW swell at 15 seconds. It’s clean, but a bit small. The afternoon picks up a clean 6.9ft swell from the same direction. A solid, fun option for experienced surfers.

Tuesday the 4th is another standout. Morning sees a 11.5ft WSW groundswell at 17 seconds, with a light cross-offshore breeze. The energy is massive at 7230, and it’s glassy clean. This is the second best call of the forecast – powerful, long-period swell, and the wind is perfect. Afternoon stays clean but the wind picks up a bit.

From Wednesday the 5th onwards, things get messy with strong cross-onshore winds and rain, but the swell stays huge – 13.1ft to 16.4ft. Thursday afternoon the 6th is worth a mention: 14.8ft WSW swell, 16 seconds, and a clean cross-offshore breeze, but the wind is a strong breeze at 25 mph. It’s clean, but wild.

The weekend of the 8th and 9th sees the swell absolutely detonate – 21.3ft to 24.6ft WSW swells with periods up to 18 seconds. The energy readings are staggering, over 34000. But it’s far too big for Injidup Point, even for experts. The waves will be maxing out and closing out. The wind is offshore, but the size is a deal-breaker.

The second week starts to fade. Monday the 10th still has 16.4ft WSW swell, but it’s blown out by a strong westerly. By Thursday the 13th, the swell drops to 8.2ft SW at 14 seconds, but the wind is cross-shore and messy. Friday the 14th is a write-off with strong onshore winds and rain. The last day, Saturday 15th, has a clean 11.5ft swell but a fresh breeze and marginal conditions.

So, the best on offer: Saturday 1st August – morning and afternoon, clean offshore, 13.1ft to 14.8ft SW swell. And Tuesday morning 4th August – 11.5ft WSW groundswell at 17 seconds, glassy. The rest is either too big, too windy, or too messy for a decent paddle. Stay sharp out there.
