Injidup Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's coming up for Injidup Point. The next couple of weeks have some serious swell on the cards, but it's not all going to be pretty. We've got a few days of messy, unrideable conditions before we finally score a window of absolute magic.

The water temperature is sitting at 20°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might get away with a slightly thinner wetsuit.

Alright, the first bit of action is a bit of a tease. Sunday the 2nd has a 10 ft swell from the SW with a 13-second period, but the wind is a light cross-onshore. The combined wave energy is moderate at 2757, but it's only rated as marginal, so I wouldn't get too excited.

Monday the 3rd is a write-off with moderate onshore winds and choppy conditions. We then have a few days of solid, but messy, surf. Tuesday the 4th sees a big jump in size with a 12 ft swell from the WSW, but the wind is a moderate cross-shore, creating a chop. Energy is strong at 8095. Wednesday the 5th is even bigger, with a 15 ft swell from the WSW, but the cross-onshore wind keeps it fairly choppy. Thursday the 6th is a no-go, with strong onshore winds making a mess of the 13 ft swell.

Now, here's where it gets interesting. The first real standout is Friday the 7th. The wind swings cross-offshore from the SW, cleaning up a solid 13 ft to 15 ft swell from the WSW. The combined energy is pumping around 7448 to 8526. This is a strong, powerful groundswell with a 15 to 16-second period, and it's clean. This is for experienced surfers only, as it's well over 8 ft.

But the absolute session to circle on your calendar is Saturday the 8th. The morning is clean with a 16 ft SW swell (13074 energy), but the afternoon is the pick. The wind goes to a true offshore from the S, and the swell is still 16 ft from the SW. The combined energy is a massive 11487. This is exceptional surf for expert surfers. The long period (16 seconds) will be pushing a lot of water, but Injidup Point can handle that. It's a point break, so it'll peel beautifully.

The surf stays solid through the second week, but conditions are a bit more variable. Monday the 10th looks clean with a 12 ft SW swell and cross-offshore winds from the SE. Then, Tuesday the 11th is a massive one. We're looking at a 23 ft to 26 ft SW swell with insane energy readings of 29087 and 34451. The wind is light, but this is simply too big for Injidup Point. This is for the absolute elite big-wave chargers or maybe just a good day to watch from the cliffs.

After that, we get a nice run of clean conditions. Wednesday the 12th has a 13 ft to 16 ft SSW swell with light offshore winds, and the afternoon is glassy. Thursday the 13th is a write-off with strong onshore winds. Friday the 14th is also a no-go.

We finish the run with a couple of solid days. Saturday the 15th sees the swell drop to 8 ft to 12 ft from the SW, with clean, cross-offshore winds from the SE. This is excellent for experienced surfers. Sunday the 16th is a bit of a mess again, but Monday the 17th finishes up with a clean, 12 ft WSW swell and a light offshore wind from the S. A solid end to the run.

So, the clear standout is Saturday the 8th. If you can only get in one session, make it that afternoon. For the following week, keep an eye on Monday the 10th, Wednesday the 12th, and Saturday the 15th. The 11th is for the big-wave crew only.

Stay safe out there.
