Injidup Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve been watching Injidup Point for the next couple of weeks. Short story: this spot will fire, but the wind’s going to be a tease.

We start off Wednesday afternoon, September 2nd. There’s a solid 12 ft SW groundswell (13-second period) pushing in, with combined wave energy at a beefy 3984. The water’s about 65°, pretty normal for this time of year. Wind is a cross-off from the SSW at 12 mph, keeping it clean, but it’s a tentative start.

Thursday the 3rd is a total loss. Swell still big at 13 ft, but winds from the NW and then WNW are howling onshore up to 25 mph. Messy and choppy. Skip it.

Now Friday the 4th—this is the one. The morning has a 16 ft WSW swell with a 13-second period, energy at 8085. Winds are cross-off from the SW at 19 mph, clean. That’s a lot of power. The afternoon gets even better: swell holds at 16 ft, period jumps to 15 seconds, wind drops to a gentle 9 mph cross-off, energy hits 10881, and it’s glassy clean. This is the standout session. Swell this big (over 8 ft) is for experts only, and that long period will have the waves stacking up along the point. Long lulls between sets make paddling out easier.

Saturday the 5th is a mess. Rain and strong SSW winds near gale force. Stay out.

Sunday the 6th is solid. Swell drops to 13-15 ft from the SW, 13-second period. Morning has fresh offshore S winds at 22 mph, clean, energy at 6882. Afternoon is offshore from the SSE at 16 mph, still clean, energy at 9222. Powerful, clean, but still expert-level size.

Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th both deliver excellent conditions. Monday: 12 ft SW swell, very long 16-second period, energy around 6816. Light cross-off or offshore winds, described as exceptional for experts. Tuesday: 12 ft WSW swell, again 16-second period, clean with light winds. Crowds are listed as “sometimes,” so you might have company, but it won’t be packed. These long-period swells are perfect for a point break like Injidup.

Wednesday the 9th is a mixed bag. Morning is cross-on from the NE at 16 mph, no good. But the afternoon: glassy—wind from the WSW at just 3 mph, swell at 10 ft, 15-second period, energy at 3956. Clean and excellent for experienced surfers. Worth it.

Thursday the 10th through Sunday the 13th has swell from 7-13 ft, but winds are unreliable. The clear pick in that stretch is Saturday the 12th afternoon: 12 ft WSW swell, 15-second period, light cross-off at 6 mph, energy at 6357, and excellent conditions.

Monday the 14th morning is a beauty: glassy conditions with a 10 ft WSW swell, 14-second period, energy at 3842. As clean as it gets.

Second week, from the 15th onward, the swell eases. Tuesday the 15th has 10 ft swell with fresh offshore winds—clean but smaller. Wednesday the 16th afternoon is excellent again: 8 ft WSW swell, 13-second period, light cross-off, energy at 1830. More manageable for experienced surfers. Thursday the 17th drops to about 6-6 ft with 12-second periods, clean.

Best bets? Friday afternoon the 4th and Monday the 7th through Tuesday the 8th. Big groundswell, clean winds, and Injidup cooking. Experts only for the big days. For a mellower but still quality session, aim for Monday the 14th morning or Wednesday the 16th afternoon.
