Injidup Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the next couple of weeks at Injidup Point. This is a serious slab, advanced stuff, and the ocean’s got a bunch of different moods lined up for us. There’s a bit of a dodgy start, a nasty run mid-week, and then some absolute gems waiting out there if you’re patient. The water temp is pretty average for this time of year, so no wild surprises there.

The first few days are a mixed bag. Tuesday the 15th starts off messy with a cross-shore wind and a 10ft SW swell, the energy is strong (3665), but it’s not clean. However, the afternoon turns it on – the wind swings offshore and it cleans right up. Still 10ft of SW swell (3280), and this is a proper, powerful wave for those who know what they’re doing. That’s your first real window.

Wednesday the 16th sees the swell drop to 7ft, but the morning wind is junk. The afternoon is where it’s at – the wind goes glassy, and that 5ft SW swell (1101) turns into clean, fun lines. Not huge, but the conditions will be perfect. That’s a good one.

Then we hit a wall. Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th are blown out – strong onshore winds and chopped-up surf. Friday’s wind is near gale force, so just forget about it. The swell is building, but it’s a washing machine out there. Saturday the 19th is still messy, with a big 12ft SW swell (5286) but a fresh cross-shore wind. Not worth your time unless you like frustration.

Sunday the 20th and Monday the 21st stay in the poor-to-average zone – cross-onshore winds and lumpy conditions. The swell is there, but the quality is gone. You’re better off waiting.

Things start to turn around Tuesday the 22nd. The wind backs off to a cross-offshore, and the swell holds at 10ft (3193) in the morning, pushing to 12ft (5153) by the afternoon with a longer period. This is a proper point-break day – powerful, clean, and lined up. This is a standout.

Now, for the true highlight of the whole stretch, mark your calendar for Thursday the 24th. The wind goes offshore, and we get a solid 13ft to 15ft SW swell (6665 to 8053). It’s big and clean. This is expert territory for sure – over 8ft, so only the brave need apply.

But then comes the giant. On Friday the 25th, the ocean absolutely turns it on. We’re talking a massive 18ft SW groundswell with an 18-second period (20093 energy). The wind is offshore and the tides are right, but this is going to be too big for this break. It’s one for the photographers and the tow crews, not for the average paddle surfer. The following morning, Saturday the 26th, it drops to a still-serious 12ft SW swell (6784) with clean offshore wind. That’s your other standout – big, clean, and powerful.

Sunday the 27th pulls back to a friendlier 7ft SW swell (1622) with glassy morning conditions – a perfect recovery day. The second week eases off, with a few more clean windows, particularly Tuesday the 29th and Wednesday the 30th with offshore winds and solid 8ft to 10ft SW swells.

Overall, don’t bother with the first few days unless you’re keen on the Tuesday afternoon. The real gems are the 22nd, the 24th, and the 26th. The 25th is just too big. And remember, this is a point break, so those long-period swells will be at their absolute best. Stay safe, pick your moments, and score.

Rusty.
