Injidup Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Grab your wettie, let’s talk about Injidup Point.

This is a proper west coast slab machine, and we’ve got a solid run of swell on the cards. Water temp is sitting at 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might get away with a slightly thinner suit if you’re brave.

Kicking off this Wednesday morning, the 19th, we’ve got a solid 15ft of WSW groundswell with a long 15 second period. It’s a bit stormy-looking with cloud, and a moderate cross-off breeze from the SW is keeping things clean. The energy is strong, clocking in at 8648. This is proper, powerful stuff. The afternoon sees the period stretch to 16 seconds and the energy jump to 9944, with the wind holding. It’s going to be a big, grunty day. This is advanced territory for sure, but for those who know the lineup, it’s going to be on.

Thursday the 20th backs off a touch to a still chunky 12ft, same WSW direction, 16-second period. Morning has a light WSW cross-off, making it glassy and clean. This is in the sweet spot. The energy is still strong at 6515. It’s a big call, but the morning session Thursday looks like the pick of the early run – excellent waves for those who can handle it.

Friday the 21st holds that 12ft, but the morning wind is a light cross-on from the ENE, which will put a few ripples on the face. The afternoon swings back around to a gentle SSW cross-off, cleaning it up nicely. Still good, but a touch less perfect than Thursday.

Saturday the 22nd sees it ease to 10ft in the morning with a gentle offshore from the SSW. Clean, peeling lines. The energy is moderate at 3953. It’s still quality, but the swell is starting to wind down.

Sunday the 23rd brings a fresh pulse. The morning has a 10ft swell with a fresh 19 mph offshore. It’s blown a bit, but will be groomed and hollow. The afternoon bumps up to 12ft with a 16-second period and moderate offshore wind. This is another solid period, and the energy is back up to 5471.

Monday the 24th is where it gets a little soft. The swell is still 10ft but the wind is onshore and it’s getting a bit messy. Not the day for it unless you’re desperate.

Tuesday the 25th is a write-off. The swell drops and the wind is choppy onshore. Poor conditions, look elsewhere.

Now, here’s the standout. Wednesday the 26th. We’ve got a new, significant pulse of long-period WSW groundswell. The morning shows 16ft at 16 seconds, with the combined energy hitting a massive 12633. That is strong, very strong energy. The wind is a fresh cross-off from the WSW, keeping it clean. The afternoon holds close to that size at 15ft. This is the biggest, most powerful day of the window. It’s going to be a washing machine out there, only for experts. This is a real highlight.

Thursday the 27th is still big, 12ft, with a moderate offshore from the SSE. Clean and powerful, but the main event has passed.

From Friday the 28th, the swell starts to fade. The energy drops into the moderate range. There’s a fun little pulse on Saturday the 29th with a long 17-second period, but the swell is only 5ft. It’s clean in the afternoon, would be a fun one for the right board.

The last day of August, the 31st, is getting blown out. We’re talking near gale to gale-force winds. Don’t bother.

The run into September has more energy but it’s a mixed bag. Tuesday the 1st looks clean with a 12ft SW swell and gentle offshore winds – that’s a good one. But then the wind goes onshore again for the 2nd and 3rd, chopping things up.

So, my call is this: Thursday the 20th morning for the quality, but if you want pure size and power, you’re looking at Wednesday the 26th. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. It’s a week out, so treat it as promising but don’t book the day off work just yet.

This is Rusty, signing off. Stay salty.
