Injidup Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's coming down the pipe for Injidup Point.

Alright, straight up, this is a long-range forecast with a lot of big numbers, so we're going to take a deep breath. The opening window is a bit of a mixed bag, but the second week is looking like a real heavyweight contender, though it's a long way out.

For the first few days, we're looking at some solid, long-period SW groundswell coming through. Tuesday the 28th is a decent start. The morning is a bit of a write-off with a light cross-shore and 10ft of swell, but the real story is the afternoon. The wind drops to glassy, and we've got a clean 8ft SW groundswell. That's a beautiful thing for a point break like Injidup. The water temp is sitting at 66°F, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year. The combined energy is pumping in the thousands (3582), so there's a lot of power in the water. If you're an advanced surfer, Tuesday afternoon is a standout for the near term.

Wednesday comes in with a bit of a cloudier sky and a cross-onshore wind that messes up the 7ft to 8ft SW swell. Thursday is worse, with a strong cross-onshore wind and onshore winds making a mess of things. Friday the 31st is a full-on blowout with gale-force winds and 12ft of slop. That's a kite-surfing day, not a paddle day.

Now, we get a little reprieve on Saturday the 1st of August. The swell is a solid 13ft from the SW with a moderate breeze coming from the east, keeping things clean. The combined energy is massive (7429). This is a big, powerful swell and it's going to be a challenge for anyone but experts. The cross-off wind on the morning session is a nice bonus.

Then we get a bit of a lull from Sunday the 2nd through to Monday the 3rd as the wind turns nasty again. It's a bit of a dead period.

But hold onto your boards, because the real action looks like it's coming in the second week. From the 5th of August, we start seeing some absolute monsters. Wednesday the 5th has a 18ft WSW groundswell with a massive 16-second period. The combined energy is astronomical (16886). But the wind is cross-onshore, so it's going to be a messy, powerful beast. It's a "marginal" call, but for the sheer size and power, it's a standout for experts only.

The true standout window, if the forecasts hold, is from the 9th of August onwards. Sunday the 9th has a 21ft WSW groundswell, with a fresh offshore wind on the afternoon session. That is a recipe for perfection at a point like Injidup. The combined energy is over 12000, which is just insane. Then Monday the 10th is looking like a diamond. Light offshore winds, 21ft WSW groundswell, and a 13 to 14-second period. The combined energy is tearing through the 14000-17000 range. This is "exceptional" quality for expert surfers. This is the one to circle on the calendar. The 11th and 12th of August just keep pumping with 23ft and 21ft swells, but often with onshore winds, so you'll need to pick your moment.

This is a serious run of swell for the second week. It's a long way out, so we're talking about a promising, but less certain, forecast. But if it comes together, August 9th, 10th and 11th are going to be absolutely legendary for the few who are brave enough.

Rusty.
