The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s get straight into it.
Right now, Injidup Point is the only game in town, and it’s got some serious juice on the way. The water’s sitting at 66°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s a nice little bonus. We’re looking at a solid run of swell, but it’s not all smooth sailing – there’s a big gap at the start with no real surf on offer until Wednesday the 12th, so you’ll be waiting a few days.
The first standout hits Wednesday afternoon, the 12th. Injidup Point is pumping with a 13ft SW swell, a long 15-second period, and combined energy of 5889 – that’s strong wave energy. The wind is a cross-off at 9 mph, keeping things clean. This is expert territory at that size, so don’t bring the groms. Thursday morning, the 13th, is even better: glassy conditions with a NNE breeze at 3 mph, the same 13ft SW swell, and the period stretches to 16 seconds, bumping the energy to 7979. That’s exceptional surf for experts – long-period groundswell like this will really peel at a point break like Injidup, with nice long gaps between sets for an easy paddle. Thursday afternoon keeps it clean with a 13ft SW swell, 17-second period, and energy at 8473 – a gem.
Friday morning, the 14th, is a bit messy with a cross-on wind, but the afternoon glass-off with a 10ft SW swell and 15-second period is worth a look. The weekend turns ugly: Saturday and Sunday the 15th and 16th are blown out with onshore winds, and Monday the 17th is a write-off with near-gale winds and a 15ft WSW swell – that’s kite-surfing conditions, not paddle surfing.
The next real highlight comes Tuesday morning, the 18th. Injidup Point has a 15ft WSW swell, 16-second period, and energy at 10140. The wind is a cross-off at 12 mph, and it’s clean. That’s strong wave energy and a big swell – experts only. Wednesday the 19th is a mess again with those strong winds, but Thursday the 20th sees a massive 20ft WSW swell, 17-second period, and energy hitting 20819 – that’s very strong wave energy. It’s clean with a cross-off wind, but the model says it’s too big for this break, so unless you’re a madman, steer clear.
Friday the 21st is marginal but clean, and then we hit another standout: Saturday the 22nd, both morning and afternoon, deliver a 15ft SW swell, 15-second period, and energy around 8461. The wind is a gentle cross-off at 9 mph, and it’s glassy. That’s exceptional surf for experts – clean, powerful, and consistent. This is the best on offer in the second week.
The run fades from Sunday the 23rd onward, with onshore winds and lumpy conditions through to Thursday the 27th. The last few days are poor, with cross-on winds and dropping swell.
In short, the pick of the period is Thursday morning, the 13th, with that glassy, long-period SW groundswell at Injidup Point. If you’re an expert, it doesn’t get much better. Just keep an eye on the long-range Saturday the 22nd – it’s promising but less certain this far out.

Information about the Injidup Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Injidup Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Injidup Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Injidup Point surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Injidup Point) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Injidup Point may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Injidup Point is 73 km (45 miles) from the city of Bunbury. If you plan a holiday in Margaret River, look for hotels and other accommodation in Bunbury. Bunbury has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
