Injidup Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up.

We’ve got Injidup Point (Western Australia) as the only show in town for the next couple of weeks. Water temp is sitting at 65°F with a positive anomaly of 2°F, so it’s running a touch warmer than average for this time of year – not a game-changer, but a nice little bonus when you’re sitting in the lineup.

The first real opportunity doesn’t show until Thursday the 27th of August. Thursday morning brings a solid 13ft SW groundswell with a long 15-second period, combined energy of 6290 (strong), and a clean SSE offshore breeze at 16 mph. This is big, powerful swell – definitely for experienced surfers only. That afternoon the wind picks up to 22 mph, still offshore, but the swell drops a touch to 12ft. Still clean, but the strength of the wind makes it tougher.

Friday the 28th is a step down in size – 7ft to 6ft SW swell, periods around 12 seconds. South-easterly winds are cross-offshore in the morning, then turning offshore in the afternoon. Energy is moderate (1442 to 1016). It’s clean, but the quality is a bit marginal. Not a standout, but a solid session if you’re keen.

Saturday the 29th is a mixed bag. Morning has 7ft SW swell with a very long 16-second period and cross-shore easterly winds at 16 mph. The long period means the waves will be powerful and well-shaped at Injidup Point, but the cross-shore wind will chop things up. Afternoon pumps up to 10ft SW with a 17-second period and 4856 energy, but still cross-shore winds. It’s lumpy, but the raw power is there.

The real standout? That’s got to be Tuesday the 1st of September. The morning session is excellent – 10ft WSW swell (14-second period, 3978 energy) and a gentle SSW offshore breeze at 9 mph. This is clean, well-shaped, and made for experienced surfers. The wind is light, the lines are clean, and Injidup Point will be working beautifully. It’s the pick of the whole forecast.

After that, we get a bit of a wild stretch. Thursday the 4th of September is messy – Friday morning brings a 16ft W swell with a short 9-second period and a near-gale WSW wind at 31 mph. That’s more kite-surfing territory than paddle surfing. But Friday afternoon? That’s a massive 23ft WSW swell, 12-second period, 14471 energy – huge, but with a 22 mph cross-offshore wind. Only for the brave and the very skilled.

Then Saturday the 5th of September morning is the second true standout. 18ft WSW swell, 14-second period, 10938 energy, and a gentle southerly offshore at 9 mph. This is exceptional surf for experts – huge, clean, and powerful. Afternoon drops a bit to 15ft but stays offshore, still very good.

The second week from the 7th onward is a mix of solid swells and lumpy cross-shore winds. The 7th Monday afternoon looks promising – 15ft WSW swell, 15-second period, 8296 energy, and a moderate cross-offshore breeze. Clean and powerful. The 8th Tuesday morning is also big – 15ft SW, 16-second period, 9663 energy – but cross-shore winds will put a lip on it.

Bottom line: Injidup Point is the only break on the cards, and it’s got some absolute gems if you’re experienced and can handle the size. Tuesday 1st September morning is the best all-rounder for conditions. Saturday 5th September morning is the big-wave session for the hardcore crew. Everything else is a mix of clean but marginal, or big but messy. Stay safe out there.

Rusty.
