Injidup Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for Injidup Point over the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but don’t write it off – there’s some serious size and clean conditions on the horizon. The first few days are a bit of a mixed bag, with waves around but the quality isn't quite there yet. You’ll see some solid swell from Monday the 31st of August, but the wind is messy, making it hard to get excited. The water is sitting at 64° – that’s pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no complaints there.

Monday morning the 31st has a 8ft WSW swell with a very long 17-second period, but that cross-shore wind is going to leave it lumpy and choppy. It’s not a write-off, but it’s not a standout. The afternoon cleans up nicely with a solid offshore breeze, but the swell size and period are still building. The combined energy is high (3308) but it’s just not the best window.

Tuesday the 1st of September is where things start to turn. Still 8ft, but the wind drops right out and goes cross-offshore, leaving the surface clean. The swell period is still long, so the point should be handling it well. A solid, fun day but not the best of the run.

Wednesday the 2nd is a big step up. Swell jumps to 12ft, and the wind stays cross-offshore, clean. The period drops a bit to 13 seconds, so it’s a bit more manageable. The energy is pumping (3843). This is a serious day, but that size is pushing into expert territory.

Then we hit a bit of a lull with poor conditions on Thursday the 3rd and Friday the 4th morning is where it all clicks. Friday the 4th of September morning is the absolute standout. A massive 16ft SW swell with a 16-second period, and the wind is a clean cross-offshore. The energy is off the charts (13437). This is a proper, groundswell bomb. It’s big, it’s powerful, and it’s going to be long, clean lines at the point. This is for experienced surfers only – that size is no joke. The crowds might be around, but when it’s this good, you don’t mind sharing.

Saturday the 5th is a complete write-off – blowing a gale.

Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th see more big swell, but the wind is questionable. Monday the 7th of September afternoon is the other real standout. Another 12ft SW swell, but this time the period hits 20 seconds – that’s a very long, powerful groundswell. The wind is a clean offshore breeze. The energy is monstrous (18781). This is a classic Injidup day – long, walling waves. It’s going to be a bit straight at the beachies, but the point will be a dream. Again, for the experts.

After that, the swell drops off a bit through the second week, with smaller, cleaner days from the 9th onwards. Thursday the 10th afternoon has a nice offshore wind and a 10ft SW swell – a good, solid option without the huge size. Sunday the 13th of September morning also looks excellent with a clean 13ft WSW swell and a solid offshore, but it’s another big one.

Overall, the first week is where the magic is. The real standouts are Friday the 4th of September morning and Monday the 7th of September afternoon. Both are big, clean, and powerful. Get on it if you’ve got the skills.

Rusty.
