Injidup Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Injidup Point. This is a real heavy-hitter spot, a point break that needs a solid SW groundswell to work its magic, and looking at the 16-day window, we’ve got a serious run of energy coming our way.

We’re starting off with a bit of a frustrating situation. The first few days, from Sunday the 19th through Monday the 20th, have plenty of swell – pushing 8ft to 10ft of SW/WSW swell – but the wind is a nightmare. It’s a persistent cross-off or cross breeze, and the commentary is calling it marginal. The wave energy is moderate to strong (3929 to 1568), but the wind just won’t play ball. You’ll be fighting a chop all session.

Tuesday the 21st is where it starts to get interesting. The morning brings a solid 8ft SW swell, with a gentle offshore breeze from the south. The combined energy is strong (2686), and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. This is a legitimate window. The afternoon holds a moderate offshore, keeping it clean. This is a standout session for the first week.

Wednesday the 22nd looks like the pick of the first week. The morning is a bit messy with a cross breeze, but the afternoon is a total gem. We’ve got a 10ft SW swell with a very long 15-second period, and the wind goes super light, almost glassy. The combined energy is massive (4234), and the conditions are described as excellent. For an advanced crew, this is firing. The long period will make it organized and powerful, a proper point break day.

From Thursday the 23rd through Saturday the 25th, the quality drops off hard. The wind goes onshore or cross-onshore, the swell gets lumpy, and the scores are poor. There’s a big pulse of 10ft on Saturday the 25th, but with a fresh cross-onshore wind, it’s just a washing machine. Not one for the paddle board.

We then have a long stretch of marginal conditions from Sunday the 26th through to the end of the month. The swell sticks around in the 8ft to 10ft range, and the energy is consistently strong (2375 to 4017), but the wind is mostly fresh or moderate, keeping it from being truly clean. Monday the 27th afternoon is a glimmer of hope with an 8ft SW swell and a gentle offshore, but it’s a one-off.

Now, the real heavy artillery arrives in the second week. On Thursday the 30th, the swell drops to 3ft, but the period is a staggering 21 seconds on the afternoon. The wind is a moderate offshore, so it’ll be clean. It’s a weird one, because the energy is weak (958), but that long period will make the sets you do get very long, fast, and lined up. A true oddball.

The absolute standout of the entire forecast is Saturday the 1st of August. The morning is a huge 16ft WNW swell, with a light cross-onshore breeze. The energy is very strong (4897). But the afternoon is the real story: a 13ft WNW swell, and the wind goes glassy. No wind at all. It’s an excellent call for experienced surfers. This is a massive, clean, powerful day. Then Sunday the 2nd of August is another monster. The morning has a 13ft WSW swell with a 16-second period, and the combined energy is off the charts at 11124. The wind is light, so it’ll be a bit criss-cross, but that is a serious amount of water moving.

The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so you’ll be fine in a 3/2.

The best bets: Tuesday the 21st for a solid offshore session, and absolutely don’t miss the afternoon of Wednesday the 22nd. The biggest standout is the weekend of the 1st and 2nd of August – that’s a serious, serious swell window with light winds. It’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it, but it has the potential to be the session of the season.

Rusty.
