Injidup Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Hey, Rusty here, looking at the Injidup Point charts. We've got a wild 16-day stretch, a real mix of enormous swell and ripping winds, so you gotta pick your sessions. The water's sitting at about 68°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – over 4° above average, so you might not need the thick wetsuit on the right day.

First up, Friday the 7th is a total no-go. We've got a solid 13ft WSW groundswell, but the west wind is howling at 19 mph, turning the point into a lumpy, choppy mess. Not worth paddling out.

Saturday the 8th? The swell pumps to a massive 21ft from the SW, and the wind goes cross-off, cleaning it up. But this is Injidup – a spot for experts. At this size, with combined energy absolutely massive, this is strictly for the heavy-water crew. If you're not charging mutant 20-foot faces, stay on the rocks.

Sunday the 9th is where the fun begins for the rest of us. The swell drops to a still-chunky 15-16ft from the SW, period holding at 16 seconds (proper groundswell), and the wind is a light 16 mph cross-off. The energy is still huge, but the conditions are clean. This is the standout for the first week for an experienced surfer – big but makeable, with smooth conditions.

Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th are back to chaos. Tuesday sees a monster 25ft SW swell with insane wave energy – that's an enormous amount of power. The wind is cross-off, so it'll look perfect, but it's way too big for this break unless you're in the elite. Good day to watch from the cliffs.

We finally get a sweet window on Thursday the 13th. The swell drops to a clean 13ft from the SW with a very long 17-second period. The wind is a gentle 9 mph cross-off. The forecast calls it "exceptional" for experts. This is smaller, cleaner, and the long-period groundswell will make for some beautiful, lined-up point waves. If you've got the skills, this Thursday afternoon is the real gem of the whole run.

The second week gets messier. Friday the 14th sees the wind go onshore, ruining the shape. We have a gap of poor conditions from the 15th through the 17th with strong winds and lumpy seas. Keep an eye on Wednesday the 19th – the wind drops back to a cross-off with a 15ft SW swell. Not epic, but rideable and clean.

Thursday the 20th afternoon has a moment where the wind goes offshore from the south at 19 mph, cleaning up a 16ft WSW swell. That could produce some very smooth, groomed waves for the advanced crew. The last few days show a steady 12-15ft SW swell with light cross-off to cross winds, which could be okay for a session.

So for the top picks: Sunday morning the 9th for the big-wave charger wanting clean, makeable waves, and Thursday afternoon the 13th for the surfer chasing the best mix of size, cleanliness, and that long-period glide.

Rusty out.
