Injidup Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve got the goods on Injidup Point. This is a proper point break for advanced surfers only, and it’s fairly consistent when the swell lines up. The water’s sitting at a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, about 67°, so you won’t be freezing your arse off.

We’ve got a solid run of swell coming through, but the wind’s going to be a bastard for a lot of it. The standout window is this Saturday afternoon, August 1st. The swell is a solid 15 ft out of the SW with a 15-second period, and the wind is offshore from the SSE. That’s going to produce exceptional, clean conditions for those who can handle the power. The combined energy is massive (9,533), so you’ll be feeling every bit of that deep ocean groundswell. Expect long, powerful lines wrapping around the point. This is the one to circle.

Then on Sunday, August 2nd, the wind swings NE and goes cross-on, messing up the 10 ft SW swell. The combined energy drops (3,475), and it’s choppy and poor. Monday gets worse with fresh cross-onshore winds and lumpy, poor surf. The big swell picks up again on Tuesday, August 4th, with a 12 ft WSW swell and a very long 18-second period, but the wind is cross-shore and fresh, making it lumpy. The energy is strong (8,203), but the quality is marginal.

Wednesday, August 5th, brings rain showers and a massive 16 ft WSW swell (11,575 energy), but it’s cross-onshore and choppy in the morning. The afternoon settles slightly with a cross-shore wind, making it marginal but still a 15 ft beast. That’s a big, ugly wave for the brave. Thursday and Friday are a write-off with strong winds and messy conditions, including a 35 km/h NNW wind on Thursday morning and a 45 km/h NW wind that afternoon. The swell is still there, but it’s a washing machine.

Saturday, August 8th, is interesting. The swell jumps to a huge 21 ft in the morning (14,981 energy) and then 28 ft in the afternoon (26,825 energy) with a 14-second period. The wind is cross-off from the SW, so it’s clean, but the forecast says it’s too big for this break. The final call is that it’s pushing the limit even for experts. Sunday, August 9th, is the same story with a 25 ft swell (35,963 energy) – too big and clean, but basically a washing machine.

After that, the wind turns back offshore on Tuesday, August 11th, with a 13 ft SW swell and a 16-second period. The energy is strong (7,370), and the wind is light offshore from the SSE in the afternoon. That’s another proper session, but it’s a week and a half out, so keep an eye on the forecast. The rest of the period into the second week is mostly cross-on winds and choppy, with the swell dropping to 8 ft to 12 ft. The final day, Sunday, August 16th, looks promising again with a 18 ft WSW swell, a 16-second period, and a fresh offshore SSW wind. That’s a big, clean, powerful day for the experts.

So, the best on offer is this Saturday afternoon, August 1st, and then Tuesday, August 11th, as a long-range promise. The rest is either too windy, too big, or just average.

Rusty.
