Injidup Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s cut straight to it. We’ve got one spot on the radar for the next 16 days, and it’s a proper point break that demands respect. No messing about.

The big picture? We’re looking at a serious run of swell, but it’s a game of two halves. The early part of the week is a write-off, with strong cross-onshore winds and lumpy, messy conditions. Hold tight, because Wednesday the 26th is where it all changes. That’s our standout.

Wednesday morning the 26th is the real deal. Injidup Point is waking up to a solid 15ft swell from the WSW, with a very long period of 18 seconds. That’s groundswell energy, and it’s absolutely pumping. The wind is a gentle southerly offshore, which means glassy, clean lines. The combined energy is massive at 13576, and this is exceptional surf, but make no mistake – this is for experts only. Anything over 8ft, and especially over 13ft, is a serious challenge. The water temp is sitting at 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a full winter suit if you’re brave enough. Crowds are "sometimes" an issue here, so you might have a few others with the same idea. Wednesday afternoon stays solid at 16ft, WSW, with a clean cross-off wind.

Thursday the 27th keeps the swell going at 13ft from the SW, with a fresh offshore. The period drops to 15 seconds, still quality, but the energy is down to 6486. It’s cleaner than most, but the conditions are a bit more marginal. Friday the 28th sees the swell back off to 8ft, still clean, but the energy is fading.

There’s a bit of a lull over the weekend, with some cross-shore and cross-on winds making things choppy. Not a total loss, but not the peak.

Then look ahead to Wednesday the 2nd of September. The afternoon session at Injidup Point is another standout. We’ve got a 15ft swell from the WSW, period 16 seconds, and a light cross-off breeze. The combined energy is 9173, and it’s exceptional surf for experts. The wind is light, the lines will be clean, and it’s a proper groundswell for the point.

And then, hold on to your boards for Monday the 7th of September. The afternoon is a monster. 13ft from the SW, period 18 seconds, with a moderate offshore wind. The energy is 11442, and it’s exceptional surf for experts. This one is deep in the forecast, so treat it as promising but not locked in. The period is very long, so expect long, clean lines at this point break, but be ready for long gaps between sets.

The final week has some solid swell, but the wind gets messy again with cross-shore and onshore breezes. The setups will be lumpy, and honestly, with that much swell and poor wind, it might be more interesting for the kite crowd than us paddle surfers.

Bottom line: if you’re an expert, you have two absolute crackers to aim for: Wednesday the 26th of August, and Wednesday the 2nd of September. The 7th of September is the long-range wildcard. Don’t sleep on it.

Rusty.
