Injidup Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve been looking at what’s on the cards for Injidup Point over the next couple of weeks. And let me tell you, there’s some serious ocean energy on the way, but you’ve got to pick your moments. The water temp is sitting at 66°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – nothing crazy, but it feels nice.

We kick off with a solid start on Friday the 21st of August. The early morning is a bit of a letdown with some cross-shore wind, but the swell is already pumping at 12 feet from the southwest with a fat 14-second period, and the combined energy is a massive 4862 (moderate). The real winner is Friday afternoon when the wind swings offshore from the SSW at 9 mph, cleaning everything right up. The swell holds at 12 feet and the energy jumps to 6142 (moderate). This is absolutely prime for experienced surfers – the wave quality will be excellent. Just know that the crowds can be around sometimes at this point, so get out there.

Saturday morning (22nd August) is still firing with a 10 feet SW swell, 16-second period, and a clean offshore S wind at 12 mph. The energy is 3953 (moderate). It’s powerful, long-period groundswell, and at a point break like Injidup, it’ll groom into some seriously good lines. The standout of the whole window, without a doubt, is Wednesday the 26th of August. The morning serves up a beast – 16 feet of WSW swell, a 17-second period, and a clean offshore from the SSW at 12 mph. The combined energy is a staggering 15162 (strong to very strong). This is exceptional surf for experts only. It’s going to be big, raw, and powerful. The wind is moderate and offshore, so the face will be smooth. The afternoon is still good, but the wind gets a bit cross-off and the swell drops to 15 feet.

After that, the quality tails off through the end of August and into early September. We get a few clean but smaller pulses on the 28th with 8 feet SW swell and offshore wind, but the energy drops. There’s a long gap of poor conditions from the 30th of August through the 1st of September, with strong onshore winds and lumpy, messy surf. Then from the 2nd of September, it’s back to clean but marginal, with decent swell hanging around the 8 feet to 10 feet mark, but the wind is often strong cross-off or cross-on. The 5th of September looks interesting again with a big 20 feet WSW swell in the afternoon, but the wind is strong cross-off at 22 mph, so it’s going to be wild and raw, only for the true hardcores.

So, to boil it down: Friday afternoon the 21st and Wednesday morning the 26th of August are your absolute best bets. The 26th is the big one if you’ve got the skills. The rest is a mix of small windows with clean conditions between spells of wind and mess. Stay sharp.

Rusty.
