Injidup Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the charts for Injidup Point over the next couple of weeks. Let’s get straight into it.

The main story here is that Injidup Point’s going to see a fair bit of swell, but the wind’s gonna be the gatekeeper. Early on, it’s a bit of a write-off with strong westerly winds. We’ve got some solid, clean windows coming up, especially from that Monday (14th of September) morning and into the following week, but the real standouts are a little further out.

We kick off on Saturday the 12th. There’s a 7ft WSW swell with a very long 16-second period, but a strong 19 mph cross-offshore wind keeps things a bit rough and marginal. The combined energy is fairly strong (3983). That afternoon, it gets worse – bigger at 10ft, but the wind swings cross-shore and it’s messy. Sunday’s no good with onshore wind and heavy chop. So, the first few days are a real wait-and-see.

The first real glimmer of hope is Monday the 14th. Morning sees that solid 12ft SW swell (5140 energy) clean right up with a light ESE cross-offshore breeze. That’s a good session for experienced surfers – it’s big and powerful. That afternoon stays clean with a gentle 9 mph SE wind. Tuesday morning gets a bit messy again, but Tuesday afternoon is a beauty: a 10ft SW swell (3104 energy) and light offshore southerly wind. It’ll be glassy and lined up. That’s a top pick for the near term.

We then hit a rough patch from Wednesday the 16th through Friday the 18th. The swell drops off, then gets massive on Friday with gale-force winds (44 mph). That’s not paddle surfing – that’s full-on kite territory. Stay out of the water.

Now, the big one. Saturday the 19th is a standout. We’re looking at a massive 18ft SW swell from the south (11324 energy) with a fresh 22 mph offshore breeze. It’s clean. That’s a heavy, big-wave session for experts only. The period is 14 seconds, so it’s got serious power and will be pitching on that point. Sunday the 20th is a write-off with onshore wind, but then Monday the 21st is another cracker: a 15ft SW groundswell (10037 energy) and strong offshore wind. Tuesday the 22nd is still solid and clean, though the swell drops a touch.

Later in the week of the 24th, we see another pulse. Thursday the 24th has a 10-12ft SW swell with a very long 17-second period and a fresh offshore wind. That’s a classic Injidup day – long, peeling lines. Friday the 25th stays clean with a lighter wind, still on that long-period swell. The 27th (Sunday) rounds things out with another solid 13ft SW swell and offshore wind.

Bottom line: Injidup Point is a high-performance point break, so it handles these bigger, longer-period swells really well. The best windows are Tuesday afternoon the 15th for a slightly smaller, glassy session, and then the whole run from Saturday the 19th to Monday the 21st for big, powerful, clean surf – but that’s for experienced crew only. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.

This is a spot that can get a crowd when it’s good, and with this swell and wind combo, you can expect it to be *often* busy on those standout days. The long-period swells (over 15 seconds) will line up beautifully on this point, giving you plenty of time between sets.

For the second week, keep an eye on the 24th to the 27th – it’s all solid, with clean conditions likely. But remember, long-range forecasts can change.

Stay safe, and I’ll see you in the lineup.
