Injidup Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get stuck into this one. We’ve only got a single spot on the cards for the next 16 days: Injidup Point. It’s a fairly exposed point break that loves a good SW groundswell, and it’s for the advanced crew only. The forecast starts with a bit of a lull but builds into something that could be very special.

The first few days are a write-off, to be honest. Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th are a mess. We’ve got solid swell – 6.6ft to 9.8ft of that long-period WSW groundswell, with the combined energy reading between 3109 and 4810 (moderate to strong energy) – but the wind is blowing straight onshore or cross-shore, creating poor to marginal conditions. It’s just not worth paddling out. Those 14 to 18-second periods are a tease, but the wind is killing it.

Sunday the 13th is still rough. The swell pushes up to 11.5ft on the afternoon, with a combined energy of 4957, but the cross-shore wind and cross-chop mean it’s only looking marginal. The tide might be playing games too. For the average punter, this is a hard pass.

Monday the 14th is where things start to turn. The morning session is still a bit iffy with a gentle cross-shore, but the Monday afternoon is the first real standout. The swell is 11.5ft from the SW, period 14 seconds, and the combined energy is a solid 4907. The wind swings to a clean offshore from the SSW at 15.5 mph. This is proper stuff – clean, powerful, and demanding. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no dramas there. This is for experienced surfers only. Crowds are possible at Injidup Point, so get in early.

Tuesday the 15th is a cracker. The morning session has the swell dropping a touch to 9.8ft, but with a light ESE breeze and clean conditions, it’s going to be smooth. The combined energy is still strong at 3815. The afternoon sees a fresh offshore from the south, but it’s a bit stronger, keeping it clean but more challenging. Both sessions are excellent.

We lose the plot for a bit mid-week. Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th see the swell dropping to 5.6ft-7.9ft, and the wind turns cross-onshore, making it choppy and poor. A bit of a gap.

Friday the 18th brings a spike back. The morning has moderate rain, but the wind is offshore from the south at 15.5 mph. The swell is 5.6ft but with a very long 18-second period, pushing the combined energy to 3020. That’s a lot of grunt for a small wave – it’ll be hollow and fast. The afternoon gets bigger, 8.2ft with a 16-second period, but the wind is a fresh 21.7 mph offshore. It’s clean, but that’s a serious breeze. Best for the brave.

Saturday the 19th is a solid all-rounder. The swell sits around 6.2ft-7.2ft from the WSW with a 14-second period, and the wind is a light cross-off. The afternoon session is a standout for the less experienced big-wave crowd – clean, user-friendly, and excellent conditions. Combined energy is around 2505.

Then we get a gap of poor conditions again on Sunday the 20th. The swell is huge – 11.5ft to 13.1ft – but the wind is cross-onshore, creating a choppy mess. Combined energy spikes to 6313, but it’s not surfable for paddle. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

Now, the big one. Monday the 21st.

This is the absolute standout of the entire outlook. The morning sees a massive 16.4ft SW groundswell, 14-second period, with a combined energy of 8954. That’s strong to very strong energy. The wind is a light cross-off, keeping it clean. The Monday afternoon is exceptional. The swell holds at 16.4ft, still 14 seconds, and the wind goes clean offshore from the south at 12.4 mph. Combined energy is 8516. This is expert-only territory. Over 8.2ft is only for the experienced, and this is double that. It will be a freight train. If you have the skills, this is a session you’ll remember. It’s over a week away, so things can change, but the bones of this forecast are solid.

Tuesday the 22nd drops back to a still-strong 9.8ft, but the wind is a fresh cross-off from the southeast. Clean, but not as special. The combined energy is still high at 6030. Good, but not the standout.

The rest of the week from Wednesday the 23rd to Saturday the 26th fades. The swell drops to 5.6ft-8.2ft, and the wind goes cross-shore or cross-onshore. The last session on Saturday the 26
