Injidup Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here, and we’ve got a real mixed bag coming in for Injidup Point over the next couple of weeks. Don’t get too excited straight away because the first few days are going to be a write-off thanks to onshore winds and building swell that’s just going to get messy. But hang tight – there’s a massive payoff later on.

Right now, Sunday morning (23rd August) is actually showing some promise. We’ve got a solid 8ft swell from the southwest with a 13-second period packing some serious energy (2601). The wind is a moderate offshore from the SSW, keeping things clean. The water is sitting at 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s not bad. This is advanced territory though – that size and power are for experienced surfers only. The afternoon turns a bit cross-off, still clean enough, but the score drops off with questionable tide.

Monday and Tuesday are a complete mess. Monday morning sees a 10ft swell from the WSW, but cross-on winds from the NNW ruin it, and by Tuesday it’s howling cross-on with 22-25 mph winds and rain squalls. The energy jumps up (4507 on Tuesday afternoon), but it’s just a lumpy, messy onshore disaster. Not worth paddling out.

Then Wednesday the 26th rolls around and blimey, it gets good. Wednesday morning is big – 16ft from the WSW with an 18-second period, creating massive energy (15320). It’s cross-off and clean, but that size is only for experts. Wednesday afternoon is the standout of this first week: 16ft, still from the WSW, 17-second period, but now the wind goes full offshore from the south at 12 mph. The energy is huge (13691) and the conditions are exceptional. This is a proper session for those who can handle it.

Thursday and Friday settle down a bit, with 12ft dropping to 7ft, clean offshore winds, but the energy drops too. Saturday the 29th afternoon brings another highlight – 10ft from the SW, 15-second period, moderate offshore wind, excellent conditions for experienced surfers, with moderate energy (4698).

After that, from Sunday the 30th through to Tuesday the 1st of September, we get a bit of a lull. Swell holds around 8ft to 10ft, but the wind goes cross-on or cross-shore, so it’s not the cleanest. The real magic happens on Friday the 4th of September. Friday afternoon: 15ft from the WSW, 16-second period, light cross-off breeze, and energy absolutely pumping at 10305. This is exceptional stuff for experts – a true standout session at Injidup.

Saturday the 5th continues the run with 13ft and 12ft swells, clean cross-off winds, and solid energy. Sunday the 6th adds offshore winds, keeping it excellent for experienced surfers.

And then – hold onto your board – Monday the 7th of September. There’s a massive 21ft groundswell from the WSW with a 20-second period – that’s about as long and powerful as it gets – energy is off the chart (29861). The wind is a gentle cross-shore from the east, so it’s not perfect, but the size is just insane. Monday afternoon: 20ft, 19-second period, the wind switches offshore from the south. This is too big for most people, even experts. The energy is very strong (26286). This is a full-on, big-wave event.

Overall, the standouts are Wednesday afternoon (26th) for its perfect offshore combo, and Friday afternoon (4th September) for the incredible energy and clean conditions. The 7th of September is a true monster session for the brave. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so keep that in mind. Because it’s a point break, those long-period swells will wrap in beautifully.

Rusty.
