Injidup Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, it’s Rusty here. Let’s talk about Injidup Point. The next couple of days are proper wild, with a big angry ocean and howling winds. We’ve got a solid swell running, but the wind is all over it, making it messy and borderline unrideable for most of us. The conditions are just too raw, with the southwest winds up in the 30 mph range and hefty swells of 15ft to 18ft. That’s more of a "watch from the car park" situation than a paddle-out. The wave energy is massive, in the 4346 to 8372 range, but it’s not doing us any favours with these winds.

Then things start to settle for a bit. On Tuesday the 11th, the wind drops to around 19 mph from the southwest, and we get a proper groundswell pushing 18ft with a long 16-second period. It’s still big, but the ocean starts to look more organised. This is a serious, expert-only day. The energy readings are pumping, 15461 in the morning and 12298 by afternoon, but it’s just on the edge of being manageable. The shape will be there, but you better know what you’re doing out there. It’s a standout for the big-wave crew, but it’s not one for the faint-hearted.

The swell eases a touch on Wednesday and Thursday, dropping to 13ft, with the period still holding in that long range of 14 to 17 seconds. The wind turns light, and by Thursday afternoon we get a beautiful window of clean conditions. The wind will be light and cross-off, and the energy is still strong at 8885. That Thursday afternoon session is looking like the pick of the first half of the week for the experienced surfer, with clean lines and that long-period power coming through. It’s not as big as the previous days, but it’s a lot more user-friendly.

Friday the 14th has a moment too. The morning is a bit lumpy with a cross-on breeze, but the afternoon goes completely glassy. The swell is still around 12ft, with a 15-second period, and the energy is moderate at 4797. That glassy spell is a gift, those clean, lined-up point waves will be well worth the paddle. It’s a standout for the quality of the surf, even if the size isn't enormous.

From Saturday the 15th through to Monday the 17th, the wind goes onshore and it turns poor. The swell drops a bit, down to 8ft to 10ft, but it’s sloppy with the cross-onshore winds. It’s a write-off for a few days, not worth the hassle. We’ll just have to wait for the ocean to sort itself out.

Then the west-southwest swell builds again for Tuesday the 19th. The size jumps up to around 20ft, and it’s a powerful, strong energy system, reading 15051. The wind is howling from the southwest, but it’s cross-off, which will keep the face relatively clean. This is another serious, expert-only day. It’s promising, but it’s a long way out, and we all know these bigger systems can shift. Still, you look at that size and period and it gets the heart rate up.

There are a few more options later, but the winds stay onshore and the swell is inconsistent, so it’s not really worth mentioning. The second week is a bit of a lottery, but that Tuesday the 19th is the one that has the makings of something special if the conditions align. It’s all about patience and picking your window.

Alright, that’s the read for Injidup Point. Stay safe out there, and don’t be a hero on the big days.

Later,
Rusty
