Injidup Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Righto, let’s get into it. We’re looking at Injidup Point, and it’s a classic south-west groundswell runner. This is an advanced spot, and it’s gonna be pumping, but we’ve got a bit of a wait for the real magic.

The water is sitting at 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a nice little bonus.

We kick off on Tuesday, 18 August, with a solid 15 ft swell from the WSW at a very long 16 seconds. That’s a huge amount of energy – 10173 (moderate to strong) – but the wind is a messy cross-shore, and then it goes cross-on in the arvo. The surf is there, but it’s lumpy and not the cleanest. Not the best start.

Wednesday, 19 August, sees the same 15 ft WSW swell, but the wind swings to a clean cross-off from the SW. That’s the ticket. The morning is looking decent, but the afternoon really cleans up with a 7 out of 10 feel. The period stays long at 15-16 seconds, so expect powerful, lined-up waves. The combined energy is still high (8590-9739), but that offshore flow will make it look proper.

Thursday, 20 August, the swell drops a notch to 13 ft, still from the WSW and a 16-second period. The wind is cross-off again, keeping it clean. The morning is a bit marginal, but the afternoon shapes up with excellent conditions for experienced surfers. It’s still a big, powerful wave.

Friday, 21 August, is a standout. The swell is still 12 ft from the WSW, but the wind goes glassy in the morning – a 5 km/h ESE. That’s as clean as it gets. The period is a very long 15 seconds. This is the best of the bunch for the first week. The crowd factor is “sometimes,” so expect some company but nothing too hectic. The combined energy is a solid 5166, so it’s got plenty of punch. The afternoon stays clean with a light cross-off.

Saturday, 22 August, the swell drops to 10 ft from the SW, still a long 16-second period. Morning winds are light offshore from the SSW. Clean, powerful waves, but it’s dropping. The afternoon gets a bit fresh with the wind, but it’s still rideable.

Sunday, 23 August, we’ve got 10 ft swell in the morning, but the wind is a bit stronger. The afternoon looks better with a 8 ft swell and a clean offshore breeze. It’s still a solid wave.

Monday, 24 August, the wind turns onshore and the quality drops off. Not worth it.

Tuesday, 25 August, we get a 10 ft to 12 ft swell, but a near gale is blowing. The waves will be a mess. A definite miss.

Wednesday, 26 August, the swell jumps back to 13 ft, with a 15-second period. The wind is a fresh cross-off, so the surf is big and clean, but it’s a lot of water moving. Only for the experts. The combined energy is 6425 – very strong.

Thursday, 27 August, the swell is dropping (8 ft), but the wind goes strong offshore from the SSW. It will be clean but hard to paddle into, with a short-ish 13-second period.

Friday, 28 August, we’ve got a 6 ft to 4 ft swell. The morning is a fresh offshore, clean but small. The afternoon sees a very long 18-second period from the WSW, which is interesting, but the wave height is small. The combined energy is 2055 – moderate.

Now, the second week has a couple of promising days.

Saturday, 29 August, morning looks excellent. An 8 ft WSW swell with a 16-second period, and only a light offshore breeze. The combined energy is 3632. That’s a clean, powerful, and very surfable wave. The crowds might show up, but it’s worth it.

Sunday, 30 August, we’ve got a 8 ft to 10 ft swell. The morning is a light cross-off, looking clean and solid. The afternoon has a gentle breeze, still clean. A good, consistent run.

Monday, 31 August, is another strong contender. Morning sees a 10 ft WSW swell, 15-second period, and a gentle cross-off. The combined energy is 4473. The afternoon is even cleaner with light winds. This is a solid, high-quality day.

From Tuesday, 1 September, the wind shifts onshore from the north-west and the quality drops off. The swell is still 10 ft to 12 ft, but the wind chop will make it messy. Not the best way to end the run.

So, the standouts: Friday, 21 August morning – glassy, 12 ft, very long period, that’s the one to get excited about. And Monday, 31 August is another beauty – clean, powerful, and consistent. Get on it.

Rusty.
