Injidup Carpark - surf spot statistics

Injidup Carpark in Western Australia is a consistent year-round surf spot with a strong dominance of ground swell, making it highly reliable for wave riders. The best months for surfing here are typically from April to September, when swell size peaks and conditions are most favorable. During this period, the mean swell size ranges from 2.7m to 3.7m, with the largest waves occurring in July (3.7m). However, wind conditions are less favorable in these months, with only 16-28% of days having good winds, meaning offshore or light winds are relatively rare. The trade-off is bigger, cleaner ground swells with more challenging wind conditions. The summer months (December to March) offer smaller swells (2.2m-2.4m) and slightly improved wind conditions (17-23% good wind days), but the swell quality remains high due to the overwhelming presence of ground swell (92-97%). Overall, intermediate to advanced surfers will find the winter period ideal for powerful waves, while summer provides more manageable conditions with occasional clean offshore days. For the best balance of swell size and wind conditions, April and May stand out, offering solid swell (2.7m-3.0m) with marginally better wind odds (24-28% good wind days).

February at Injidup Carpark delivers consistent surf with an average swell height of 2.2m and a solid period of 12.8s, indicating powerful, well-formed waves. The majority of swell comes from the SW (54.81% of waves over 1.5m), producing clean, ridable surf with good energy. Smaller contributions from the S and SSW directions add variety, but the SW dominance ensures reliable groundswells. Wind conditions are less favorable, with only 19% of days offering ideal offshore or light winds. The prevailing SE to SSE winds (strongest 10-30kph range) frequently create onshore chop, particularly in the afternoons. However, mornings often see lighter winds, providing cleaner conditions. The best sessions occur when SW swell aligns with rare W or NW winds—expect powerful, hollow waves when these elements combine. Windswell from the SE is common but lower quality. Advanced surfers will find the most opportunities, with 22.31% of SW swells producing 2-2.5m waves and 1.55% exceeding 2.5m. Time dawn patrols for optimal conditions.
