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).

June at Injidup Carpark delivers solid, powerful surf with an average swell height of 3.4m and a strong 13.7s period, indicating consistent, well-spaced waves. The majority of swell comes from the SW to WSW (85% of waves over 1.5m), producing clean, well-formed walls ideal for experienced surfers. Cross-shore winds (SSW-WSW direction) dominate, but only 16% of wind conditions are truly favorable—typically lighter morning offshore winds before afternoon sea breezes kick in. Expect sizable surf (2-2.5m range 50% of the time) with occasional heavier sets (over 2.5m 25% of days). Wind speeds often hit 20-30kph (30% probability), potentially creating choppy afternoon conditions. Wave quality peaks early when winds are lighter, but the spot handles onshore winds better than many due to its exposure. Bring a step-up board—this is proper winter surf with power and consequence. Breakdown: - *Prime swell*: SW-WSW (15% of time with 2-2.5m+, 5% over 2.5m). - *Wind issues*: Westerlies (W-WNW) bring 20-40kph winds 20% of June, creating bump. - *Rare flat spells*: Just 0.5% of swells under 1m. - *Best case*: Mid-sized SW swell (2-3m) with light SSE morning wind = epic, hollow rights.
