Injidup Carpark
Surf Guide
One of the main factors here is the crowd. Locals from Yallingup, and a few from Gracetown and Margaret's, descend on it like flies when it's on (which is often). Jostling in the take-off zone can get a bit frisky. If you're not into that shit, sit a bit wide and pick off the occasional set wave that leaves the pack too deep, scrounge the smaller insiders, or go the left, which isn't as good as the right but still fun. Snaffle a decent set wave, and you'll learn what the fuss is about. This wave is one of the best around. There's a tight but makeable pit on low tide, and a wall that will give you two or three big hits before you play your cadenza on the closeout near the shore. When it's medium size, it's got the feel of a slightly serious beachbreak. When it's big, it assumes the full southwest WA menace. Either way, it's a reliable right-hander, picks up any swell that's going, and doesn't vary much from tide to tide. If it's too crowded, have a look a bit further afield. Big SW swells can wrap into the point, where there is a long left, but it gets a bit shifty, and there's a rock shelf in the middle that can catch you by surprise.
