Ikumi Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it.

First up, we’ve got a real standout session coming on Sunday the 12th of July at Ikumi Beach. This is not one for the faint-hearted. The early morning is looking *glass* – dead calm – with a solid 10ft SSW groundswell, period a massive 16 seconds. That’s very long-period energy, so expect proper lines, but this spot is exposed, and with that size it’s going to be way too big for beginners. The water is a bit colder than usual for this time of year at 77°, about 3° off the norm. The combined swell energy is huge at (4895), so you’re feeling the full force of the ocean. This is truly for experienced surfers only. The wind stays light and glassy into the afternoon, with the swell easing a touch to 8ft, still very solid.

Come Monday morning the 13th, the swell drops to a much more manageable 5ft from the SSW, with a period of 12 seconds. Winds are still glassy, offering clean conditions. The energy is moderate at (707). This is the pick of the week for most surfers – cleaner, less intimidating, and still plenty of push. The afternoon sees the wind swing onshore, so morning is definitely the call.

Tuesday the 14th is small, with 3ft SSW swell, 10-second period, and glassy winds. It’s rideable but ordinary. The combined energy is weak at (248). Through the middle of the week we’ve got a real flat spell – Wednesday and Thursday morning are barely breaking, with heights under 2ft and poor winds.

Then things get interesting again on Saturday the 18th. A new pulse of ESE swell builds to 6ft with a 13-second period. The winds are light but cross-onshore, so it won’t be perfect, but the energy is solid at (939). This is a bit of a wildcard.

The best of the second week is Sunday the 19th. A 8ft ESE swell, 9-second period, and glassy conditions in the morning. That’s hefty size again – only for experienced crew – with strong energy (1593). The wind stays clean, but the period is shorter, so the waves might be a bit lumpy and powerful.

From the 20th onward, the surf winds down. Monday the 20th holds around 5ft, but winds are messy. The rest of the week sees heights drop to under 3ft, and conditions are mostly poor. There’s a weak spike of long-period energy on the 26th, but at 1ft it’s not worth getting excited about. The final days show tiny surf and ordinary winds, so the window closes after that Sunday the 19th.

Overall, the standout windows are Sunday the 12th for the big-swell crew, and Monday the 13th morning for everyone else. Sunday the 19th is worth a look for experienced surfers, but it’s more of a long-range call.
