The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll level with you – the next week or so at Inamura Point is a total write-off. We’ve got a long, painful stretch of junk from now until the end of July. The swell is tiny, often under 2 ft, with periods that are all over the place, and the wind is either onshore or cross-shore most of the time. It’s a reef break, but it’s not even close to breaking properly. The water’s about average for this time of year, so no drama there, but the surf is just not happening. There’s a gap of about seven days with absolutely nothing worth paddling out for.
Then, finally, we get a flicker of hope. On Monday, 27 July, the morning shows a little pulse of 2 ft swell from the south with a 12-second period. The combined energy is a weak 132 (moderate wave energy), but it’s surfable – just very ordinary. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the NE, so the surface is clean. But honestly, it’s barely a blip.
The real standout is Tuesday, 28 July, in the morning. That’s the one. We’ve got 4 ft of south swell rolling in with a solid 13-second period, giving it some real push. The combined energy jumps to 674 (strong wave energy), which is a big step up. The wind is glassy from the ENE, so it’ll be clean as a whistle. The swell direction is from the south, which matches the optimum direction for this exposed reef break – it’s going to line up nicely. The waves will be well-shaped, with long gaps between sets, making it easier to get out the back. This is for advanced surfers only, as the size is pushing into the bigger range. It’s the best on offer, no question.
Wednesday, 29 July, the morning has a touch more size at 5 ft from the SSW, also with a 13-second period, and combined energy at 698 (strong wave energy). The wind is light cross-shore from the east, so there’ll be a few ripples on the face, but it’s still a decent option. The afternoon gets blown out with onshore, so get in early.
After that, it falls apart again. The wind turns onshore strong, and the swell drops off, with poor conditions through to the end of the forecast. The final few days into August show some waist-high swell from the SSW, but the onshore wind just kills it. Stick to Tuesday morning, 28 July – that’s your window.
Rusty.

Information about the Inamura Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Inamura Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Inamura Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Inamura Point surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Inamura Point) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Inamura Point may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Inamura Point is 7 km (4 miles) from the city of Kamakura. If you plan a holiday in Kanagawa, look for hotels and other accommodation in Kamakura. Kamakura has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
