Alright, let’s get into it.
Look, we’re starting off with a bit of a wait here. The first solid surf on offer isn’t until Wednesday morning, July 8th. So you’ve got a couple of days with nothing worth paddling out for.
The real focus for this whole run is Inamura Point. It’s an advanced, exposed reef break, and when it lines up, it’s a proper session for those who know what they’re doing.
Wednesday morning, July 8th, is where it kicks off. We’ve got a clean 5ft groundswell out of the SSE, with a very long 16-second period pushing in. That’s a lot of energy moving through—the combined swell energy is sitting at 1094 (moderate to strong). The wind is light, out of the east at 6 mph, giving us a cross-off breeze. That’s a huge positive, meaning clean, lined-up waves. Water temp is 75°, which is about normal for this time of year, nothing weird going on there.
Now, this swell gets a little bigger as the week goes on, but the wind is the problem. From Wednesday afternoon right through to the end of the weekend, it’s onshore, mostly from the S or SSW, and it picks up strength. Thursday morning, July 9th, still has a clean 5ft S swell, but the wind is already on it. By Friday, July 10th, we’re looking at a 6ft to 7ft S swell, but with 9 to 16 mph onshore wind, it’s going to be a messy, blown-out wall. Saturday, July 11th, the swell hits 7ft from the SSW with a 17-second period, but again, onshore wind at 12-19 mph. This is getting into expert-only territory in size, but the quality is poor. Honestly, this setup for the weekend looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The surf drops off significantly after Sunday, July 12th, with a long lull through most of the following week. We’re talking waist-high or smaller, weak energy, and mostly poor conditions until around Sunday, July 19th.
Sunday afternoon, July 19th, things start to look interesting again. The swell picks back up to 3ft from the SE, with a very long 16-second period, and the wind switches to a clean cross-off out of the ENE at 12 mph. That’s good news. The combined energy is 576 (moderate). It’s still a bit inconsistent, but the clean conditions make it a worthwhile paddle.
Monday, July 20th, gives us the best of the second week. The morning session shows a 5ft SE swell, 15-second period, with a light ENE cross-off breeze at 9 mph. The combined energy is 810 (moderate), and the conditions are clean. This is the standout for the second half of the outlook. It’s promising, but remember, it’s a week and a half out, so keep an eye on it.
After that, it drops away again. The final few days into late July show some small, mostly poor surf, with a tiny window on Wednesday, July 22nd afternoon, and Thursday, July 23rd, where a 4ft S swell meets clean cross-off winds, but energy is low and the quality is just marginal.
Bottom line: Your best bet is Wednesday morning, July 8th at Inamura Point for that clean, punchy SSE groundswell. If you miss that, the Monday morning, July 20th session is the one to circle on the calendar for the second week.

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.
