The Lowdown
Alright, surf’s up… or it will be. Let’s be real with you. The next week and a half is mostly a waiting game. We’ve got a lot of small, weak swell and blustery winds filling the forecast, but there’s a proper window of solid surf hiding in the middle. If you’re keen and patient, it’ll pay off.
The first few days are pretty flat and messy. Don’t even bother paddling out until Sunday the 3rd. Even then, it’s weak. The swell starts to build Monday, but it’s still not worth getting wet for.
Then things get interesting. Tuesday the 5th sees the swell jump up, and by Wednesday afternoon, we’re talking about real waves. Inamura Point is an advanced reef break, so this is where it gets good for those who know what they’re doing. We’ve got a strong southeast groundswell pushing in with a 17-second period. The energy is cranking, with the combined swell energy up around 4947 – that's strong, powerful stuff. The wind is light and cross-offshore, which is about as good as it gets for keeping it clean. This is the standout, easily. Expect waves in the 10ft range. It’s big, it’s powerful, and it’s for experts only.
Thursday the 6th keeps the size up at 10ft with similar energy, but the wind is more onshore, which will mess with the shape. Still, the morning might offer a window. After this, the swell slowly backs off. Friday the 7th drops but is still sizable, though the wind is cross-onshore. Saturday morning the 8th sees it drop to 4ft, but the wind turns cross-offshore and it looks clean and fun.
After that, it’s a long fade. From Sunday the 9th through the 16th, we’re looking at small, short-period leftovers and mostly poor conditions. The winds get strong and offshore, which is nice for windsurfing but not for us. The water temperature is 82°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year—nothing crazy, but worth noting.
So, mark your calendar for Wednesday afternoon the 5th. That’s the one. Big, clean, and all yours if you’ve got the skills. The rest is mostly a skunk, but that one window is a gem.

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.
