The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at Inamura Point. This reef set-up is all about a solid south swell, and for the first week, it’s a total bust. There’s a long, dry spell of tiny, weak, and messy surf right through the end of July and into the start of August. Water temp is about normal for this time of year.
The waiting game pays off around Tuesday, August 4th. That morning we’ve got a proper pulse of 4ft, 18-second groundswell from the SE. That’s long-period energy, and the wind is offshore from the ENE, cleaning it up nice. The combined energy is strong at 791. This is the standout session – clean, powerful, and with that long period, the reef should be offering up some proper lines. But it’s an advanced spot, and 4ft is not for beginners.
Wednesday, the 5th, gets bigger, but it’s a different story. Morning sees 8ft from the SE, and the wind is still cross-off, but at 22 mph, it’s a fresh breeze. Combined energy is massive at 4304. That’s expert-only territory, and you’ll need every bit of skill. Thursday, the 6th, peaks in size with 13ft from the SSE, and the energy is enormous at 8461. That’s serious, powerful, and only for the brave. The wind is cross-off in the morning, so it’s clean, but it’s a lot of ocean.
After that peak, conditions get messy. Friday and Saturday the 7th and 8th see the swell dropping but onshore winds ruin the party. The following week drops off fast, with clean but tiny waves and fading energy. The last standout is Monday, August 10th, with a small 2ft from the S, but the wind is offshore from the NNE, so it’s clean. Combined energy is weak at 113, so it’s a knee-high affair, but it’s ridable.
Bottom line: aim for the morning of Tuesday, August 4th for the best mix of clean conditions and a proper, long-period swell. If you’re an expert, the 5th and 6th are huge but manageable. The rest is a waiting game.
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.
