The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. Right now, the surf is flat as a pancake. We’re looking at a solid week of nothing worth paddling for, from now through the 24th of August. The swell is tiny, wind is mostly onshore, and the energy is weak. It’s a bit of a bummer.
The first real sign of life comes Tuesday morning, the 25th of August. We’ve got a small 2ft swell from the southeast with a 13-second period – that’s proper groundswell. The wind is glassy, dead calm, so Inamura Point (Japan) will be clean as can be. The water temp is around 81°F, which is about normal for this time of year. The combined energy is moderate at 230, so there’s some push, but it’s not a big day. Still, after a week of nothing, this is a welcome sight.
But the real standout is Wednesday morning, the 26th of August. We’ve got a 6ft swell from the south-southeast, with a 17-second period – that’s very long-period groundswell. The energy is strong at 1688, and the wind is light and cross-shore, so the waves should be well-shaped. This is a reef break, so that long period will wrap in nicely. It’s a bit much for beginners, but for advanced surfers, this is the pick of the outlook. Thursday and Friday the 27th and 28th keep the swell solid, around 7ft to 10ft, with clean offshore winds from the north-northeast and northeast. That’s big, powerful stuff – experts only, but it’ll be a proper session.
Towards the end of the run, on the 1st of September, we’ve got a smaller 3ft to 3ft swell from the southeast with a 15-second period, clean offshore winds, and moderate energy. A nice, clean option to finish the outlook.
All in all, the 26th of August is the day to circle. Big, long-period swell, clean conditions, and a reef break that’ll handle it. Don’t sleep on it.

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.
