The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the same stretch but in feet and miles per hour.
It’s a slow start at Inamura Point, but there’s a proper pulse of energy coming midweek. The water’s running warm at 83°, a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th are write-offs. Monday morning has a tiny 2ft swell from the SE with a 16-second period, but the wind is a cross-off 16 mph and the conditions are poor. The energy is weak (277). Tuesday sees a bump to 5ft by morning, energy jumps to 1098, but the wind is up to 19 mph and it’s only a marginal call. Not worth it.
Wednesday the 5th is the big one. The swell hits 8ft on Wednesday morning from the SSE, 16-second period, with a strong combined energy of 3413. The wind turns offshore at 19 mph, making for clean, powerful waves. This is expert territory – 8ft is no joke for beginners. Wednesday afternoon pushes to 10ft and 3860 energy, still clean. That’s the standout. Thursday the 6th holds around 8ft to 8ft, but the wind goes cross-onshore in the afternoon, messing it up.
Friday the 7th still has size, 8ft in the morning from the S, clean with cross-off wind. Energy is still massive at 3208. Rain showers possible, but the surf is there. Saturday the 8th morning is the best of the weekend: 6ft from the SSW, 14-second period, 1792 energy, and a light 6 mph NE breeze. Glassy, clean, excellent for experienced surfers. Crowds are often a factor here.
After Saturday, the swell drops fast. Sunday the 9th is down to 4ft, energy drops to 678, and the wind picks up. From Monday the 10th through to the 16th, it’s tiny – barely 1ft to 2ft – with weak energy. A long flat spell of about a week.
Then, around Monday the 17th, we get a glimmer. The morning shows 4ft from the SE, 13-second period, 533 energy, and a light 9 mph NE breeze. The forecast says “expect very good surf conditions.” That’s promising but far out. Tuesday the 18th drops back to tiny.
Best bet: Wednesday the 5th for the biggest, cleanest swell, but that’s for experts only. Saturday the 8th morning is the pick for experienced surfers looking for clean, fun waves. Otherwise, it’s mostly flat, with a possible return around the 17th. Keep your hopes up.
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.
