The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Inamura Point over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, the first few days are pretty grim. We’re looking at a run of weak, small surf with bumpy onshore winds. Thursday the 27th sees tiny 1ft southerly swell at 11 seconds, but the morning is glassy and the afternoon goes offshore – still, it’s not worth paddling out for. Friday the 28th is similar with 2ft, glassy morning but the swell period drops to 8-9 seconds, meaning weak, short-lined waves. The wave energy is pitiful, sitting around 51 to 74 (weak). From Saturday the 29th right through to Tuesday the 1st of September, it’s a dead zone. Swell stays below 3ft, winds are messy, and the surf is mostly poor. You’re looking at a solid 5-day gap with nothing worth wetting a wetsuit for.
Things start to twitch on Wednesday the 2nd of September. The morning shows real promise: clean 3ft southerly swell, 11-second period, glassy conditions. Wave energy is moderate at 266. It’s the first real window, but unfortunately the afternoon turns onshore and messy. Thursday the 3rd and Friday the 4th get walloped by strong southerly winds up to 19 mph, ruining the 3-4ft swell. Kite surfers might have a field day with that wind, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a write-off.
The standout window is September 10th and 11th. Thursday the 10th afternoon sees a solid 5ft SSW groundswell, 14-second period – that’s proper long-period energy, ideal for a reef point like Inamura Point. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the ENE, keeping things clean. Combined wave energy hits 709 (moderate-strong). Friday the 11th morning follows up with 4ft SSW swell at 13 seconds, glassy cross-offshore breeze, and energy at 620. These two sessions are the clear highlights. The swell direction (SSW) lines up well with the optimum S direction, so the reef should focus the energy beautifully.
A quick note for the advanced crew: this break is a reef setup and only for experienced surfers. Crowds are often around, so expect company when it’s good. In early September, water temps are about average for the time of year.
So, to sum it up: nothing doing until Wednesday the 2nd, then a messy week, but lock in Thursday the 10th afternoon and Friday the 11th morning. That’s your best shot.
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.
