The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way.
We’ve got a bit of a tease to start, then a long, quiet stretch. The best action is right at the beginning, on Thursday morning, August 6th. That’s your window.
Inamura Point is a reef break for advanced surfers only, and it’s fairly consistent. On Thursday morning, the 6th, we see a solid 6 ft swell from the SSE, with a 13-second period. That’s got some proper push to it, and the combined energy is pumping hard at 1131. The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the NE at 9 mph, which is a major positive—it’s going to keep the faces glassy. This is your standout session. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there. Just keep in mind, crowds are often a thing here, so get out early.
After that, the picture fades fast. Friday morning, August 7th, the swell drops just a touch to 6 ft from the S, but the wind swings SE at 6 mph, making it a cross-on. It’s still surfable, but the quality is nowhere near Thursday. From Saturday the 8th onwards, it’s a slow bleed. The swell drops below 5 ft, winds get messy, and the combined energy plummets into the double and triple digits. We’re looking at a long stretch of marginal-to-poor conditions from Saturday, August 8th, right through to the end of the forecast on August 21st. There’s a few mornings with clean offshore winds, like Wednesday the 12th (N at 12 mph) and Thursday the 13th (NNE at 16 mph), but the swell is tiny—2 ft and 2 ft respectively—so it’s not going to light anyone’s fire. The period is short to moderate, so the waves will lack that proper shape.
To be honest, after that first Thursday morning, the rest of the 16-day window is a write-off for Inamura Point. It’s one of those periods where you just have to wait for the next system.
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.
