Inamura Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let's be real with each other. The surf for Inamura Point over the next couple of weeks is a tough sell. We’re looking at a long, drawn-out stretch of small, weak surf and tricky winds. Don't get too excited.

Right from the start, it’s poor. We're looking at ankle-biters, just barely over a foot of messy southerly swell with an onshore breeze making it a complete washout. The little bump that shows up on Wednesday morning gets a bit bigger, pushing 7ft, but the cross-onshore wind is going to chop it up and make it a mess. That's the biggest we'll see, but it's not going to be any good. The energy is moderate, but it's not translating to any kind of quality.

From there, it's a downhill slide. The swell fades fast into the weekend, dropping us back down to knee-high leftovers. There are a few moments where the offshore wind cleans things up, like Thursday afternoon and Friday morning, and it might look pretty from the sand. But there's just not enough wave to make it worthwhile. By the weekend, it's knee-high slop and a whole lot of nothing. The energy is real weak, down in the low 20s, which tells you there’s nothing coming.

This flat spell is going to be a long one. We're looking at a solid week and a half of small, unexciting surf. There’s a glassy window around the 15th and another on the 17th, but even then, the swell is tiny and short-period, so it won't break with any kind of power here. The water is a bit warmer than average, which is a small comfort.

The second week is just flat-out bleak. The swell is almost non-existent, and the wind shows no signs of letting up. It’s a long stretch of nothing that will test your patience. This is one of those times when hanging up the wetsuit for a week is the smartest move. On the bigger, windier days, this setup will be a lot more fun for the kite surfers than us.

That's the long and short of it. No standouts, just a lot of waiting. I'll catch you when the ocean decides to cooperate.
