The Lowdown
Alright, mates, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the menu for Inamura Point over the next couple of weeks.
It’s a bit of a slow burn out there to start. We’ve got a patch of small, messy surf kicking things off. The water’s sitting at a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, about 83°, which is nice, but the waves aren't doing us many favors just yet.
For the first few days, through the end of August and into the start of September, it’s pretty flat and gutless. We’re looking at knee-high slop with onshore breezes messing things up. It’s a waiting game.
There’s a pulse of energy that shows up mid-week, around the 3rd and 4th of September. The swell builds, but it comes with a strong southerly wind, making a proper mess of the point. We’ll see some 5ft to 7ft of lumpy, cross-onshore stuff, and the energy numbers get up there (545, 1016), but it’s not going to be pretty. This is more of a messy, blown-out situation than a surf session.
The real window starts to open up on the morning of Saturday the 5th. The wind swings around to the northeast, blowing offshore. The swell drops a notch to a clean 3ft from the south with a 9-second period. The energy is moderate (219), but the clean conditions make it all come together. This is looking like the pick of the first week, with some proper, clean little waves wrapping into the point.
After that, we slide back into a grovelly patch for a few days. The 6th and 7th see the swell fill back in but with the southerly winds returning on it, turning things onshore again. The 7th of September has a bigger 7ft to 8ft southerly swell, but it's blown out. This size is pushing past beginner territory and starting to get serious, but the wind just ruins it.
The second week gets a bit more interesting, but it’s a rougher ride. The 8th looks big and stormy, with 8ft southerly swell and a near gale blowing straight onshore. That’s a full-on, expert-only situation and pretty much unsurfable at this spot. It's more of a spectacle than a session.
Things ease a little on the 9th, still with the southerly swell at 5ft to 6ft, but the wind eases too. It’s a bit cleaner, but still onshore, so it’s not going to be a classic. As we get to the 10th and 11th, the offshore and cross-offshore winds return, and we see that southerly swell drop back to a fun, clean 3ft to 3ft. Those mornings—especially the 11th when it’s glassy—look like solid, grovel-and-fun waves, but nothing too big.
So, if you’re picking your windows, the Saturday morning of the 5th is the standout. Clean, offshore, and a decent little swell. After that, the mornings of the 10th and 11th have that clean, glassy feel again, but with smaller waves. It’s not a massive fortnight, but there are definitely a few windows worth paddling out for.
Stay stoked.

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.
