The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break this down in feet and knots for the crew that thinks in inches.
So, Inamura Point is lookin’ like a ghost town for the next week and a half. From now until the end of July, it’s flat and messy. Onshore wind, cross-off wind, doesn’t matter – there’s nothin’ to ride.
The first sign of life appears on the morning of Saturday, August 1st. We’ve got a tiny 1ft wave from the ESE with a long 17-second period. The combined energy is 122 (moderate), so there’s some juice, but it’s a small one. The wind is a light cross-off from the NE, so the surface will be clean. It’s a reef break, and that long period will give it some shape, but don’t expect barrels.
Sunday the 2nd is a bit better, with 2ft from the ESE, 18-second period, and combined energy of 197 (moderate). The morning is clean again with a light cross-off from the ENE. The swell is still small, but it’s the best of the bunch.
The standout is the morning of Sunday, August 2nd. It’s the biggest we’ll see, with the most energy, and the wind is good. The water is a warm 80°F, which is normal for this time of year, so you’ll be comfortable while you’re waitin’ for sets.
It’s one of those windows where you’ll be paddling out for the exercise, not the waves. For advanced surfers only, and even then, it’s a slow, low-energy session. But if you’re jonesin’ for a paddle, that’s your best bet.

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.
