The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta level with you – this forecast is a tough one. We’re looking at nearly two weeks of slop and small stuff, with a real chance of a nice glimmer right at the very end. Let’s break it down.
The outlook starts with a pretty bleak run. For the first few days, we’ve got swell around 2ft to 2ft, and it’s coming from the SSW. The energy is really weak, with the combined swell energy sitting around 151 to 154 early on. That’s barely a bump. The wind is a mess, mostly cross-onshore, and the water is what you’d expect for this time of year – nothing unusual in the temperature. It’s honestly a bit of a write-off for a proper paddle.
Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th are still small, but we do see a bit of a shift. Monday morning offers a clean 2ft with a cross-offshore breeze from the NE at Inamura Point. The period is a solid 10 seconds, so there’s a little bit of push, but the combined energy is only 115. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. Monday afternoon turns glassy with light ENE wind, which is a nice change, but the waves are still tiny. Tuesday is a total loss with strong onshore winds and choppy conditions.
The middle of the week into the weekend is a real desert. From Wednesday the 12th right through to Saturday the 23rd of August, the swell barely cracks 2ft, with most days showing 1.0ft or 1ft. The combined energy drops into the 20s, 30s, and low 40s – that’s barely any power at all. There are some clean windows with offshore winds, like Thursday the 13th morning with a 16 mph NNE breeze, but with 2ft of swell and energy of only 64, it’s not worth the drive. The wind is often strong enough to make paddling a chore, even if it’s offshore.
Now, the standout. If you’ve got patience, keep your eye on Monday the 24th of August. The morning looks like a little gem. We’re talking a glassy morning with the wind going dead calm from the NE, and the swell lifts to 2ft from the SSW with a 9-second period. The combined energy is still low at 54, but it’s the cleanest the whole window gets. The water is still about average for the time of year. For a wave that’s barely breaking, it’s the best we’ve got. It’s promising, but being so far out, take it with a grain of salt.
So, the rundown: the first week is a wash. The second week is mostly a wash too, with only a few clean but tiny moments. The only real hope is that last Monday morning. It’s not a bomb, but it’s clean. For a spot that’s inconsistent, that’s a win.
Stay patient, and keep checking in.
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.
