The Lowdown
Right, let's have a look at what's on offer here for the next couple of weeks at Inamura Point.
Alright, first thing's first, we're looking at a very quiet start to the period. We've got a gap with basically no surf worth paddling out for from Monday the 24th of August all the way through to the morning of Sunday the 6th of September. That's a long stretch of nothing special. The early stuff is there, but it's blown out by onshore winds or just too weak and messy. The energy is way down, with readings like 477 and 876 (moderate wave energy) on Monday and Tuesday turning into nothing but weak, poor-quality dribble for days.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Thursday the 27th of August. After that rough stretch, we get a morning with glassy conditions. The swell is tiny, just 1.3ft from the SSW with a period of 11 seconds, and the combined energy is a paltry 122 (weak wave energy). It's surfable, but you'd be on a big board and working for it. The afternoon looks better with 3.6ft swell and glassy conditions again, giving us 276 (weak wave energy) and some reasonable shape. Still not a standout, but the best we've seen for a few days. After that, it's right back into poor, choppy, cross-onshore junk for the rest of the week and into the start of September.
Now, if you're patient, there's something worth looking forward to. The Monday the 7th of September morning session shapes up pretty well. We get a 3.3ft swell from the south, with a 12-second period and a clean, cross-offshore wind from the NE. The energy is moderate at 319. It's a reef break for advanced surfers, so the long-period groundswell will wrap in nicely. The water temp is about average for this time of year at Inamura Point. This is likely the pick of the forecast, but it's a long way off so keep an eye on it.
Overall, don't expect much for the first ten days. The standout is that Thursday afternoon glass-off on the 27th for a small wave cruiser, and the more promising, cleaner swell on the 7th of September.

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.
