The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the next stretch of days for Inamura Point. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, so let's break it down.
The window kicks off with a pulse of southwest groundswell that’s got some serious energy behind it. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, coming in at 84°F, which is a couple of degrees above the long-term average—nothing crazy, but you'll notice it.
The first real shout is Thursday morning, the 6th. We’ve got chest to head-high waves, around 6ft, coming from the SSE with a solid 13-second period. The energy is moderate at 1105, and with a light ENE cross-offshore breeze, it's looking clean and lined up. This is the pick of the first few days for the more experienced crew—it’s a proper reef setup, so you need to know what you’re doing. The wind stays light and the conditions are clean, but by the afternoon it swings onshore and gets a bit messy.
Friday, the 7th, still has some size, but the wind is straight onshore, which will chop it up. The energy is a bit higher, but the quality drops right off. Saturday the 8th sees the swell start to fade and the wind goes more cross-onshore, so it’s not worth getting too excited about.
We then hit a real flat spell. From Sunday the 9th through to the 17th, things drop right off. There are a few tiny pulses, but nothing with any real push or quality. The wind also gets fresh and strong out of the north for a few days, making it even less appealing. This is a solid stretch of days with no recommendations, so you can leave the boards in the car.
Now, looking further out, there’s something promising on the horizon. The 18th of August starts to show a new, long-period SSE swell building in. The morning is still small, but by the afternoon, the energy jumps to 1244 with waves around 4ft at a 16-second period. But the real kicker is the 19th. The swell jumps to almost 7ft with a 14-second period and very strong energy at 1688. This is the standout of the whole window. The problem is the wind. It’s going to be onshore or cross-onshore, which will put a lot of chop on it. The 20th sees the size hold around 6-7ft, but the wind is still a factor. This is a case where the swell is big and powerful, but the conditions will likely be rough. It’s a powerful, raw ocean day, and only for the hardiest experts out there. The short-period junky stuff earlier and the big, windy close-out later means that Thursday the 6th is far and away the best clean surf you’re going to get.
So, keep your eyes on that Thursday morning glass-off. The rest is a waiting game.
Rusty out.

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.
