The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Inamura Point for the next couple of weeks. This reef break needs a good south swell and northerly offshore wind to get goin’, and we’ve got a bit of a mixed forecast. The water’s about 82°, which is a bit warmer than usual for this time of year.
We start on Saturday, August 1st, with a tiny 1ft swell from the SSW and a light onshore breeze. It’s flat and sloppy, not worth a look.
Sunday the 2nd brings cleaner conditions in the morning with a 1ft ESE swell and a cross-offshore breeze, but the energy is weak (107). The period is a very long 16 seconds, which is groundswell, so it’ll wrap around the reef, but there’s just no punch. Afternoon turns messy.
Monday the 3rd sees 3ft to 3ft SE swells with a long 16-second period. The wind is cross-offshore, keeping it clean, and energy climbs to 303–433. Still, it’s too small to get excited about.
Now Tuesday the 4th gets interesting. We’ve got a 5ft SE swell in the morning, building to 6ft in the afternoon, both with a 16–17 second period. The wind is fresh and cross-offshore, so the face will be clean. Energy jumps to 1068–1694, showing some moderate power. This one’s for the advanced crew, as it’s over 5ft.
Wednesday the 5th is the real standout. We’re looking at 8ft swell from the SSE on Wednesday morning, with an offshore wind blowing at 16 mph from the NNE. That’s perfection. The period is 16 seconds, so it’s a proper long-period groundswell, and the energy is roaring at 3319. This is big, powerful, and clean. It’s for experts only, as it’s well over 8ft. The afternoon stays big at 8ft, but the wind goes a touch cross-offshore. Still, this is the best on offer.
Thursday the 6th drops slightly to 7ft in the morning and 8ft in the afternoon. The morning has clean conditions and a 14-second period, energy still strong at 2995. The afternoon gets a southerly onshore breeze, which will ruffle it up. The morning window is the go.
Friday the 7th is another cracker for the early session. We’ve got 8ft from the S in the morning, with a light cross-offshore breeze making it glassy. The period is 15 seconds, and energy is 2544. This is excellent for experienced surfers. Afternoon turns messy with an onshore breeze.
Saturday the 8th has a 6ft SSW swell in the morning with light cross-offshore winds and clean surf. Energy is still moderate at 1194. Afternoon drops to 5ft but gets onshore again.
From Sunday the 9th through to Sunday the 16th, the swell fades steadily, dropping from 4ft down to 1ft. Winds are mostly cross-offshore or offshore, but the waves get too small. There’s a brief glassy moment on Monday the 10th with 3ft SSW swell, but it’s weak energy.
To wrap it up: Wednesday the 5th is the one—big 8ft SSE swell, offshore wind, and massive power. Friday the 7th morning is also a top pick. For the experienced surfer, those are your days. Expect a crowd.
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.
