Inamura Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’Day, I’m Rusty.

Alright, let’s look at what Inamura Point has cooking over the next couple weeks. Honestly, the first few days are pretty flat and messy—nothing worth rushing out for. The real action kicks off around Wednesday the 5th through Friday the 7th of August, with a couple of other decent windows after that.

Sunday morning the 2nd of August, there’s a tiny 1ft south-east groundswell with a long 16-second period, but the cross-off wind is just okay. Combined wave energy is weak at 107. The water sits at 82°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. It’s rideable, but nothing special. The afternoon goes onshore and turns poor.

Monday the 3rd sees a little more size, 2 to 3ft from the south-east, still with that long period, but fresh cross-off winds and poor conditions keep it ugly. Tuesday the 4th builds to 5 to 5ft from the south-east, period stretching to 17 seconds, and wave energy climbs to moderate (1059–1435). Still marginal though—strong cross-off wind and questionable tides.

Now Wednesday the 5th of August is the big one. We’ve got 8ft from the south-south-east, 16-second period, and a fresh offshore NNE breeze at 19 mph. That gives us clean, lined-up waves. Combined swell energy is strong at 3499. This is powerful groundswell, and with offshore wind, Inamura Point will be firing. This is a standout for experienced surfers—big and well-shaped. The afternoon pushes to 10ft, still clean but more cross-off. Crowds are often here, so expect company.

Thursday the 6th stays big, 8ft from the south, but the wind swings cross-off in the morning then cross-on in the afternoon, so quality drops. Friday the 7th morning is another standout: 8ft from the south, 16-second period, light cross-off ENE breeze at 6 mph. Combined energy is still strong at 2756. This is excellent for experienced surfers—clean, powerful, and with light wind, the face will be smooth. The afternoon goes onshore, so get out early.

Saturday the 8th morning is still decent for the experienced crew: 6ft from the south-south-west, 15-second period, clean with light cross-off wind. Combined energy is moderate to strong at 1472. After that, the swell drops steadily through the second week. From Sunday the 9th onward, we’re looking at heights between 1ft and 5ft, mostly from the south-south-west, periods shortening from 15 seconds down to 9 seconds by the 16th. A few days like Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th have onshore wind or poor conditions. The 12th afternoon is a surprise—3ft, clean, light wind, and a decent score. After that, it fades to very small, ordinary waves through to the 17th.

Best bet: Wednesday 5th and Friday 7th mornings for the experienced crew. Big, clean, powerful south groundswell with offshore wind. If you’ve got the skills, that’s the session.

Rusty.
