The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s break this down.
Right off the bat, it’s a tough stretch for Inamura Point. For the next week, we’re looking at a whole lot of nothing. The surf is flat or barely ankle-high through the end of July and into the first few days of August. We’ve got tiny 0.3ft to 1ft swells with weak energy (as low as 17 in the tank), and the directions are all over the place. Even when the wind goes glassy on Tuesday the 28th morning, there just isn’t enough ocean to work with. It’s a long wait.
That changes early on Monday the 3rd of August. The morning shows a pulse of 2ft swell from the SE, period of 15 seconds, and energy ramping up to 121. Conditions are clean with a light cross-offshore breeze, but it’s barely surfable. Still, you can feel something building.
The real story kicks off on Tuesday the 4th of August. Early morning, we’ve got 3ft of groundswell from the ESE, period at a juicy 16 seconds, and the energy jumps to 463. The wind is light and cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean. The water’s sitting at 81°F, which is about average for this time of year—not weird at all. Inamura Point is a reef, exposed to the south, so this SE groundswell lines up nicely with its optimum direction from the south. This is the standout window. Wednesday morning the 5th pushes 4ft from the SE with even more energy (651), still with clean offshores. The swell gets bigger through the week, and by Thursday the 6th morning we see 5ft and energy of 1347, but the wind cranks up to 19 mph cross-offshore. That’s getting strong.
The peak of the run comes Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th of August. Friday morning brings 10ft from the SE with a staggering 17-second period and 4800 energy, but the wind is howling offshore at 25 mph. That’s clean but hard to paddle into—only for the experienced. Saturday morning the 8th hits 13ft from the SSE, energy over 10,000, and a more manageable 19 mph cross-offshore breeze. That’s massive, powerful groundswell. But at this size, with a period over 15 seconds, this reef break will be heavy and the sets will be long and clean. It’s all for experts and it’s the best of the entire forecast. After that, Sunday the 9th morning gets messy with a cross-onshore wind and the swell drops off quickly through Monday.
So, if you’re after the best, mark your calendar for Saturday the 8th of August. Inamura Point will have 13ft of SSE groundswell, a very long 16-second period, and strong energy (10246). The wind is cross-offshore and the morning looks clean. It’s a heavyweight session for the skilled crew. The crowds are likely at a spot like this, so get there early.

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.
