Inamura Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Inamura Point over the next couple of weeks.

First off, I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is a real struggle. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple. From now until the morning of the 27th of July, you’re better off waxing your longboard just for the sake of it, because there’s nothing rideable. The swells are tiny, the wind is mostly onshore, and the energy is just not there. It’s a frustrating gap, but it happens.

Now, on the morning of Monday the 27th of July, things start to flicker back to life. We’ve got a tiny 2 ft SSW swell sneaking in with a period of 11 seconds, and the wind is glassy – dead calm. The water temp is sitting at 79°, which is about normal for this time of year. The combined energy is still weak at 92, so it’s barely surfable, but for the first time in a while, you might get a few crumbly little ones to yourself. It’s not going to set the world on fire, but it’s a start.

The real standout, and the only one worth circling on the calendar, is the morning of Wednesday the 29th of July. This is the best we’re going to see. The swell bumps up to 3 ft from the SSW, with a solid 12-second period, pushing the combined energy to a moderate 241. That’s proper groundswell energy. The wind is glassy again – offshore from the S at just 3 mph. This is going to be clean, lined up, and with that long period, Inamura Point should offer some nice, peeling waves. It’s a reef break, so the long period is a good thing here. It’s an advanced spot, and it can get crowded, so expect company. For the morning, that’s the pick of the whole forecast.

The following morning, Thursday the 30th of July, is still worth a look. The swell drops back to 2 ft from the SSW (11 seconds), and the energy is a moderate 110. The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the NE. It’s not as good as Wednesday, but it’s still surfable and clean.

After that, we get a little bump on the morning of Friday the 31st of July, with a 4 ft SW swell, but the period drops to just 7 seconds. That’s weak, windswell energy, and the combined energy of 285 is moderate but messy. The wind is glassy, so it’ll be clean, but the waves will be fat and crumbly. It’s better than nothing.

From Saturday the 1st of August onwards, we fade back into tiny, onshore slop. The wind picks up, the swell drops, and it’s back to the same old story. Not much to get excited about in that second week.

So, to sum it up: the morning of Wednesday the 29th of July is the one to aim for. Glassy, clean, and with some real groundswell push. The 27th is a consolation prize, and the 31st might give you a few weak ones if you’re desperate. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game.

Stay patient, and keep an eye on the charts.

Rusty.
