The Lowdown
Alright, crew, Rusty here. Let’s look at Inamura Point. The next few days are dead flat, but there’s some real meat coming later.
Water temp is 81°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. Not a bad thing.
The first few days, from Wednesday morning through the weekend, are a total waste. Tiny, weak swell with combined energy as low as 20-60. Winds are light, but the waves are just not there. You’re looking at a gap of several days with nothing to ride.
The first real standout is Monday, August 3rd. There’s a groundswell arriving from the SSE with a long 18-second period. The swell height is 3ft to 4ft, but the power is real – combined energy hits 527 in the morning, 690 in the afternoon. Winds are light cross-off from the ENE, making it clean. This is a reef break, so that long period will wrap in nicely. It’s not huge, but the quality is top notch. Crowds are possible, so be early.
The swell builds on Tuesday, August 4th, with the SSE swell holding at 17-18 seconds. Heights go to 6ft in the morning, 7ft in the afternoon. Combined energy is strong (1722-2702). Wind is moderate breeze from the NE, still cross-off. This is good for experienced surfers.
Wednesday, August 5th, is the big one. Dawn patrol has an 12ft SSE swell (16-17 second period) with a fresh offshore from the NNE. Combined energy is massive at 7266. This is expert-only territory – 12ft is too big for beginners. The offshore wind will keep it clean and lined up. That’s a serious session.
The swell backs off through the rest of the week. Thursday, August 6th, still has 10ft to 8ft with a risk of thunderstorms, but the wind turns cross-shore in the afternoon, making it messy. Friday, August 7th, drops to 5ft, but with light cross-onshore wind. The weekend of August 8th-9th is smaller and onshore.
Looking ahead to Thursday, August 13th, there’s another pulse. Fresh offshore from the NNE, with an 8ft SSE swell and a 12-second period. Combined energy is strong (2181-1840). It’s promising, but it’s a long way out, so don’t bet the farm on it yet.
Bottom line: first few days are flat. The standout is Monday, August 3rd for the clean, long-period swell. Wednesday, August 5th is for the experts. Everything else is too small, too windy, or too far out.
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.
