Inamura Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at how things shape up for Inamura Point over the next couple of weeks.

Truth be told, it’s a rough start. The first real chance of anything you’d paddle out for doesn’t come until Thursday morning, August 27th, and even then, it’s pretty ordinary. Water temp is sitting about 82°F, which is about average for this time of year.

The first few days are a total wash. Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th are garbage—onshore winds, small, messy waves, and the energy reading is pitiful. Thursday morning the 27th finally goes glassy with a light offshore from the WNW, but the swell is tiny at 1ft. That afternoon the wind switches to a clean offshore from the NNE, but the swell period drops to just 5 seconds. You could surf it, but you’d be bored.

Friday the 28th morning is the best of the first week. We get 4ft of SW swell with a 6-second period, cleaned up by a gentle NNE offshore. The energy is still weak at 175. After that, from Friday afternoon all the way to Tuesday the 1st of September, it’s essentially flat or barely ankle-high, with some glassy mornings but nothing to catch.

We get a little blip on Wednesday morning the 2nd of September. A 2ft S swell with a 9-second period, ENE cross-off wind, and clean conditions. The energy is barely there at 102. Thursday the 3rd of September morning is glassy but just 2ft. It’s a frustrating watch.

Now, the only true standout in the whole 16 days. Sunday the 6th of September. The morning. A moderate north-northeast offshore wind at 12 mph cleans up a 3ft SSE swell. The period hits a nice 12 seconds, and the energy climbs to a moderate 277. That’s a groundswell—longer lulls between sets, easier paddle outs, and the reef will hold it well. That is your session. The one to wait for.

Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th of September still have rideable waves—Tuesday morning especially, with 4ft from the SSE, an 8-second period, moderate energy of 208, and clean conditions with a north-northeasterly cross-off. But after that, the wind turns onshore or cross-on again and the swell dissolves into nothing for the rest of the run.

So here’s the truth: this is a long, flat stretch with just a few small windows. The only morning that really stands out is Sunday the 6th of September. That’s your best bet. The rest is mostly a good breeze for a kite or a flat calm sea. It could change, but right now, patience is the name of the game.

Rusty.
