Inamura Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. For the next 16 days, Inamura Point is looking at a long stretch of flat, tiny, or messy conditions before a couple of late standouts that could be worth the wait.

Right now, from Friday the 3rd right through the first week and into the second, the surf is just not happening. Friday morning kicks off with a tiny 2ft southerly swell at a short period, but with cross-offshore wind, it’s a write-off. That sets the tone for days: we’ve got a gap of nearly a week with nothing worth paddling out for.

Saturday the 4th stays glassy but flat, and Sunday the 5th is barely a ripple. Monday the 6th has a bit more energy starting to show—combined swell energy hits 106 (moderate)—but with period dropping again and onshore wind, it’s still poor. Tuesday the 7th we start to see a real change: a 4ft SSE groundswell arrives in the morning with a long 17-second period, and combined energy jumps to 754 (moderate). But it’s cross-onshore with small wind ripples, and the afternoon goes onshore and bumpy. Still, you can see the ocean waking up.

Wednesday the 8th and Thursday the 9th bring solid 6ft to 7ft SSE and S swells, but with strong onshore or cross-onshore winds and energy readings in the thousands (strong to very strong), it’s blown out and choppy. This setup looks more like a kite-surfing day than a clean paddle session.

The standout arrives Friday morning July 10th. Inamura Point cleans right up: glassy conditions, offshore light breeze, and a solid 8ft south swell with an 18-second period—very long-period groundswell. Combined energy hits 3903 (very strong wave energy). This is pumping, but at 8ft, it’s for the experienced crew only. It’s a reef break, so that long period will wrap in nicely. Expect crowds to be likely here.

Saturday the 11th morning is your next good look. Still clean with cross-offshore ENE breeze, and the swell drops slightly to 7ft from the SSW at 16 seconds. Combined energy still sits 1982 (strong). Another solid morning for advanced surfers, though by afternoon onshore wind kills it.

Sunday the 12th morning sees the swell fade to 4ft from the SSW, still with a moderate 13-second period, and it’s glassy again—combined energy 474 (moderate). Might be a bit small for the hard chargers, but for a clean longboard or fun mid-length session, that could be the pick for those who aren’t after the big stuff.

After that, the energy drops right off. From Monday 13th onward, we’re back to tiny or onshore junk, with combined swell energy dipping below 100 (weak). There’s a little blip on Friday 17th—small but with clean cross-offshore and glassy spells—but nothing to get excited about.

Overall, the action is all in the second week. Circle Friday 10th morning and Saturday 11th morning for the real deal. Everything else is either flat or a battle with the wind.
