The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this next 16-day stretch for Inamura Point is a bit of a test of patience. The first week and a half is pretty much a write-off for anything decent. No real swell to speak of, and the wind is messy. We’re looking at a long gap from now until the end of July with hardly any surf worth paddling out for.
It’s not until Sunday, the 2nd of August that we start to see a pulse of energy. The combined swell energy kicks up to 186 (moderate) in the morning, with a 2ft swell from the S. The wind is glassy, so the surface will be clean. Still, it’s just “surfable” – not a standout.
The real action, and the only true standout in this whole run, looks like it’s shaping up for Monday the 3rd of August. The swell jumps to 5.6ft, building to 6.2ft from the S, with a very long period of 15 to 16 seconds. That is proper groundswell energy, with a combined energy reading of 1474 to 1624 (strong to very strong). For a reef break like Inamura Point, that long period is a big plus – it’ll wrap in nicely. The wind is a light cross-onshore, which is manageable. The water temp is about average for this time of year. This one is for the advanced crew though; anything over 5ft is getting too big for beginners, and the power will be serious. Keep in mind, this is a week and a half out, so treat it as a promising but not locked-in call.
The session falls off a bit on Tuesday the 4th, with the swell dropping to 5ft and the wind picking up to a moderate breeze, though it’s cross-off and clean. The energy is still strong (1393). It’s a better option than the rest of the week, but not the peak.
By Wednesday the 5th and Thursday the 6th, the wind goes absolutely bonkers with a fresh to gale force breeze, making it a total mess. That’s kite surfing territory, not paddle surfing.
So, to sum it up: Wait for Monday the 3rd of August. That’s your window. It’s a long wait, but that’s the one that’s got the power and the potential.

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.
