The Lowdown
Right folks, Rusty here. I’ve been staring at the charts for Inamura Point, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch for a solid paddle. This is an advanced reef break, exposed to the south, and it's pretty consistent, but the wind and swell just aren't playing ball for a long while.
The first week and a half is a write-off for any decent surf. From Saturday the 18th to Sunday the 26th of July, we’re looking at a real flat spell. The swell is tiny, almost nothing to get excited about, with weak wave energy (20-72). The wind is also onshore from the south pretty much the whole time, just chopping it all up. You’d be fighting a losing battle out there.
The first sign of life comes on Monday the 27th of July. The swell starts to build, with a moderate combined energy of 166-379, but the wind is still onshore and the surf is described as "poor". It’s not until Tuesday the 28th that the swell pushes up to 5 ft, with energy climbing to 609, but again, it's onshore and messy. A real shame.
Now, we've got a proper window of opportunity from Wednesday the 30th of July through Friday the 1st of August, but with a big caveat. The swell is solid, coming in from the south at 7 ft to 7 ft, with a very long period of 14 to 15 seconds and strong to very strong energy (1695-1858). That is a serious groundswell, and at a reef break, it should be holding up well. The standouts are definitely Thursday morning the 30th and Friday afternoon the 31st of July. Thursday morning has a light offshore east-northeast breeze 15 km/h, giving clean conditions, and the surf is described as "excellent for experienced surfers". Friday afternoon has a light cross-offshore breeze 10 km/h, also clean. For a big, powerful south swell with that kind of period, those are your best bets. But look, I have to say it: at 7 ft to 7 ft, this is only for experts. The rips will be strong, the sets will be big, and the long period will mean long lulls between them. This is not a place for beginners.
The quality drops off again on Saturday the 1st of August, with the swell mixing up with a rain risk and strong cross-onshore winds, and then it fades out into Sunday.
So, to sum it up: you’ve got a long, flat gap, then a proper window of big, powerful, clean swell for the experts only. The best on offer is Thursday the 30th of July morning and Friday the 31st of July afternoon at Inamura Point. It’s a long-range promise, but it looks like it could deliver for those who are ready for it.
Rusty.

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.
