The Lowdown
Righto, let's have a look at what's on the table for Inamura Point over the next couple of weeks.
This is a tough stretch, my friends. Inamura Point is a reef setup for the advanced crew, but honestly, looking through this 16-day window, we are in a proper drought. There are no standout sessions. The first week and a half is a write-off. From Sunday the 9th right through to Friday the 21st of August, it’s all knee-high or smaller, with onshore or cross-onshore junk. There's a few moments of clean conditions with offshore or glassy wind – like Tuesday the 11th morning with glass, or Wednesday the 12th morning with a gentle offshore – but the swell is tiny, around 2 ft from the SSW. The water temp is sitting at 81°, which is normal for this time of year, but that's about the only thing that's average. The combined energy is weak, barely cracking 100 (70-111 range) during that whole period. It’s just not worth paddling for.
The real change comes on Saturday the 22nd of August. The morning has a solid SSW groundswell pushing 3 ft with a long period of 13 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 321 – that’s moderate energy, finally! The wind is a cross-offshore from the NNE, so it should be clean. The tide might be the only thing to watch, but this is the first time we see a proper "good surf conditions" comment. The swell direction is bang on from the south, which is the optimum for this exposed reef.
Saturday afternoon builds a bit to 4 ft, but the period drops slightly and the wind shifts, making it more marginal. Sunday the 23rd morning holds similar promise with 3 ft at 12 seconds and a cross-off breeze, giving us another window of decent energy (328). However, that southwesterly wind swings onshore Sunday afternoon and kills it.
So, if you're an advanced surfer and you're desperate, the pick of a very lean bunch is Saturday the 22nd of August morning. That's your one real shot at a clean, chest-high wave with some proper push behind it. The long-period groundswell will be best on the point, but it’s the only game in town. Don't expect a crowd-free party though; with this being the only real feature in weeks, it might be busier than usual.
Honestly, for the rest of the time, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. The onshore breezes and small, weak swell just aren't playing ball for us.
Stay patient, and keep an eye on the forecasts – things can change.

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.
Inamura Point is 7 km (4 miles) from the city of Kamakura. If you plan a holiday in Kanagawa, look for hotels and other accommodation in Kamakura. Kamakura has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
