Inamura Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, I see the data for Inamura Point. Let's get into it, folks.

We've got a bit of a mixed bag coming up. Right off the bat, the first few days are a write-off – we're talking tiny, weak swell with lousy wind. It's not until Tuesday the 7th that anything even starts to look surfable, and even then it's a bit of a tease. There’s a solid stretch of quality surf from Tuesday afternoon right through to the following Sunday morning, but you've got to be an experienced surfer to handle it. Then it fades out again, and the last week of the forecast window is pretty grim, with the odd tiny, ordinary wave.

Now, for the standout. Your best call is going to be Wednesday morning, the 8th of July. We're looking at clean, cross-offshore winds coming out of the ENE at a light 6 mph. The swell is a solid 4 ft from the SSE, with a very long period of 18 seconds. This is proper groundswell rolling in. The combined energy is strong at 1875. Now, a period that long on a point break means the waves will be set-y and powerful, with long lulls between the sets, but the shape should be excellent. This is strictly for the advanced crew. The morning of Thursday the 9th is also a ripper, with glassy conditions, a 5 ft SSE swell, and a period of 15 seconds – that’s another excellent window for those who know what they’re doing.

The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing to worry about there. Just know that from Tuesday the 7th onward, the swell is over 5 ft, so it's getting into the "too big for beginners" territory, and by Friday the 10th and Saturday the 11th, we're seeing 7 ft+ waves, which is expert-only stuff.

So, to sum it up: endure the flat start, then get on it Wednesday morning for the best of the run. After that Sunday morning, the 12th, the swell drops right out. The second week looks pretty bleak, with only weak, short-period waves and poor conditions. It's a classic case of a short, sharp pulse of winter swell.

Rusty out.
