The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
To be honest, the next two weeks at Inamura Point are looking flat and frustrating. The water is 76°F, right around normal for the season, so at least it’s comfortable.
There’s nothing to get excited about until Thursday morning, July 16th. We’ve got a tiny 3ft swell from the SSW, but the period is a short, weak 5 seconds. The one saving grace is the wind – it’s glassy. That’s a huge deal here, meaning the surface will be dead flat and clean. It’s still just ordinary surf, with combined energy at a low 64, but if you’re jonesing for a paddle, that’s your window.
After that, it’s a desert. Some mornings, like Friday the 17th and Monday the 20th, have cross-offshore breezes, but the swell is barely a foot. Not worth the wax.
The only light on the horizon is the morning of Tuesday, July 28th. The swell picks up to 2ft from the SSE, but the period jumps to 11 seconds, giving it some real groundswell power. The wind is from the NE, a clean cross-offshore, and the energy hits 125 (moderate). It’s not a standout by any means, but it’s the best looking session in the entire 16-day run. Keep an eye on it.
Don’t give up, but don’t expect much.

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.
