The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get into it. Over the next couple of weeks, the surf outlook for Inamura Point (Kagoshima) is a bit of a mixed bag, with a long stretch of tiny, weak waves before a late-arriving pulse of better energy closer to the second week. The water temperature is sitting at 82°, which is a touch warmer than what’s typical for this time of year, so you might not need a full wetsuit right now.

The first few days are pretty grim. From Saturday the 29th of August through the middle of the following week, it’s all small, weak, and short-period stuff. Swell heights are hovering around 0.7ft to 2ft, mostly from the SSW or SSE, with periods under 10 seconds. Combined energy is low, barely cracking 40 (28-42 range). Winds are mainly cross-off or light, keeping things clean, but there’s just not enough push to make it worthwhile. A few days have onshore winds and rain, which do nothing to help. This stretch is a blank run for any decent surf.

Then, come Monday the 7th of September, things start to look up. That morning, we get a moderate offshore breeze from the NNE, with swell building to 2ft from the SSE, period 12 seconds, and combined energy hitting 233. Conditions are clean and there’s some life in the water. It’s still not pumping, but it’s a real improvement.

The standout window shows up on Tuesday the 8th of September. Tuesday morning is the best on offer across the whole forecast. You’re looking at a 4ft swell from the SE, with a period of 13 seconds, pushing combined energy up to 565. Winds are light offshore from the NNE, making for clean, glassy conditions. This is the kind of day that has some punch and shape, though it’s still manageable for intermediates. The afternoon turns a bit questionable with light onshore winds, so get on it early.

After that, Wednesday the 9th holds decent at 3ft from the ESE, period 12 seconds, energy 312, with light cross-off winds. Still clean, but not as strong as Tuesday morning.

From Thursday the 10th onward, the swell drops back, and the wind cranks up strong to near-gale force from the north through the weekend. The swell direction shifts to E and then SSW, with periods around 13-14 seconds, but the wind is so strong it makes paddling out a real mission. Offshore winds are there, but at 28-35 mph, it’s not fun for paddle surfing. The setup at Inamura Point, being a reef break, could handle the swell, but the wind is the story here. If you’re into kite surfing, this might actually be more interesting than paddle surfing.

To sum it up: the first week is a wash, Tuesday the 8th of September is the standout morning, and then the second week gets blown out by strong winds. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because that Tuesday could be a gem.

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.
