The Lowdown
Alright, this is a tough one to call. Let’s be real – Inamura Point is not serving up much for the next couple of weeks. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Right now, and for the next several days, we’re looking at a pretty flat spell. From Wednesday 12th August through to around Wednesday 26th August, the swell is tiny, mostly around 1.0ft to 2ft, with weak energy (22 to 99). The wind is often cross-off or onshore, which keeps things messy, and the wave quality is rated as “poor surf conditions” almost the whole time. There’s a long stretch of days where you’d be better off staying home.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t pop up until Thursday 27th August. On the morning of the 27th, we get a jump in swell to 3ft from the south (11-second period), with moderate energy (248). The wind is a light cross-offshore from the ENE, which will keep things clean. This is the standout of the entire forecast – it’s the only session that’s labeled “expect good surf conditions.” It’s not huge, but it’s the best on offer. For a reef break like Inamura Point, that south swell direction works well, and the 11-second period means there’s some proper shape to the waves. Still, it’s a long way out, so treat it as promising but not locked in.
The rest of the period after that is a return to small, onshore slop, with no real quality. Basically, you’ve got one brief window to wet your line: the morning of Thursday 27th August. Everything else is a write-off.

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.
