Inamura Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Inamura Point for the next couple of weeks. This reef break needs a good south swell and northerly offshore wind to get goin’, and we’ve got a bit of a mixed forecast. The water’s about 82°, which is a bit warmer than usual for this time of year.

We start on Saturday, August 1st, with a tiny 1ft swell from the SSW and a light onshore breeze. It’s flat and sloppy, not worth a look.

Sunday the 2nd brings cleaner conditions in the morning with a 1ft ESE swell and a cross-offshore breeze, but the energy is weak (107). The period is a very long 16 seconds, which is groundswell, so it’ll wrap around the reef, but there’s just no punch. Afternoon turns messy.

Monday the 3rd sees 3ft to 3ft SE swells with a long 16-second period. The wind is cross-offshore, keeping it clean, and energy climbs to 303–433. Still, it’s too small to get excited about.

Now Tuesday the 4th gets interesting. We’ve got a 5ft SE swell in the morning, building to 6ft in the afternoon, both with a 16–17 second period. The wind is fresh and cross-offshore, so the face will be clean. Energy jumps to 1068–1694, showing some moderate power. This one’s for the advanced crew, as it’s over 5ft.

Wednesday the 5th is the real standout. We’re looking at 8ft swell from the SSE on Wednesday morning, with an offshore wind blowing at 16 mph from the NNE. That’s perfection. The period is 16 seconds, so it’s a proper long-period groundswell, and the energy is roaring at 3319. This is big, powerful, and clean. It’s for experts only, as it’s well over 8ft. The afternoon stays big at 8ft, but the wind goes a touch cross-offshore. Still, this is the best on offer.

Thursday the 6th drops slightly to 7ft in the morning and 8ft in the afternoon. The morning has clean conditions and a 14-second period, energy still strong at 2995. The afternoon gets a southerly onshore breeze, which will ruffle it up. The morning window is the go.

Friday the 7th is another cracker for the early session. We’ve got 8ft from the S in the morning, with a light cross-offshore breeze making it glassy. The period is 15 seconds, and energy is 2544. This is excellent for experienced surfers. Afternoon turns messy with an onshore breeze.

Saturday the 8th has a 6ft SSW swell in the morning with light cross-offshore winds and clean surf. Energy is still moderate at 1194. Afternoon drops to 5ft but gets onshore again.

From Sunday the 9th through to Sunday the 16th, the swell fades steadily, dropping from 4ft down to 1ft. Winds are mostly cross-offshore or offshore, but the waves get too small. There’s a brief glassy moment on Monday the 10th with 3ft SSW swell, but it’s weak energy.

To wrap it up: Wednesday the 5th is the one—big 8ft SSE swell, offshore wind, and massive power. Friday the 7th morning is also a top pick. For the experienced surfer, those are your days. Expect a crowd.

Rusty.
