Alright, let’s talk Inamura Point. The long-range forecast is a bit of a slow burner, with a lot of flat, wind-battered days to start. You’ll be waiting for the good stuff.
The first real sign of life comes around Monday, August 4th. The swell starts to push in that morning, about 5ft from the SE with a super long 18-second period. That’s proper groundswell energy, showing a strong 1610 in the combined energy reading. The wind looks good, a clean cross-offshore breeze from the NE. This is an advanced reef, so when it’s on, you’re in for a serious ride. The optimum direction is from the S, so the SE isn’t perfect, but the power and the clean conditions will more than make up for it.
The biggest event of the whole 16-day window is shaping up for Wednesday, August 5th. Expect 10ft in the morning, building to nearly 12ft by the afternoon, all from the SSE. The period stays at a massive 18 seconds, and the energy is off the charts – 5989 in the morning and a colossal 7659 in the afternoon. The wind is a fresh offshore from the NNE. This is big, heavy, and clean – expert-only territory. 12ft on a reef is serious business. Crowds are often around here, and on a day like this, it’ll be a full house.
The swell holds into Thursday the 6th, with 12ft in the morning and 10ft in the afternoon, though the energy starts to back off. The wind stays favorable. After that, it’s a quick fade. Friday the 7th still has some size at 8ft, but the wind gets a bit messy. By the weekend, it’s dropping fast, and by the middle of the following week, you’re back to tiny, onshore slop. So, mark your calendar for Monday the 4th through Thursday the 6th of August, with Wednesday the 5th being the absolute magic day. The water is running a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, about 81°.

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.
