Alright, Rusty here, giving you the straight-up story for Inamura Point.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a tricky run ahead. The surf window is real narrow, and even then it’s only really gonna be worth it for the seasoned crew. Don’t expect an easy paddle.
Kicking off on Tuesday, July 7th, there’s a little bump in the water with a 3ft SSE swell pushing in at a very long 15 seconds. The combined energy is weak, sitting at just 447. It’s a reef break, and that long period means it’ll wrap in proper, but the cross-shore wind from the East at 6 mph will put a bit of texture on it. Water temp is 75°, which is about 1° cooler than usual for this time of year, so pretty standard. For me, this is a "wait and see" session – it’s not the standout.
The real story, and the only time I’d really get excited, is Wednesday morning the 8th of July. We’ve got a clean 5ft swell from the SSE, still packing that very long 16-second period. The combined energy jumps up to a moderate 1094, so there’s some push behind it. Best of all, it’s glassy with a light ESE breeze at only 3 mph. That’s going to be clean, lined-up waves at Inamura Point. The swell direction (SSE) is bang on for the optimum S direction the spot loves. It’s a solid choice, but remember this break is for advanced surfers only, and it’s often crowded, so you’ll be sharing the peak.
After that, it turns into a bit of a mess. Wednesday afternoon sees the wind swing onshore from the SSW at 9 mph, and while the swell bumps up to 5ft with strong energy (1477), that wind is going to chop it up. By Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th, the onshores get stronger, with speeds up to 16 mph, making conditions poor for paddling and probably better for a kite. The swell gets a bit too chunky, hitting 6ft on Friday afternoon with a combined energy of 1834, but the wind is howling onshore. That’s expert-only territory, and even then, it won't be pretty.
For the rest of the first week and into the second, it’s a long, dry spell. From Saturday the 11th all the way through to Wednesday the 22nd of July, there’s hardly anything worth paddling out for. The swell drops off a cliff, mostly under 2ft with weak energy, and the wind is nearly always onshore. There are big gaps of 10 days or more with no real surf on offer. You’d be wasting your time.
So, to sum it up: your best bet, and really the only standout, is Wednesday morning the 8th of July. Get on it early. After that, the window slams shut.
Rusty.

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.
