The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again with the same story in feet and miles.
It’s a slow start on this stretch. From the 26th of July through the 2nd of August, it’s mostly flat, weak, or just plain ugly. Tiny swell, onshore winds, and “poor surf conditions” is the theme. There’s a tiny bump on the 2nd of August with a clean cross-off breeze and a 1ft SE swell, but it’s not worth paddling out for. Save your energy.
The real show starts building from the 3rd of August. Monday morning the 3rd brings a 2ft ESE swell with a 15-second period – that’s a proper groundswell – and energy of 168. Clean with cross-off wind, but still small. Tuesday the 4th builds, with the morning showing 3ft at 16 seconds and energy of 459. Still clean. By Tuesday afternoon, it’s 3ft at 16 seconds, energy 518. Getting there.
Now for the big moment. The standout is the morning of Friday the 7th of August at Inamura Point. We’re talking a 13ft SSE swell with a 17-second period – a very long period groundswell. The combined energy is a massive 8596. Wind is a light offshore from the ENE at 10 km/h, keeping it glassy clean. This is a reef break, and that long period will make it focus and unload with serious power. This is for experts only – 13ft is way over the 8ft mark, so it’s big, heavy, and not for the faint of heart. Water temp is 27°, which is about average for this time of year.
The day before, on Thursday afternoon the 6th of August, is also a standout. 8ft SSE swell, 17-second period, energy of 3621, and a light cross-off breeze. Excellent for experienced surfers, but it’s the Friday morning that takes the crown.
From the 8th of August, the swell stays huge but the wind turns onshore from the south, messing it up. Saturday morning the 8th still has 13ft SSE with a 14-second period and 9204 energy, but the wind is cross-shore. It’s big, but the quality is gone. After that, it fades fast through the 9th and 10th back to small, onshore slop.
So, the best of the best: Friday morning, August 7th at Inamura Point. Big, clean, powerful groundswell with offshore wind. For experts only. The Thursday afternoon before it is a solid backup. The rest is a long wait for that one incredible session.
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.
