The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s take a look at what’s on the menu for Inamura Point over the next couple of weeks.
It’s a slow start, I’m not gonna lie. For several days here, the surf is pretty weak and the wind isn’t playing nice. Tuesday the 25th kicks off with a 4.6ft SSE swell but it’s straight onshore and messy, a real struggle. Through to the end of August and into the first few days of September, the waves are mostly small, poorly shaped, and blown out. We’re talking long stretches where you’d be wasting your time. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
But then, we get a glimmer. On Monday the 7th of September, conditions look nasty, but the following morning, Tuesday the 8th of September, is where it’s at. We’ve got a solid 6.6ft swell from the south with a moderate offshore wind from the NNW at 25 km/h. That’s clean, that’s proper. The combined energy is strong (865), so there’s plenty of push. This is a reef break for advanced surfers only, and it’s a stand-out window. The swell direction is near the optimum S direction for the spot, and that offshore wind will turn it on. Expect some solid, lined-up waves, but crowds are likely here, so get in early.
Later that afternoon on the 8th, it drops off a bit with a cross-onshore wind, but the morning is the real deal. Beyond that, the 9th looks like it fades again. If you’re a beginner, this spot isn’t for you, and anything over 8.2ft is strictly for the experienced crew.
So, bottom line: there’s a few days of doldrums, but the morning of Tuesday the 8th of September is the one to circle. Keep an eye on it.

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.
