The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Inamura Point over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a grim run. We’re looking at a long, frustrating stretch of poor surf. The first week is a total write-off. From Friday the 28th of August all the way through to Thursday the 10th of September, every check is showing poor surf conditions. That’s a solid two-week gap with nothing worth paddling out for.
The water temperature is sitting at 83°, which is about a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at Inamura Point. Nice for a swim, but it’s not going to help the surf.
Now, there is a flicker of hope right at the very end of the forecast. On Friday the 11th of September, the morning session finally shows some life. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the S, and here’s the kicker – the wind is glassy, coming in from the E at just 3 mph. That’s about as clean as it gets. The combined swell energy is moderate at 250, and the period is a solid 9 seconds, so there’s some push behind it. This is the one standout in the entire 16-day window. This is the session to aim for.
After that, Saturday the 12th of September morning drops back off with a tiny 2ft S swell and a clean but weak 81 energy reading. Won’t be worth the drive unless you’re desperate.
So to sum it up: you’ve got nearly two weeks of nothing, then one glassy morning on the 11th of September that could be pretty special. Mark it on the calendar, because the rest is a slog. Inamura Point is a reef break that likes a good southerly groundswell, and this window just isn’t delivering much.
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.
