The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way for Inamura Point.
Honestly, it’s a bit of a lean stretch ahead. The first proper call isn’t until Friday morning the 7th, and even then it’s a mixed bag. We’ve got a 5ft south swell rolling in with a long 13-second period, pushing combined energy to 990 (moderate). But the wind is a cross-onshore from the SSE at 6 mph, so it’s not going to be that clean. It’s surfable for the advanced crew but definitely not a standout. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
Saturday morning the 8th is where things get interesting. The swell drops to 4ft from the south, period at 11 seconds, energy at 312 (weak to moderate). But here’s the kicker: the wind goes glassy. That’s a major positive – clean, smooth conditions for a reef break. This is the best on offer across the whole forecast. For a short window, Inamura Point will be worth the paddle. Just know the crowd can be around, so don’t expect to have it to yourself.
From Saturday afternoon onward, it’s a long, slow fade. Swell drops under 3ft, energy falls into the weak range (often under 100), and the wind mostly stays onshore or cross-off. There are a few mornings with light offshore breezes – like Tuesday the 11th (NNE 16 mph, 2ft) and Wednesday the 12th (N 9 mph, 2ft) – but the waves are tiny and weak. Those days are more about a clean paddle than a real session.
By the second week, it’s grim. From the 14th right through to the 22nd, swell heights hover around 0.7ft to 2ft, and the energy is mostly under 100. A few mornings like Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th offer clean conditions, but the waves are barely there. The only faint glimmer is Friday the 21st morning: a 2ft south swell, 12-second period, 141 energy, and a light cross-off breeze from the ENE. Surfable but ordinary.
All in all, the standout is Saturday morning the 8th. Glassy conditions, a bit of south swell, and a reef that’ll hold it. For the rest, you’re waiting on a change that isn’t coming in this window.
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.
