Table - best surf conditions forecast for Inamura Point over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s break this down. We’re looking at a pretty bleak stretch overall, with a whole lot of flat days before anything real shows up.
The main break is Inamura Point, a reef setup for advanced surfers. Starting off, Sunday 12th gives us a 6ft swell from the SSW, with a very long 16-second period and moderate to strong energy (1383). But the wind is blowing onshore, making it a marginal call. Water temp is nothing special, right around normal for the season.
Monday 13th morning is your first real chance. Swell drops to 3ft from the SSW, but the period stays solid at 13 seconds, and the wind goes glassy. That’s clean, smooth conditions, and those long lines will let you take your time paddling out. Energy is low (267), so it’s not heavy, but it’ll be fun for a skilled surfer. Then the sandbar closes up shop. From Tuesday 14th right through the end of next week, it’s tiny, weak, and choppy – poor surf, day after day.
The one true standout comes much later. Saturday 18th morning – that’s over a week out – we finally get a decent pulse. Swell hits 5ft from the SSE, with 12-second period, and the wind is light cross-offshore from the NE. That spells clean, lined-up waves at the point. Energy is moderate (540). For an advanced paddler, this is your best bet. But expect company – crowds are “often” here, so you’ll be sharing.
After that, it’s back to tiny stuff and onshore winds. Saturday 25th has a glassy morning, but the swell is only 1ft. No power there. Honestly, this is a tough outlook. The break is inconsistent by nature, and we’re seeing a long, quiet period that’s pretty normal for the area. If you’re a kite surfer, that Saturday 18th with clean winds and some push might be your session, but for a paddle surfer, it’s the only date worth a gamble. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
Stay hopeful,

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.
