The Lowdown
Alright, let's look at what we've got coming up for Inamura Point. Gotta be honest with you, it's a pretty bleak start to the outlook. For the first week and a half, from Friday the 17th right through to Sunday the 26th of July, it's pretty much flat. The swell is tiny, barely a ripple, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, just messing up what little bump there is. You're looking at a solid ten days of nothing worth paddling out for.
The first real sign of life shows up on Monday the 27th of July. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the S with a period of 16 seconds, which is a nice long groundswell. The combined energy is strong (2112), but the wind is blowing straight onshore from the SSW. That's going to make it a bit of a messy, lumpy affair, but it's the first proper swell we've seen. It's a bit too big for beginners, and the onshore wind will be a challenge for everyone.
The real standout, the one to really circle on your calendar, is Wednesday the 29th of July. We get a 5ft SSW swell, period of 12 seconds, and the wind swings around to a cross-offshore from the ENE. That's clean. The combined energy is moderate (609), and the forecast says "expect very good surf conditions." This is the best on offer. For an advanced spot like Inamura Point, a clean 5ft groundswell is going to produce some nice, lined-up waves. It's a reef break, so that longer period groundswell will work well.
The action doesn't stop there. Friday the 31st of July looks promising too, with a bigger 8ft SSW swell, period of 8 seconds. The morning is looking clean with a light cross-offshore wind from the ENE and a strong combined energy of (787). However, that 8ft is getting into expert-only territory. The afternoon gets a bit sketchy, but that morning session on the 31st could be a ripper for the experienced crew.
Saturday the 1st of August looks like it drops off again, with the swell fading and the wind turning back onshore, so that mid-week period is the clear window. Don't waste your energy on the first ten days, just wait for that Wednesday the 29th.
