The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. To be straight with you, the next week or so is a real write-off. We’ve got a long, flat spell on our hands at Inamura Point. From today, Sunday the 26th of July, all the way through to Monday the 3rd of August, it’s just tiny, weak, and messy. The swell is barely there, the wind is all over the shop, and the wave energy is pitiful—mostly in the teens to low 40s. You’d be wasting your time. It’s a proper gap of about eight days with nothing to recommend.
The real story starts to build on Tuesday the 4th of August. That’s when things finally wake up. A solid, long-period groundswell from the SE starts to push in. The combined energy jumps to 516 (moderate), and by Wednesday morning the 5th of August, it’s all the way up to 1098 (strong). The swell size builds from 3ft to 5ft, and the period is a dreamy 16-17 seconds. That’s proper groundswell, and for a reef break like Inamura Point, that’s the ticket. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
The standout window is definitely Wednesday morning, the 5th of August. We’ve got clean conditions with a light cross-offshore breeze from the ENE at 3 mph, and the swell is 5ft from the SE at 17 seconds. It’s pushing into the expert zone, but the power and shape will be there for those who can handle it. It’s a fairly consistent break, so you can expect some decent sets, though with a period that long, expect some lulls between the bombs. Be aware that crowds are possible here at Inamura Point.
Thursday the 6th gets bigger, hitting 6ft to 6ft, but the wind turns onshore in the afternoon, so the morning will be the cleaner window. The energy is strong (1548), but the size is now over 5ft, so it’s getting too big for the beginners. Friday the 7th of August through Saturday the 8th of August, the swell peaks at 7ft to 8ft, with energy readings over 2500. That’s expert territory. Saturday morning looks the best with a clean cross-offshore breeze and 8ft SE swell. That’s a serious session for the experienced crew.
After that, the swell drops off quickly on Sunday the 9th and into Monday the 10th, fading back to nothing.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a dud. The second week has a genuine pulse. The best bet is Wednesday morning, the 5th of August, for the cleanest conditions and pumping swell. Saturday morning, the 8th of August, is another standout for the big-wave hunters, though it’s a long-range call so keep an eye on it.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Inamura Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
