The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on the cards over the next couple of weeks for Inamura Point.
To be honest, it's a bit of a slow burn. We've got a solid pulse of south swell pushing through right at the start, but the wind is a mess. Monday the 7th is a write-off with stormy conditions and onshore wind ripping across the break, churning up that 6ft swell. You wouldn't even bother paddling out.
The real window opens up on Tuesday the 8th. The wind swings around to the north, going offshore in the morning and turning glassy in the afternoon. That's your call to action. The swell drops to a clean 5ft in the morning and 4ft in the afternoon, period sitting around 8-9 seconds. Combined energy is moderate at 540, but the conditions will make it feel much better. It won't be giant, but it'll be peaky and fun. That Tuesday morning is the standout of the whole outlook—clean lines, no wind, just you and the sets. Afternoon goes glassy, so if you can sneak a session then, do it.
Wednesday the 9th sees a jump in size up to 8ft, but the wind goes cross-onshore, making it lumpy and hard to read. That's a no-go unless you're really desperate for a paddle.
Thursday the 10th offers a small window with clean, offshore conditions but tiny waves around 3ft to 3ft. It's surfable but very ordinary.
From Friday the 11th right through to Monday the 22nd of September, the swell just drops off a cliff. We're looking at waves under 2ft for the vast majority of that stretch, with only a few pockets of glassy conditions. There's a late pulse showing up on Tuesday the 22nd—a 3ft swell with a very long 17-second period and glassy conditions—which could be a promising but less certain option for the dedicated crew chasing long period groundswell. The energy is moderate at 429, but that long period might make it a bit too straight for the beach break, though it'll be clean.
Overall, it's a tough fortnight. If you're not out on Tuesday the 8th, you're basically waiting until the very end of the run for a whisper of hope.
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.
