Inner Kom Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve got a look at the next couple of weeks for Inner Kom. This is a reef and point setup.

Right off the bat, the first few days are a total write-off. Friday and Saturday are a no-go. The wind is howling – up to 40 mph – and while it’s offshore, it’s a gale. You’d be fighting just to get out, and the waves are tiny, under 3 ft. The combined swell energy is weak, only 111 to 203, so there’s nothing to work with anyway. Water temp is sitting at 58°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year.

We finally get a window on Sunday the 6th. That’s the first real standout. The morning sees a solid 8 ft SW swell with a very long period of 18 seconds, and the energy is pumping at 3681. The wind is a moderate offshore breeze from the ESE, so it’s clean. This is big, powerful groundswell. For a reef and point like Inner Kom, that long period is going to wrap in perfectly, giving you some real shape. That said, at 8 ft, this is for experienced surfers only. The afternoon holds at 7 ft with a 16-second period and the same clean offshore wind.

Monday the 7th is a drop-off. The swell drops to 7 ft, but the wind swings cross-on, making it choppy and only marginal.

Tuesday the 8th is a treat. The morning is glassy – wind is a light 3 mph from the NW. The swell is a more manageable 5 ft from the SW with a 12-second period, and the energy is moderate at 657. This is a good call for a broader range of surfers, as it’s clean and not too heavy. The afternoon gets messy again with a cross-shore wind.

The pattern stays up and down through the middle of the week, with marginal conditions and cross-off winds. The bigger story is the next standout on Saturday the 12th. The morning brings a solid 10 ft SW swell with a 16-second period and massive energy (4070). The wind is a strong offshore from the ESE, so it’ll be clean, but that strong breeze makes paddling tough. Again, this is expert territory.

After another lull, we get a real gem on Tuesday the 15th. Morning is looking excellent with a 8 ft SSW swell, 14-second period, and 2050 energy. The wind is a moderate offshore breeze, so it’s clean. This is the sweet spot for experienced surfers – big but not insane.

The final standout is way out there on Friday the 18th. The morning is exceptional. A 13 ft S swell (13 seconds) is pumping with 7305 energy, and the wind is a light offshore breeze, making it clean. This is huge, and it’s expert-only. The afternoon drops to 8 ft but stays clean. Worth noting, but it’s a long way off and less certain.

Overall, if you’re experienced, Sunday the 6th and Tuesday the 15th are your best bets. For the brave, the 18th looks massive but promising.

Rusty.
