Inner Kom Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Inner Kom has in store for us. This is a reef and point break, and it’s fairly consistent, so there should be plenty to talk about over the next couple of weeks.

We kick off on Tuesday the 11th with a bit of a slow start. The morning has a clean, fresh offshore breeze from the ESE, but the swell is only around 6 ft from the SSW with a 12-second period. The water is sitting at 58°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you might want an extra layer. The combined swell energy is moderate at 942. It’s surfable for sure, but it’s not the best we’ll see. The afternoon stays clean with a fresh offshore, but the swell drops a touch to 4 ft.

Wednesday the 12th is where things start to get interesting. The morning has a gentle offshore breeze from the East, and the swell jumps up to a solid 6 ft from the SW with a very long 18-second period. That’s a proper groundswell. The combined energy jumps to a strong 2452. This is a standout window. That long period means the waves will have plenty of power and shape, and at a point break like Inner Kom, that's a beautiful thing. The afternoon goes glassy with a 7 ft SW swell and a 17-second period, energy at 2440. This is the best on offer from the whole forecast—absolutely pristine conditions for experienced surfers.

Thursday the 13th keeps the quality high. Morning has a clean cross-offshore breeze and a 8 ft SW swell with a 17-second period. The combined energy is very strong at 3538. That’s a lot of water moving. It’s getting big, and at over 8 ft, this is expert territory. The afternoon goes glassy calm with a 7 ft WSW swell, still with a solid 16-second period and energy at 2549. Another glassy session at a point break? Yes please.

Friday the 14th sees the wind shift cross-onshore, and the quality drops off. The swell hangs around 6 ft from the WSW, but it's messy. The conditions stay mixed into the weekend.

Saturday the 15th looks great again. Morning is glassy with a light breeze out of the north, and the swell is a consistent 6 ft from the WSW, 14-second period, with moderate energy at 1325. The afternoon is glassy as well, with a 6 ft WSW swell and energy at 1344. This is another excellent window for a long session, with clean conditions all day.

Sunday the 16th turns choppy with cross-onshore winds, and the swell bumps back up to 7 ft in the afternoon, but it’s not as clean. Monday the 17th sees the swell push up to 10 ft from the WSW in the morning, but the wind is cross-onshore at 9 mph, making it choppy and only for the brave and experienced.

Tuesday the 18th brings clean conditions again with a cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is a serious 12 ft from the SW in the morning with a 13-second period and very strong energy at 3393. That’s a big, powerful swell—experts only, and even then, it’s a handful. The afternoon stays clean but still huge at 10 ft.

Wednesday the 19th is a write-off. The wind is strong and cross-offshore, but the swell period drops to a short 10 seconds, and the energy drops to 910. The forecast calls it poor, and I’d agree. Thursday the 20th improves slightly with a fresh offshore breeze and a 5 ft to 6 ft SW swell, but it’s marginal.

Looking further out, Sunday the 23rd is a real treat. Morning has a light offshore breeze from the ESE and a clean 6 ft WSW swell with a 12-second period and moderate energy at 1408. The afternoon is just as good with a gentle offshore. That is another excellent day for a paddle.

Monday the 24th has a big 10 ft SW swell in the morning with a 14-second period and very strong energy at 3280, with a light breeze keeping it clean. That’s a heavyweight session for experts. The afternoon falls apart with cross-onshore winds.

The last standout is Wednesday the 26th. The morning is glassy with a 6 ft SSW swell, but the period is short at 9 seconds, so the energy is weaker at 727. Still, glassy conditions at a point break mean fun, if not powerful, waves to end the forecast on.

Overall, the standout days are Wednesday the 12th and Saturday the 15th. Both offer glassy or clean offshore conditions with solid, long-period SW swells. These are the days to clear your schedule and get wet.

Stay safe out there.
Rusty.
