Table - best surf conditions forecast for Inner Kom over the next 16 days.
Alright, let's switch this over for the imperial crew. Rusty here, giving you the same picture in feet and miles.
We're starting a bit flat, so don't expect much in the first couple of days. The good stuff is mid-week and beyond, with a couple of sessions you need to be in the water for.
First up, Inner Kom. Water temp is around 60°, about normal. We've got a long-period groundswell out of the SSW at 12 seconds, with a combined energy of 1363. Saturday is clean with a fresh offshore ESE wind, but the waves are mixed and only marginal. Sunday is similar, just a bit smaller.
The action kicks off proper on Wednesday the 15th of July. Morning is quiet, but the afternoon is a standout. A solid 10ft swell from the SSW, a 15-second period, and a combined energy of 3570. It's clean with a light cross-offshore breeze. This one is for the experts only.
Now for the absolute best session: Thursday the 23rd of July. The morning is poor with a cross-onshore breeze, but the afternoon? Pure glass. Inner Kom gets a 8ft SW groundswell with a 14-second period and a combined energy of 2185. The wind drops to glassy, flat calm. The long period and reef/point setup will be absolutely perfect. Do not miss this.
Before that, the 22nd is a complete washout with strong cross-onshore winds.
Friday the 24th is another solid call. Clean waves all day with a 7ft to 6ft SSW swell and a moderate offshore SE breeze. Great conditions for experienced surfers.
The weekend of the 25th and 26th keeps the waves coming, but the wind gets stronger. Saturday the 25th morning is clean with a 8ft SSW swell and a light cross-offshore breeze. Sunday the 26th is windier with a strong offshore SE breeze and clean waves, but getting out will be a chore.
So there you have it. The main event is the afternoon of Thursday the 23rd of July at Inner Kom. That glassy, long-period groundswell is the one to clear your schedule for.
Rusty.

Information about the Inner Kom Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Inner Kom provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Inner Kom can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Inner Kom 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 (Inner Kom) 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 Inner Kom 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.
