Table - best surf conditions forecast for Kamakura over the next 16 days.


Alright, let’s talk Kamakura in feet and knots. The next couple weeks are a real slow burn.

There’s nothing worth paddling for until Saturday, the 25th of July, and even that’s marginal. The real standout is Sunday the 26th of July morning. That’s your session. We’ve got a clean 4ft swell from the SE, with a long 15-second period – proper energy. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the ENE at just 3 knots, so it’ll be clean and glassy. The combined energy is moderate at 639. Water temp is about 75°, which is a touch cooler than normal for July, but nothin’ drastic.

The Saturday before that, the 25th, has a little 2ft SE swell with an 11-second period and glassy conditions – surfable but nothin’ to write home about. After Sunday the 26th, it fades fast.

The first couple of weeks are mostly small and blown out. There’s a Monday the 13th of July morning that’s glassy with a 3ft SSW swell, but it’s weak and short period, more for beginners messin’ around. Crowds can show up at Kamakura on those tiny days too.

So, you’re waiting a long stretch – nearly two weeks – for one good morning. The 26th of July is the only true standout. Mark it on the calendar and be ready.

Information about the Kamakura Surf forecast

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

Kamakura is 2 km (1 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.
