Wind
Beach facesS (175°)
Offshore (clean faces)Wind from the NW-NE
Onshore (choppy faces)Wind from the SE-SW

Offshore wind blows from land to sea and keeps the faces clean. Onshore blows from sea to land and makes the same size harder to ride. In between is sideshore.

Swell directions that work
Straight in (◎)SE-SSW
At an angle (○)ESE-SW

The closer the swell direction is to the beach's facing, the more of a distant low's energy arrives intact. Off-angle swell produces smaller waves for the same swell height.

Tide
SourceOpen-Meteo (sea-level model, mean sea level)

Tides for this spot are derived from the Open-Meteo sea-level forecast (mean sea level). The datum differs from tide tables, so also check local tide information.High/low tide times and the tide graph are on the spot page.

Wave-size guide by level
BeginnerUp to 0.8m (knee-thigh)
Above 1.2m it gets hard. With periods of 10s or more the same height carries more power, so be extra careful.
Intermediate0.8-1.5m (waist-chest)
Under 0.5m is underwhelming; above 2.0m it gets tough.
Advanced1.5m+ (chest-shoulder and up)
Long-period swell makes it better. Under 0.8m is on the underwhelming side.

General guidance only. It varies with the bottom, the day's swell quality and your own experience. Set your level on the spot page to see a ◎○△ rating for the day's conditions.

This page is a general guide derived mechanically from the beach orientation; how waves actually break depends on the seabed, season and the day's swell. Everything MICHIHIKI shows is a forecast. Decide whether to enter the water only after checking the beach yourself and official sources such as the JMA.
