Omaezaki surf guide

Omaezaki is a surf spot in Shizuoka. The beach faces SSW, so winds from the NNW-ENE are offshore and groom the faces, and swell from the S-WSW works best.

Wind
Beach facesSSW (210°)
Offshore (clean faces)Wind from the NNW-ENE
Onshore (choppy faces)Wind from the SSE-WSW

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 (◎)S-WSW
At an angle (○)SSE-W

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
Reference station (JMA tide table)御前崎

MICHIHIKI does not compute tides itself; it uses the forecast values from the tide tables published by the JMA.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.

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.
