In this article, we provide a super easy-to-understand guide to each surf spot, covering everything from location to key characteristics.
Surf Spot Details
① Zushi Beach
Location
Overview
- Spot Name: Zushi Beach
- Seabed: Beach (sand)
- Level: Beginner and above
- Direction: West-southwest
- Swell Direction: West to Southwest
- Best Swell: West-southwest swell
- Features: Waves are not very consistent, but the sandy seabed makes it an ideal spot for beginners. The waves are generally soft and mellow. Since many people enjoy SUP and windsurfing here, there are fewer surfers compared to other spots, making it less crowded.
② Osaki
Location
Overview
- Spot Name: Osaki
- Seabed: Reef (rocky)
- Level: Advanced surfers only
- Direction: South-southwest
- Swell Direction: West-southwest to South-southeast
- Best Swell: South-southwest swell
- Features: Waves are usually inconsistent, but the spot becomes surfable when strong swells arrive from typhoons or low-pressure systems. The rocky reef bottom makes it dangerous for beginners and intermediate surfers. The paddle-out is long and demanding. Depending on conditions, the waves can be powerful and thick, sometimes forming hollow sections and barrels. With well-defined shoulders, long rides are possible. This is a spot highly anticipated by local surfers.

Location
Overview
- Spot Name: Kabune
- Seabed: Reef (rocky)
- Level: Advanced surfers only
- Direction: South
- Swell Direction: West-southwest to South-southeast
- Best Swell: South-southwest swell
- Features: Like Osaki, waves are not frequent, but the spot becomes surfable with strong swells from typhoons or low-pressure systems. The reef bottom makes it dangerous for beginners and intermediate surfers, and the paddle-out is long. The waves are powerful but generally softer than Osaki, making takeoffs slightly easier. Longboarders can also enjoy this spot. It is another location eagerly awaited by local surfers.

Location
Overview
- Spot Name: Tamaishe
- Seabed: Cobblestone with partial reef
- Level: Advanced surfers only
