A surf spot in Hokuriku (Fukui, Ishikawa, Toyama). Find your own favorite surfing spot on a surf trip to Fukui, Ishikawa and Toyama.
Fukui is roughly divided into Takahama and Mikuni areas, and there are many points where you can surf while avoiding strong north swells and winds due to the complicated coastline terrain. It is relatively easy to access from the Kansai area and is crowded with many surfers, especially in winter. Ishikawa is vulnerable to wind because it has a flat coastline such as Chirihama, but if the direction of the swell and offshore match, it will be a good wave. In Toyama, the west swell is blocked by the Noto Peninsula, so it is difficult to hit the waves, but you can enjoy surfing without being crowded.
There are many beautiful seas on the Sea of Japan side of Hokuriku, and there are many various waves. Let’s plan the Hokuriku surf trip from the beginning of autumn to the winter, with the pressure distribution of high west and low east in autumn and winter.
