Okinawa Surf Spots
16 Selections of Surfing Spot in Okinawa
Coral island where you can surf all year round
Introducing all the surf spots in Okinawa.
Okinawa is an island surrounded by coral reefs on all sides, so you can always break at some spot and enjoy the perfect waves as long as the swell and wind conditions are met.
The Okinawa surf scene has been particularly exciting in recent years. The potential is top class among Japanese surf spots, including unlisted secret spots.
Mainly the west coast (East China Sea side) is the monsoon season from October to April, and the east coast (Pacific side) is the main typhoon season from April to October. Most of them are point breaks on the reef, so check the tide carefully, surf before and after high tide, be sure to bring reef boots, and secure a surf guide locally. Avoid surfing at your own discretion.
The reason is that it is necessary to take sufficient measures against the hubs that are common in the north and the Tentacruel that appears frequently in the beginning of autumn, so be sure to visit a local surf shop or arrange an online guide in advance.
