About Toudaishita
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces E (85°), so it takes swell from the E. The wind blows offshore from the W (265°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 3–11 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves steeply: 10 m deep about 150 m out (1 in 17). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 20°C in February, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 29°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Nakanokami, 6.8 km away (about 15 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 2 surf spots.
Water about 25°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
