About Miyuki's
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces NW (321°), so it takes swell from the NW. The wind blows offshore from the SE (141°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up, because of a steep sea floor. It works in 4–18 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very steeply: 10 m deep about 100 m out (1 in 8). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 22°C in January, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 29°C in July, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Ginowan. Within 5 km we also list 1 dive site.
Water about 26°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
