Here’s what it looked like at Yoshida. But word on the street said that Shizunami was pumping. Surfers are infamous for saying “You should have been here yesterday” or “You should have been at <place 1> instead of <place 2>” so I was skeptical to say the least. However, it is only a few minutes […]

Title Pending… (September 17th)
Got to the beach a little bit later than usual days – arrived just before 7 am. Didn’t really expect good waves – but at least the weather was fine. Not clear enough to see Mt. Fuji, but at least it wasn’t raining!
Trifecta (September 10th)
After an unsuccessful outing on Monday, I was hoping for a better day today. Little did I know that today I would experience something new.
Three Strikes… (September 8th)
Today was NOT a good day for surfing. It was so bad that I didn’t even bother to take any pictures. REALLY. First, we checked out Yoshida. FLAT. Second, we stopped at Shizunami. FLAT. Finally, we visited Kashima. There were a few surfers trying to catch some small waves, but not tempting enough for us […]

I’m still on vacation so the title for this posting isn’t the most appropriate, but it was the best thing that I could think of. Like usual, the waves have been small – would I be pleasantly surprised today??
June 11th – Beach season is coming.
After an exciting but unrewarding morning of surfing the remnants of Typhoon #5 last week, I was looking forward to a regular day at the surf office. As to be expected of rainy season, it was cloudy and drizzly. When I arrived at the beach, here is what I saw…
May 7th…
The wave forecast didn’t look too promising, but I decided to head to the beach anyways. It was pretty windy as well. When I arrived at the beach at around 7 am, there were only 4 surfers in the water. Not a promising sign. As they say, a day at the beach beats a day […]
New home point?
After a brief stop at Ohama beach, we decided to continue along the coast. We drove about 40 kilometers to the nearest surf point (that we know of)… Shizunami Beach – we had heard of this beach, but had never been there before. The wave forecast predicted tiny or no waves, so I didn’t even […]
