It was raining quite heavily this morning but the wave forecast looked promising. Recently we have been visiting several points looking for suitable waves. Would today be the same?
As always, the first stop was Yoshida but it had only tiny waves – almost flat. There were only 3 or 4 fisherman there. Surprisingly, they weren’t in the middle of the beach. They were at the far left part. I wonder why. It was raining so hard that I didn’t even bother to take a picture. (Sorry) The second stop was Shizunami. There were a several fishermen and a handful of surfers. It was better than Yoshida but we were hoping for better. So we continued to the third stop – Kashima. (Where we surfed on Saturday and Sunday).
Unfortunately, Kashima was worse than Shizunami. One surfer was coming back to his car and one was sitting in his car thinking about going in or not.  Needless to say, we went back to Shizunami.
Here’s how it looked:
Further to the left (towards the old jetty):
Challenging, but definitely surfable. For the first 30 minutes or so, several sets of heavy waves came in. It was quite a workout! I could certainly feel it when I was writing on the blackboard later in the day!
