Chikura in Kanagawa and Chiba is an exposed beach break that does not work very often. Summer offers the best conditions for surfing. Ideal winds are from the northwest. Most of the surf comes fis in the form of windswells and the best wave direction is from the south. Waves at the beach are both lefts and rights. Rarely crowded here. Take care of rocks in the line up.
