Marinas in Okinawa is an exposed reef break that has quite reliable surf. Autumn and winter are the best times of year for waves. Offshore winds are from the east northeast. Most of the surf comes fis in the form of windswells and the ideal wave direction is from the southwest. Reef breaks provide lefts and rights. Best around low tide. Sometimes crowded. Beware of rips, coral and sharks.
