The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at what’s coming up for Osaki Point. Let’s be straight with you—this stretch looks rough. The wind is stubbornly onshore or cross-onshore from the northeast for days on end, and the sea state is described as "poor surf conditions" for most of the first week. The combined energy of all swells is moderate to strong, with values like 610 to 2048, but with that wind direction, it’s just messy. There’s a brief window of interest around Wednesday the 9th, where the swell picks up to 8ft to 10ft from the SSE, with a 10-second period, and the wind eases to a light breeze. The forecast says "marginal" but there’s a chance of clean-ish conditions if the wind stays light. The crowd factor is "sometimes" here, so it won’t be a circus. Still, the water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing weird.
After that, the swell drops and the onshore winds come back. The second week is a write-off—small, weak energy (values like 40 to 112), and mostly onshore wind. There’s a tiny glimmer on Thursday the 17th, with glassy conditions and a 3ft E swell, but the period is a short 6 seconds, so it’ll be weak and lumpy. Honestly, the best call is Wednesday the 9th, early morning. If you’re an intermediate surfer, that 8ft SSE swell with light wind is your best bet. Don’t get your hopes up for the rest.
Rusty.

Information about the Osaki Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Osaki Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Osaki Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Osaki Point surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Osaki Point) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Osaki Point may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Osaki Point is 14 km (9 miles) from Muroto. If you plan a holiday in Shikoku, look for hotels and other accommodation in Muroto. Muroto has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
