Right, Rusty here, taking a look at the outlook for Shichigahama.
We’re starting off with a whole lot of nothing. From Thursday the 3rd through Monday the 6th of July, it’s pretty much flat and grim. Not worth paddling out for.
The first real opportunity shows up on Tuesday morning, July 7th. It’s clean with a moderate offshore breeze from the NNE, shaping up a chest-high SE swell. The water’s at 74°, which is normal for this time of year. The combined swell energy is moderate at 854, with a long 17-second period, so that’s some proper groundswell working in. It’s a standout moment, but only for the experienced.
Wednesday the 8th is the real highlight. The morning is firing with a clean, moderate offshore wind from the NE and head-high waves at 6ft from the SSE. The combined energy is very strong at 2089, bringing powerful, meaty sets. The afternoon stays solid with a lully cross-off breeze. This is the peak, but with that size, it’s expert territory only.
Thursday the 9th keeps the energy going at 6ft from the S, with the combined energy still very strong at 1611. The morning is clean, but the afternoon goes onshore and gets messy. Friday the 10th has bigger swell at 7ft, but poor onshore winds ruin it. Saturday the 11th is onshore again as the swell backs off.
Then there’s a quiet gap from Sunday the 12th through Tuesday the 14th, with small, mostly messy waves, though Monday the 13th offers a glassy, knee-high window that’s surfable but nothing special.
Into the second week, things look up again. Thursday the 16th of July morning is a standout with a moderate offshore breeze from the NE and waist-to-chest high waves (3ft to 5ft) from the SE. The combined energy is moderate to strong (669 to 844) with a solid 14-second period. Friday the 17th morning also looks clean with a 3ft S swell. These are promising but keep in mind it’s further out.
The best of the bunch is definitely Wednesday the 8th, with Thursday the 9th morning close behind. For the second week, Thursday morning the 16th is your best bet.
Stay stoked,
Rusty

Information about the Shichirigahama Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Shichirigahama provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Shichirigahama can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Shichirigahama 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 (Shichirigahama) 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 Shichirigahama 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.
Shichigahama is 6 km (4 miles) from the city of Chigasaki. If you plan a holiday in Kanagawa, look for hotels and other accommodation in Chigasaki. Chigasaki has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
