The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you—this stretch for Shichirigahama is a long, flat spell. We’re looking at a solid run of poor surf conditions through the first week and a half, with nothing worth paddling out for until the very end of the window. Let’s break it down.

From Wednesday the 22nd through to Friday the 31st of July, it’s a real desert. The swell is tiny, mostly under 2ft, coming from the SE or SSW with periods all over the shop—some short, some long, but none of it delivering any real energy. The combined energy rarely cracks 50 (e.g., 11, 28, 49), so it’s weak. Winds are a mix of onshore, cross-off, and a few glassy mornings, but the waves are just too small to bother with. There’s a few clean windows on the 27th and 28th mornings with glassy conditions, but the swell is a pathetic 1ft—barely a ripple. It’s a tough stretch for a river-mouth break that’s already inconsistent.

Then we hit the first of August, and things finally start to breathe. Saturday the 1st of August brings a bit of hope: the morning sees a 1ft ESE swell with a 17-second period, pushing combined energy to 122 (moderate). The wind is light and cross-off from the NE, keeping it clean. It’s still small—beginners could handle it—but the surfable-but-ordinary rating says it’s rideable, not special. The water is a warm 80°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no wetsuit needed.

The real standout, if you’re desperate, is Sunday the 2nd of August morning. The swell holds at 2ft from the ESE, period a solid 18 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 197 (moderate). The wind is light and cross-off from the ENE, so you’ve got clean little lines. That long-period groundswell will be better for the river-mouth setup here, giving it a bit more shape, but it’s still small. It’s the best on offer across the whole 16 days, but don’t expect pumping barrels. The consistency is inconsistent, so you’ll need to pick your sets.

Monday the 3rd of August morning is similar: 2ft ESE, 18-second period, 188 energy, and clean with a cross-off breeze. It’s a repeat of Sunday, so if you miss it, you’ve got another chance. After that, from the 4th onwards, it fades back to tiny, poor surf through to the 6th.

So, overall: a long, flat first week, then a few small but clean mornings on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd of August. The pick of the lot is Sunday the 2nd of August morning—it’s the most energy and the cleanest conditions. But keep your expectations in check; this is a rare break that rarely fires, and this window is no exception.

Stay patient, 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.
