The Lowdown

Alright, let’s talk surf. The start is rough, but if you hold out, there’s some serious juice coming.

Right now and through the first few days, it’s a bust. Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th have wind from the NNE and NE blowing onshore or cross-on, with poor, choppy conditions. Swell is tiny or weak, with combined energy between 180 and 453 – not worth suiting up.

Sunday the 13th afternoon, things clean up. Still small, but wind goes SE cross-off, waves are 0.8ft from the ESE at 13 seconds, and the conditions are clean. Energy is 294 (moderate). Just a warm-up.

Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th see cleaner surf. Monday morning has S wind offshore at 6 mph, waves 1ft from the SE, 9 seconds. Tuesday afternoon sees 0.7ft from the E with a very long period of 14 seconds. Combined energy around 401 (moderate). Clean.

Now, the real deal: Friday 18th September. Friday morning is glassy – E wind at just 3 mph, waves 1ft from the SSE with a monster 17-second period. Combined energy is a strong 1653. That’s a proper groundswell. Excellent for experienced surfers. Expect crowds sometimes at Shida. The direction lines up well with the optimum SE.

Friday afternoon steps it up: 3ft from the SE, 16 seconds, clean cross-off wind, energy 3299 (very strong). Good for experts only.

Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th see 3ft to 3ft from the SSE, long 14-15 second periods, glassy or clean. Energy is huge (3326 to 3828). But the break is expected to be too big. Only for the experienced.

Monday 21st through Tuesday 23rd keeps the big stuff – 3ft to 6ft – with strong offshore winds at times, but it’s too big for most. Tuesday afternoon hits 6ft from the S, offshore SSW wind at 9 mph, energy at a massive 6795 (extremely strong). Experts only.

After that, things fade. Wednesday 24th onward is small, weak, or messy. By the 25th, wind’s strong from the NE, cross-onshore and lumpy, energy down to 51 (weak). Not worth it.

Best call: Friday 18th September morning. Glassy, 1ft SSE groundswell at 17 seconds, clean, powerful, and manageable. That’s your session.

Water temp is about 81°F, which is normal for this time of year.

Rusty out.

Information about the Shida Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Shida provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Shida can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Shida 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 (Shida) 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 Shida 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.

Shida is 9 km (6 miles) from the city of Ohara. If you plan a holiday in Chiba, look for hotels and other accommodation in Ohara. Ohara has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
