Tsujido Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, it’s Rusty again. Let’s break down Tsujido Beach for the next couple weeks.

Right off the bat, Monday the 6th is pretty flat. Swell only 3ft from the SE with a short 7-second period, and some rain around. The morning wind is cross-onshore, but Monday afternoon goes glassy. Still, the waves are tiny and weak – just rideable. Water temp is about 74°, which is normal for the season, so no surprises.

Tuesday the 7th is the first real highlight. Morning delivers a clean 2ft swell from the SSE, but the period jumps to 15 seconds – that’s real groundswell. Wind is offshore from the NNE, so the waves will be clean. The combined energy is moderate (279). Tuesday afternoon gets a little more size (3ft) but the wind goes cross-shore, so not as good as the morning.

Wednesday the 8th is when the swell really builds. By morning we’re looking at 5ft from the SSE with a very long 17-second period. Energy jumps to strong (1532) by morning, then very strong (2432) in the afternoon as the swell hits 6ft. But the wind is cross-onshore both sessions, so it’ll be a bit bumpy. For experienced surfers, the power is there, but the surface won’t be perfect.

Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th keep the size up around 6ft to 7ft from the S and SSW, with long 15-16 second periods. Wind stays cross-onshore, so quality is always marginal. Wave energy is through the roof Friday afternoon (2084) – serious power. This is all for the experienced crew; beginners will find it too big and punchy.

Saturday the 11th is the peak of this run. Morning brings 7ft from the SSW, 17-second period, and energy of 2635 – that’s huge. Wind is cross-onshore again, so it’s going to be a battle. By afternoon, the wind hits 15 mph and the surf is sloppy. This is expert territory, and even then it’s not glassy.

From Sunday the 12th onward, the swell drops fast. We go from 5ft Sunday morning down to 2ft by Tuesday the 14th. The wind stays cross-onshore and sometimes gets fresh (19 mph), so the surf is pretty poor. There’s a long gap of rubbish conditions from the 12th right through to the 20th.

There is a little flicker of hope on the morning of Saturday the 18th and that afternoon – the wind goes glassy, the swell is tiny (2-2ft) from the SSE with a short 7-8 second period, and the energy is weak (75). That’s only for beginners or someone who just wants to float.

After that, Tuesday the 21st morning gives us a glassy 2ft from the S with a 14-second period, and the energy is moderate (181). It’s small and clean, but just rideable.

Overall, the standout is Wednesday morning the 8th and Saturday morning the 11th. Wednesday the 8th morning has that huge 17-second groundswell and strong energy (1532) – it’s a powerful, long-period swell that will really push through at Tsujido, which is a beach break, so expect it to be a bit straight and fast. Saturday morning the 11th has the biggest size (7ft) and the most insane energy (2635), but the cross-onshore wind is a drag. If you’re an expert and want to test your limits, those are the windows. For anyone else, it’s a rough stretch.

Rusty.
