Tsujido Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s cut to it—Tsujido Beach is looking pretty bleak for the next week and a half. From Tuesday the 18th through Sunday the 23rd, it’s a flat spell. We’re talking waves barely breaking a foot and a half, with the combined energy in the water stuck in the low double digits and teens. Winds are mostly cross-onshore, leaving the surface bumpy and uninviting. There’s a moment on Saturday morning the 22nd where the wind drops and it goes glassy, but with that little swell, it’s not worth getting wet for. That’s a solid six-day dry spell, plain and simple.

But hang in there, because the ocean flips the switch on Monday the 24th. A proper groundswell fills in from the SSE, pushing surf to around 5 feet with a 17-second period. That’s long-period energy, no doubt. The combined swell energy jumps to 1328, a real push of power. With light winds and a clean surface, that Monday morning is the first proper standout of the run. It’s a beach break, so the long period might make things a little walled in places, but with conditions that clean, you’d be mad not to paddle out.

If you’ve got the skills, Tuesday the 25th is your day. Morning sees solid 7-foot waves from the SSE with that same long 16-second period, and the energy is cranking at 2396—strong stuff. It’s glassy with barely a breath of wind, and these are proper expert conditions. That’s the best session of the whole two weeks, no question. Wednesday the 26th keeps it going with around 5 feet in the morning, but the power fades a bit. From Thursday the 27th into Friday the 28th, the wind turns more cross-shore and onshore, and the surf gets ragged, even though it stays in the 5 to 6-foot range.

The weekend is a bust. Saturday the 29th sees onshore winds kicking up to 25 km/h, leaving the ocean chopped and messy. Sunday the 30th is even worse—rain, strong cross-offshore winds near 35 km/h, and the swell drops right off. That’s kite-surfing territory, not paddle surfing.

The tail end of the run, into early September, is a bit of a lottery. Monday the 31st has a whopper of a swell—over 8 feet from the SSE with massive energy (2781)—but the winds are cross-onshore and the conditions are ragged. It’s a big, raw day, not a clean one. After that, things fade back to 3 to 4 feet with light winds and poor quality as we head into the 2nd. That long-range stuff is promising but uncertain, so keep your plans flexible.

Water temp is 81°, which is about average for this time of year. Stay patient, keep an eye on Tuesday the 25th, and if that’s too big, the Monday morning glass might be your best bet.

Rusty.
