Tsujido Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Tsujido Beach over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next week or so is pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, messy, and mostly unrideable surf. The wave energy is barely a whisper, with readings as low as 14 (weak) and only occasionally climbing into the low hundreds. There’s a lot of onshore and cross-onshore wind from the south and southeast, and the water temp is sitting at a warm 80°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Monday, August 24th. The morning session has a little bit of size – around 4ft from the SSE – but it’s a long-period groundswell (16 seconds). That kind of period can make a beach break like Tsujido a bit tricky, often breaking too straight. The energy jumps up to 1389 (moderate), but the wind is light and onshore, which is a bit of a bummer. The models are calling it marginal, and honestly, I’d be looking at the tide chart before getting too excited. The afternoon gets blown out by a 25 km/h (16 mph) southerly.

The standout – and I mean the only one worth circling on your calendar – is the Tuesday, August 25th morning. The swell is pushing up to 7ft from the south, with a 15-second period. That’s a solid groundswell with a lot of push, and the combined energy is a hefty 2376 (strong). The wind is light from the south at 10 km/h (6 mph), which is cross-on, but it’s light enough that it won’t completely ruin it. This is a big, powerful wave – definitely for experienced surfers only. It’s going to be a proper paddle out, and the crowds at Tsujido can be an issue, so expect some company if you’re dropping in. After that, the wind cranks up again, and the quality drops off.

The rest of the window is a write-off. We get another pulse on Thursday, August 27th with 10ft swell, but it’s got a strong 35 km/h (22 mph) onshore wind and rain, making it a complete mess. That’s kite-surfing territory, not paddle surfing. The week after that fades back into tiny, weak waves and onshore junk.

So, for the whole 16-day outlook, the Tuesday morning (August 25th) is your one true shot at some real power. It’s not perfect, but it’s the only time the ocean is showing any real intent. Get on it if you’ve got the skills.

Stay salty,
Rusty
