Tsujido Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright crew, Rusty here, checking in on the Kanagawa coastline. It's a slow start, so don't be in a rush to paddle out.

We're looking at Tsujido Beach for the next couple of weeks, and it's a story of two different chapters. The first few days are a real struggle, with waves barely showing up through the end of August and into the first week of September. The conditions are mostly messy with cross-shore or onshore breezes, and the swell energy is weak, reading between 21 and 278. The period on the 27th morning is a super short 6 seconds, which is just junk. Honestly, there's a big gap of poor to marginal surf from now until the 4th of September. The water is a warm 82°F, about average for the time of year, but that doesn't help the lack of push.

Now, the real story kicks off on Monday, the 7th of September. A solid pulse of S swell starts to fill in overnight, hitting 6ft with a proper 14-second period. The combined energy jumps to 1369, which is a serious number. The wind is light and cross-shore, so it'll be a bit bumpy, but there's a ton of water moving. The afternoon sees it push to 7ft, though with heavy rain and a strong offshore wind, it'll be clean but wild. This is expert territory, as anything over 8ft is for the brave, but this is close enough to be a handful for anyone not on their game.

The standout, without a doubt, is Tuesday, the 8th of September. A 6ft S swell with a 12-second period hits in the morning, and the wind is light offshore. The wave comment says "expect very good surf conditions," and that's the best we've seen. The combined energy is a solid 852. But the real gem is Tuesday afternoon. The swell drops to 5ft, the wind goes glassy, and the period is still a solid 12 seconds. That's a recipe for clean, lined-up waves at Tsujido. The crowd here is "sometimes," so you might have some company, but with a setup like that, it's well worth the paddle. The S swell is right on the money for this break.

Later in the week, the swell drops back down to 4ft with clean offshore winds on the 9th morning, which is still a fun, manageable size for intermediates. The rest of the forecast runs back into small, ordinary surf. So, lock in that Tuesday the 8th afternoon session – that's the one to circle on the calendar.

Rusty.
