Tsurigasaki Surfing Beach (Tokyo 2020) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s cookin’ at Tsurigasaki Surfing Beach for the next couple weeks.

Honestly, the first part of this forecast is a bust. From Friday the 3rd all the way through to early Wednesday the 8th, there’s nothing worth paddling for. The swell is tiny and weak, with a lot of cross and onshore wind messing things up. Water temp is 71°F, which is 4°F colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll notice that.

Things finally fire up on Wednesday the 8th of July afternoon, with a solid 8ft swell from the SSE riding on a very long 16-second period. The combined wave energy hits 5617 (strong to very strong). That’s proper power, but the wind is blowing onshore from the ENE at 12 mph, so the surface is ragged. It’s a marginal call – big and messy.

Thursday the 9th stays big, 8ft from the SSE with that same long period, but the wind is still cross-onshore. Not the cleanest.

Now, here’s the standout. Friday the 10th of July morning at Tsurigasaki Surfing Beach is your window. Skies are clear, wind is light cross-offshore from the south at just 6 mph. The swell is a solid 8ft from the south with that long 16-second groundswell, and the combined energy is 3597 (strong). It’s clean and powerful, but at 8ft, this is only for experienced surfers. Crowds can be an issue here sometimes, so get on it early.

Saturday the 11th morning keeps the quality high, with a slightly smaller 7ft south swell and offshore winds from the SW at 9 mph. The surface will be glassy – another great session for the confident surfer.

After that, the surf tanks. Sunday the 12th and Monday the 13th are tiny – about 1ft – and barely breaking. The 14th shows a small bump of 2ft south swell, but it’s weak.

There’s a brief glimpse of something on Wednesday the 15th morning, with a 3ft SE groundswell (13-second period) and strong offshore winds from the SW at 19 mph. The combined energy is moderate at 415. It’ll be clean, but that wind is fresh, making the paddle tough. That afternoon turns into a near gale, so forget it.

The final days, the 16th through the 18th, bring back bigger swell, around 6ft to 7ft from the SSE, but the wind stays onshore or cross-onshore. A few marginal sessions, but nothing that’s going to blow you away.

So, to wrap it up: if you’ve got the skills, Friday morning the 10th of July is your best shot. That’s where the swell, wind, and conditions all click. The rest is mostly waiting.

Stay stoked,
Rusty
