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

Alright, let’s talk about Tsurigasaki Surfing Beach. The first few days are a bit rough, but there’s a window that’s worth getting up early for.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a lot of ocean energy on Wednesday afternoon, July 8th – the combined swell energy is real strong at 2260. But it’s 7ft from the SSE with a long 15-second period and a cross-onshore breeze. That’s choppy and not much fun. The water’s at 73°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so a spring suit might be a good call.

Things clean up on Friday morning, July 10th. That’s the standout. There’s a solid 7ft swell coming from the S, a 15-second period, and light cross-offshore winds. The combined energy is still strong at 1917, and it’s described as clean and excellent for experienced surfers. That’s the one to mark on your calendar. Friday afternoon keeps the size (7ft) and direction, but the wind picks up to a moderate breeze – still cross-off, so still rideable, just not as glassy.

Saturday morning, July 11th, is also decent – 7ft at 17 seconds from the S, cross-off wind, and combined energy at 2926. But with that very long period, it’ll be powerful and might break a bit straight on this beach break. A good challenge for the experienced crew.

After Saturday morning, the surf drops off a cliff. From Saturday afternoon through to around Wednesday, July 15th, it’s tiny – mostly under 3ft – and weak, with combined energy below 100. There’s a glassy moment on Tuesday afternoon, July 14th, with 2ft and a 10-second period, but it’s barely surfable. That’s a gap of about 3-4 days where you’re better off doing something else.

The second week sees a little pulse come back. Around Friday, July 17th, we’re looking at 5ft from the E, but it’s cross-shore winds and the energy is moderate. Nothing special. Saturday, July 18th shows a little more size – 6ft to 7ft from the ESE – but with cross to cross-onshore winds, it’s likely lumpy. The combined energy gets up to 662, but it’s not clean.

Tuesday, July 21st has 7ft from the ENE, but with a moderate cross-onshore, it’s choppy again. For the rest of the period, it’s all small and junky with onshore winds. Honestly, after that Saturday morning window, there’s nothing that screams “go.”

Bottom line: Friday morning, July 10th, is your best bet. It’s the cleanest, most powerful window. Saturday morning is a backup if you’re up for a challenge. The rest is either too messy or too small. Stay sharp.
