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

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a long, flat spell to start. The first real surf to speak of doesn’t show up until Wednesday morning, July 16th, so that’s a quiet couple of days on the beach. From there, through the rest of this week and into next, it’s pretty ordinary – small, weak swells and winds that never quite line up. The combined wave energy is mostly in the weak to moderate range (63 to 299), which tells you there’s just not much push behind these waves. Nothing really gets going until the very end of the window.

The standout, and I mean the one to circle on your calendar, lands on Wednesday, July 29th and Thursday, July 30th. That’s over a week and a half away, so treat it as promising but not locked in yet. But if it holds… Tsurigasaki Surfing Beach (Tokyo 2020) could be the session of the forecast period.

On the morning of the 29th, we’re looking at a 3ft swell from the SE with a *very* long period of 19 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy – the combined energy is a strong 1012, so there’s some real grunt behind it. The wind is offshore from the SW at 15 mph, keeping the face clean. That long period means the waves will have plenty of shape and power, but at a beach break like this, it might wall up and close out a bit. Still, for experienced surfers, that’s a top-tier morning.

Then on Thursday, July 30th, the swell jumps to 8ft from the SSE with a 16-second period. The combined energy is a massive 3660 – that’s serious power. The wind is glassy, completely calm. That’s about as clean as it gets. But at 8ft, this is strictly for experts. The crowd situation at Tsurigasaki can be “sometimes” busy, so expect company if the forecast holds. Water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.

The morning of the 27th also has a little moment with a 3ft SE swell, 10-second period, light offshore wind, and combined energy of 302 – that’s a decent, clean morning but nowhere near the power of the end of the month.

So, the takeaway: the first week and a half is mostly small, choppy, and not worth the paddle. The real action is in the final few days, especially the 29th and 30th. Keep your fingers crossed and your board waxed.

Rusty.
