Uchizuma Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s talk Uchizuma. This spot’s an inconsistent, fairly exposed beginner break, but what’s comin’ through is no joke. Water temp is 25°, which is a bit chillier than average for this time of year.

The first real action starts Thursday afternoon, July 9th, with a 10ft swell from the SSE, packing 3559 (moderate to strong energy). But the wind’s onshore, and it’s lookin’ marginal – not your wave.

Friday the 10th and Saturday the 11th are absolute giants. Swell hits 11–13ft from the S and SSW, with energy readings shootin’ up to 6993–9976 (strong to very strong). That’s heavy, deep water power. Winds are light Friday morning, but that much swell at Uchizuma is way too big – experts only, and even then, it’s a beast. Afternoon gets cross-onshore and choppy.

Sunday the 12th is the one. The swell drops to 10ft from the SSW Sunday morning, with a long 16-second period (groundswell) and glassy wind. That’s a standout for experienced surfers – clean, powerful, and lined up. Energy is still 4556 (strong). The afternoon sees it drop to 8ft, still glassy, still clean. This is the best on offer, but only if you’ve got the skills.

Monday the 13th morning is still glassy, with 5ft from the SSW, period 12 seconds, and energy at 692 (moderate). That’s very good, clean surf for the competent crew. The afternoon gets a bit smaller with a risk of thunderstorms, but still glassy.

Then we hit a dry spell. From Tuesday the 14th through the 18th, the swell drops off hard – 1–3ft, mostly poor conditions, onshore or cross-onshore winds, and weak energy. There’s a brief window on Saturday the 18th morning with a glassy 4ft from the SE, but it’s marginal.

After that, from the 19th onward, it’s a long stretch of small, weak, and mostly poor surf – 2–4ft, but winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the energy rarely breaks 300. A few glassy mornings on the 22nd, 23rd, and 24th bring tiny 1–2ft waves, but they’re ordinary at best.

So, the standout is Sunday the 12th: clean, glassy, powerful SSW groundswell – that’s the one to circle on the calendar. After that, it’s a waiting game.
