Japan Surf

Detailed Japan surf forecast maps and the latest eyeball surf report from local surfers in the region. Near-shore swell is shown on the map together with the surf forecast rating for spots in Japan. Find the best places to surf in offshore conditions by selecting the wind option on the forecast map. Windsurfers and kite surfers can also use this option to find more favorable cross-shore conditions in Japan. Our local Wavefinder indicates where some of the best conditions are likely to be found in Japan over the next 7 days. Surf photos from Japan and reviews of the best spots and surfing conditions have been provided by local surfers.
