Wind Days = % of days with 12–35 knot average wind speed (ideal kiting conditions). Based on 4 years of historical weather data.
Exposed to open sea with waves and stronger conditions
Agarizaki Lighthouse is located on Japan's exposed coastline facing northwest into open ocean. The spot features a rocky, cliff-lined shore with shallow reef structures creating distinct white water patterns visible in the satellite imagery. The dramatic water discoloration indicates strong currents and significant depth variations typical of this coastal geography. Average wind of 12.4 knots with moderate reliability (48.1%) and waves averaging 1.56m suggest variable conditions. The northeast wind direction (45°) provides side-shore conditions relative to the northwest-facing coastline. This spot suits advanced kiters comfortable with reef navigation, strong currents, and rocky terrain. The limited sandy beach and prevalent shallow reef hazards require precise boat positioning and exit strategy. Water temperatures averaging 24.9°C are manageable. Best conditions occur during consistent wind periods with adequate fetch development. Beginners should avoid this location due to hazardous landing zones and complex water dynamics.
