Waves breaking on sandy bottom, varied conditions
Futtsumisaki South is located on the eastern coast of Japan facing the Pacific Ocean. The spot features a sandy beach backed by dense forest with some commercial development visible. The shoreline runs roughly north-south with the water facing east toward the open ocean. Wave conditions are minimal with 0.56m average height, making this primarily a wind-sport venue rather than a wave-riding destination. Wind reliability is relatively low at 32.9%, with modest average winds of 10.7 knots. The best wind direction for side-shore conditions is easterly (90°), providing safe left-to-right transitions along the beach. Water conditions are choppy rather than organized. This spot suits beginners and intermediate kiters seeking flatwater sessions with long beaches for progression. Key considerations include the shallow nearshore area requiring careful entry and exit, variable wind conditions requiring patience for sessions, and the need to avoid the commercial/industrial infrastructure visible along the shore. The adjacent forest provides some wind blocking. Sessions are best planned during higher wind days when reliability improves.
