Habushiura Beach

Habushiura Beach is located on Japan's Izu Peninsula coast, facing west toward the Pacific Ocean. The spot features a sandy beach break with consistent swell exposure and moderate wave conditions averaging 1.76m. A notable geographic feature is the large airport runway complex immediately adjacent to the beach, which creates unique operational hazards including aircraft movements and related wind disturbances. The area experiences side-shore conditions from northerly winds, which provide the most consistent and safe kitesurfing window. Wind reliability of 63.7% and average wind speeds of 15.3 knots support regular sessions during favorable periods. The spot suits intermediate kiters comfortable with crowded conditions and environmental complexities. Key considerations include strict adherence to airport airspace restrictions, awareness of changing wind patterns caused by runway thermal effects, and potential sudden wind shifts from aircraft operations. Water temperature averages 19.3°C, requiring seasonal wetsuit consideration. Local regulations regarding beach access and kitesurfing zones should be thoroughly researched before visiting.
