Kamogawa

Kamogawa is a sheltered beach break located on Japan's Chiba Peninsula, facing south toward the Pacific Ocean. The spot sits within a gentle bay with moderate urban development along the immediate coastline. The beach itself is wide with a gradual sandy approach, flanked by rocky headlands on both sides. Water conditions are generally mild with small, consistent waves suitable for learning. Best conditions occur with easterly or westerly winds that blow parallel to the shore, providing side-shore wind necessary for controlled kitesurfing. The spot's primary limitation is its low wind reliability at 11.2%, meaning consistent rideable conditions are infrequent. Average wind speeds of 8.2 knots are marginal for most kitesurfing disciplines. The spot suits beginners and intermediate riders due to protected conditions and manageable wave heights, though wind scarcity may frustrate progression-focused sessions. Access appears straightforward with developed beachfront facilities visible. Kiters should monitor weather forecasts closely and consider this a secondary spot requiring favorable wind windows rather than a reliable primary destination.
