Kasaricho Oaza Sani

Kasaricho is a protected beach break located on Okinawa's west-facing coast in Japan. The spot features a gently sloping sandy beach with nearshore shallow reef structures visible in the clear turquoise water. A substantial line of moored boats and anchored vessels runs parallel to shore, indicating active recreational and fishing use. Dense tropical vegetation covers the hinterland with winding coastal access roads. The spot experiences modest wave heights (1.11m average) and moderate wind reliability (44.9%). Best conditions occur with northerly winds providing side-shore flow along the west-facing beach. The shallow, protected nature and consistent small waves make this suitable for beginners and intermediate riders seeking mellow, forgiving conditions. However, the heavy boat traffic requires careful navigation and awareness of vessel movements. Water temperatures average 22.8°C, suitable year-round. Access appears limited to the developed southern section with housing. The reef and shallow areas demand respect and local knowledge to avoid grounding.
