Kimigahama

Kimigahama is a beach break located on Japan's Pacific coast facing south toward open ocean. The spot features a sandy beach with rocky formations visible in the nearshore zone, backed by residential areas and agricultural land. The coastline exhibits typical Japanese coastal characteristics with developed infrastructure adjacent to natural beach areas. Best conditions occur with easterly or westerly winds that provide side-shore flow parallel to the coast. With average wind of 12 knots and 44.8% reliability, sessions may be inconsistent. Average wave height of 1.45m suggests this is suited for intermediate riders building skills rather than advanced progression. Water temperature around 17.5°C requires seasonal consideration for exposure protection. The spot suits intermediate kiters comfortable with variable conditions and minor obstacles. Key considerations include navigating around rocky areas near the shore, understanding local beach access restrictions near residential zones, and planning sessions around the limited wind window. The proximity of populated areas means awareness of swimmers and beach users is essential. This spot offers accessible practice opportunities but consistency may require checking conditions regularly.
