Miura Kaigan

Miura Kaigan is a beach break located on the eastern shore of the Miura Peninsula in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, facing the open Pacific Ocean. The spot features a sandy beach with extensive agricultural lands behind the coastal development, creating a sheltered, low-energy environment. Consistent side-shore winds from the north provide the best conditions, though the area experiences relatively low wind reliability at 42.4% annually. Average wave heights of 0.81m and water temperatures around 17.7°C make this a gentle learning environment. The spot suits beginners and recreational kiters seeking calm, forgiving conditions rather than challenging waves or strong winds. Visibility of surrounding farms and suburban development indicates moderate fetch and protection from larger swells. Water quality considerations apply due to proximity to agricultural areas. Best sessions occur during seasons with sustained northerly winds. The shallow, gradual beach break provides safe conditions for progression but limits potential for advanced riders seeking stronger winds or larger waves.
