Waves breaking on sandy bottom, varied conditions
Omaezaki Long Beach is a sandy beach break located on Japan's central Pacific coast, facing south toward open ocean. The spot features a gradual slope with consistent shore breaks and relatively calm conditions typical of protected coastal areas. The beach extends for several kilometers with mixed sandy and rocky sections visible in the satellite imagery. This location suits beginner to early intermediate kiters due to shallow, forgiving water conditions and manageable wave heights averaging 1.29m. Wind reliability is moderate at 44%, with average winds of 12.1 knots providing marginal but workable conditions. The best wind direction is easterly (side-shore), which allows for parallel coastal movement and easy exit to shore. Water temperatures around 18°C require seasonal consideration. The area experiences significant agricultural and residential development inland, suggesting potential water quality variations. Kiters should be aware of shallow zones requiring careful board control and the low wind consistency requiring patience for optimal session timing.
