About This Spot
Torii Beach is located on the western coast of Okinawa, Japan, facing the East China Sea. The spot features a gradual beach break with extensive shallow water zones extending offshore, characteristic of protected lagoon-like conditions. The sandy beach transitions into agricultural and developed land, with industrial facilities visible to the north. The moderate average wind speed of 10.2 knots combined with low wind reliability (28.4%) suggests this is a seasonal spot requiring patient planning. Water temperatures average 23.8°C with small average wave heights of 1.02m, indicating calm conditions typical of sheltered coastal areas. Best conditions occur with northerly winds providing side-shore flow. The spot is well-suited for beginners and intermediate kiters seeking mellow, predictable conditions without heavy swell exposure. Shallow water throughout the riding area minimizes impact forces but requires careful awareness of reef and sandbank features. Limited wave height makes progression difficult for advanced riders. Access appears straightforward from adjacent developed areas.
Hazards & Safety

Agricultural land drainage patterns suggest variable water quality
Industrial and commercial zones to the north - potential boat traffic
Rocky outcrops visible along shoreline in northern section
Limited fetch distance due to nearby landmass to the west
