What the spot record warns about

  • typhoon swells can get big and hollowTyphoon swell can make the sandbar wave big, hollow or closing out.
  • designated swim-only zones in high summer restrict kitingcrowded lineup shared with surfers and SUPs, especially weekends and summer
  • Heavy surfer crowding in Shonan and at Chigasaki when waves appear, especially on good surf days.
  • Rip/current risk around the breakwater when surf is head-high or larger.
