Kaguchihama (Takanabe)

Kaguchihama (Takanabe) is a beach-break surf spot with regular, fun waves that can deliver both left and right options. Sources describe the bottom as sandy with rocks/reef patches, producing peaky beach-break behavior that works from below 1 m and can build to around 2 m+ when conditions align. Best performance is consistently linked to a southeast swell meeting offshore northwest wind (often described as West winds for offshore). When the wind turns onshore—especially toward east—it can create more chop and reduce cleanliness. A light, summer afternoon thermal pattern is noted for the wider coast, while winter conditions are more front-driven. Ride lengths are typically short (often under 50 m), but on better days surfers report usable rides in the 50–150 m range. Tides are described as working across all tides by one source, while another notes best results during mid-tide movement. Safety-wise, rips and reef/hidden rocks are recurring warnings. Extra caution is recommended when typhoon swell is present, and lifeguard coverage is described as seasonal—so outside the main season you should assume reduced assistance in an emergency.
