About
KDDI is an open sandy beach break near Miyazaki, known for fun left and right peaks over a sandy bottom. The spot is described as easy to access with instant walking access once you arrive at the beach entry. Surf tends to start working on smaller swell (less than 1 m) and can hold bigger energy up to around 2 m+ before closing out. The most consistent swell directions are SouthEast, East, and NorthEast, with best performance generally linked to those swell angles. Reported wave quality is good, with moderate wave power and a mixed wave shape. Wind-wise, West winds are identified as the optimal direction (often offshore), helping produce cleaner, more groomed conditions. Availability is described as regular, and the spot is noted as popular—especially on weekends—so early sessions are recommended. Safety is a key consideration: reef and submerged rocks are reported hazards, and rip currents can occur depending on swell and tide. The sandbar/conditions can shift after storms, so it’s advised to check before committing, and beginner sessions should account for current and hidden hazards. Typhoon season is typically when the surf becomes most active, aligning with July through October as the strongest period.
