Kojima

Kojima is an exposed beach break on the Kushima coast with reasonably consistent surf and both left and right waves. It’s described as generally working well across the tide, so surfers can plan sessions without needing a very specific tidal window. Wave performance is best when the swell comes from the south to southeast. Reported peak conditions include peeling wave shapes with a moderate wave power profile, and rides are commonly described as medium length (with an example range of about 50 to 100 meters). Offshore Northwest winds are noted for helping groom the waves, which can improve readability and clean peaks. Timing is important: the spot is most strongly associated with autumn and winter, and one dataset highlights December as the best month. The autumn period can overlap with typhoon activity, which is when surf can become especially lively—at the same time, very large typhoon swells may cause the break to close out. Safety-wise, conditions can include rip currents depending on swell size, and submerged rocks are reported near the headlands. Crowd levels can rise substantially when the surf is up, so consider spacing and surf etiquette. The area is also directly associated with Kojima Island wildlife, so be mindful of the environment and your surroundings while you’re on-site.
