Nagai Point

Nagai Point is an advanced right-hand reef point break on the Miura Peninsula area near Yokosuka. It is described as fairly exposed and frequently inconsistent, meaning good sessions depend on getting enough southwest/south swell to wrap around and ride cleanly on the reef. The spot is best when offshore winds come from the northeast/north, which helps groom the wave face. The break is reef-rocky with shallow, reef/rock hazards (including sharp rocks and coral/reef features). It works at low and mid tide, and providers consistently stress the need for experienced surfers due to the combination of reef bottom, shallow sections, and submerged hazards. On optimal days, riders can expect long, quality rides—commonly around 50–150 m, with longer runs up to roughly 150–300 m on the best swell (including typhoon-driven setups). Seasonally, the strongest window is late summer through autumn. One provider highlights late August through October, while another baseline indicates that July can be the best month for finding the conditions. Typhoon season (especially August to October) is noted as a key driver for producing the longer-fetch swell needed for the spot to really come alive. Because water is cool year-round and windchill can be significant, a wetsuit setup appropriate for cold water is emphasized (spring wetsuit with gloves/boots in shoulder seasons; colder months may require thicker protection; some sources also mention using a hood). Lifeguards are not indicated at the spot, so plan for self-rescue readiness and careful entry/footing around the rocky access and surf zone. Access may be restricted/private due to proximity to headland/Navy housing—verify before going.
