Taito (Chosei)

Reported as a kite-friendly spot during the summer thermal wind window, with relatively flatter water nearer the jetty and rolling waves further out.

Kite Sizes

9–12 m²

Used by local windsurfers across north and south wind directions; sandy bottom supports a generally safer feel.

Sail Sizes

5–7.5 m²

Increasingly popular due to sandy bottom and harbor shelter that reduces extreme chop.

Foil Friendly

Yes — Foil-friendly conditions are explicitly noted.

Min Depth

1.5 meters

Wing Sizes

4–6 m²

A protected, sandy beach-break setting near the harbor where southeast swell wrapping into/around port structures can produce clean, playful surf.

Wave Direction

Both

Optimal Swell

SE, E, NE

Swell Height

0.5–2.5 m

Optimal Tide

All tides — Works on all tides; both rising and falling tides are noted.

Shelter

Semi-sheltered — Sheltered by the cape/port structures relative to more exposed sections.

Wind Effect

Cleaner/groomed when winds are offshore and the protected harbor/port geometry helps; southeast swell wrapping can improve cleanliness, while winter swell/wind patterns can be less clean.

Bigger Swell

The protected shoreline can temper mid-sized swell into more manageable surf, but larger swell can still produce closure issues depending on swell angle (may close out if too direct from the east).

Wave Quality

Good — Described as good/regionally classic.

Wave Power

Moderate — Regional reports describe it as fun/pleasant rather than heavy.

Wave Shape

Mixed — Described as peeling/peel-capable; also reported as mixed shape.

Peel Speed

Medium — Reported as medium to slow.

Ride Length

Medium — Normal rides are typically discussed as 50–150 m.

Typical Ride Length
