Uraga Point (Yokosuka)

Uraga Point is an exposed point break at the entrance of Uraga Harbor (Yokosuka) with a rocky bottom. The spot is best when a solid southerly swell wraps around the point and west winds are in place to keep faces cleaner. Because the break is rocky and the access points can be slippery, it’s best suited to surfers who are comfortable operating around hazards in the lineup. Reporting emphasizes that west wind is the key for clean surf, while strong south swell is required for the point to properly “connect” and produce rideable waves. Conditions are described as rarely crowded, since the break only truly comes alive with the right swell/wind combination. Some reports note surf can appear across tide stages, but the break is often discussed around a workable mid-tide window. Safety-wise, the harbor entrance brings maritime risk: strong tidal currents, heavy ship traffic, and rocks (plus urchins) in and around the wave zone. Keep clear of shipping lanes and be cautious when entering/exiting near the rocky shoreline—especially when swell is strong and shore break can push against the rocks. Seasonally, the most favorable wave timing is reported in autumn, with late summer and typhoon-season patterns also referenced as producing the most consistent south swell. Water temperatures can be warm in late summer, but winter can drop close to the mid-teens, so wetsuit planning should follow the season and expected conditions.
