Inamuragasaki
Edit SpotAbout
Great wave on the right day(a few per year), but localised crowd on those days. Paddleboarders and other locals hog the spot, giving the stink-eye to others who manage to get good waves. So much for the polite image of Japanese. Not true of many of the surfers...big fish in a little pond.
Atmosphere:
Due to its location close to Tokyo. It gets very crowded on mid-size swells. But when huge swells roll in, it gets less crowded a little bit. A really good left-hander. From time to time professional surfers (not only Japanese) can be spotted here.
Additional Info:
Sparks only when Taifun Swells hit this point.
This spot is the most famous spot in Japan.
