About Tsurigasaki Beach
Tsurigasaki Beach is a highly exposed, competitive beach break located in Chiba Prefecture on Japan's Pacific coast. The underlying bathymetry consists of dark, volcanic silica sandbanks that are heavily structured by concrete coastal groynes and jetties. Because the coastline faces directly east-southeast, it is highly receptive to swells generated by passing summer typhoons and winter storm systems. A westerly offshore wind is necessary to groom the inherently choppy wave faces and hold up the steep sections. The wave mechanics typically produce fast, punchy A-frame peaks that offer rapid take-offs and carveable left and right-hand walls, frequently throwing hollow sections on the lower tides. Due to the high volume of water moving across the shallow sandbars, the wave generates substantial hydraulic force and creates powerful, shifting rip currents alongside the groynes. Therefore, Tsurigasaki Beach is best suited for intermediate to advanced surfers who can confidently negotiate powerful, dynamic beach break conditions.

How often is this page updated?
Current conditions refresh every 6 hours when the cron runs. Hourly data updates every 30 minutes. The 7-day forecast, luck factor, and packing notes are all pre-computed at the same time.
What is the luck factor?
We compare the 7-day forecast to the last 5 years of marine data for the same week at Tsurigasaki Beach. The delta tells you whether conditions are shaping up better, worse, or about the same as a typical late April.
How is 'best session' picked?
We score each day of the 7-day forecast using the same algorithm as the leaderboard, and highlight the highest scorer.
Where does the data come from?
Open-Meteo's Marine API (swell height, period, water temperature) and Weather API (wind and conditions).
Does the score capture local knowledge?
Honestly, no. Every break has tide windows, swell directions and reef contours that a global model cannot see. Treat the score as a starting point, then check a local cam.
