Today's Surf Conditions at Katahama
Best Surf Season & Climatology
Best Surf Season (October - November)
The Pacific typhoon season collides with the first strong cold fronts roaring out of Asia, and Katahama finds its rhythm. Tropical and extratropical systems together fire up a consistent train of E, ESE, and SE swell that marches straight into the ESE-facing beach, while the developing Siberian high begins to pump increasingly frequent offshore winds from the W and WNW. The result is the most reliable combination of optimal swell direction and clean, groomed surf. Average wave heights hover in the fun 4ft (1.2m) range, with periods stretching into the mid-8-second zone, giving rippable, punchy peaks on the best days.
