Ichimatsu Beach

Ichimatsu Beach is an ESE-facing beach break in Chosei, Chiba, Japan. It picks up swell from NE to S, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 43% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the WNW: light winds or WNW breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while ESE onshores chop it up.
