Katase Higashihama

Katase Higashihama is an S-facing beach break in Fujisawa, Kanagawa, Japan. It picks up swell from SSE to S and SSW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 82% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the N: light winds or N breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while S onshores chop it up.
